A CONTRACTOR has been appointed to carry out work to fix five bus shelters in Salisbury that have been slammed for being "not-fit-for-purpose".
Resident David Brown has been calling on Salisbury Area Board to fix issues with the bus shelters in Coronation Road, Devizes Road, Balmoral Road, Bishopdown Road and Herbert Road.
He has previously described the shelters as “absolute rubbish” and “not fit for purpose" and said there is a gap at the top of them which meant people were getting wet.
Chairman of the area board, Councillor Sven Hocking, speaking at a meeting on Thursday (January 23), said: "We have appointed a contractor to carry out remedial work on the five bus shelters. The date is still yet to be decided but we have got some ongoing work and that will happen."
The project was first approved at a Salisbury Area Board meeting in July 2018, when £10,958 was allocated by Wiltshire Council to replace the existing shelters.
