WAITING outside the Odeon cinema in New Canal, I noticed one of our new bus shelters had been vandalised.
Some clown has seen fit to remove all three fixing screws on one side panel, leaving three others to hold a six by two foot glass panel in place.
One good push would break the glass free from its mountings and this would cause serious injury to passers-by.
I reported this to the bus company but nothing happened.
I telephoned the following day and the bus company said they had told the council.
I rang the council and was told they were not sure who maintained the shelters and so would do nothing.
What should have happened?
I feel the panel should have been removed or re-bolted immediately.
Not to do so contravenes the health and safety of bus users and passers-by.
Secondly, all shelters should be checked for safety and a watch kept for people causing damage.
Has no one heard the expression "actions speak louder than words"?
