Commissioners Pressure Government Over Glen Mona Bus Shelter
The decision to remove the bus shelter on the north bound A2 in Glen Mona has been robustly questioned by the Commissioners.
The primary concern is for the safety of schoolchildren who may seek shelter at the stop across the road in bad weather; necessitating the crossing of a busy road at peak traffic times.
No notice or announcement was made by Bus Vannin or the Department of Infrastructure prior to the removal. The Commissioners have received written assurance that an alternative site is being planned in the immediate vicinity from the Department of Infrastructure.
The Commissioners will maintain pressure on government until that outcome is achieved. ¶ 21:30
