I whole heartedly agree with your correspondent Laura Gillan’s Letter (Shuttle 26th March) regarding the bus service in Wyre Forest.

Never in my memory have services been so bad.

Buses don’t turn up on time, services are cancelled leaving people standing at bus stops for up to two hours!!

The drivers are not paid sufficiently and the service is short staffed!

Buses are left standing at bus stops in Kidderminster and no drivers are available to drive them!!

Stationary buses choke passengers who wait at bus stops with appalling exhaust smoke and fumes – a lack of consideration for those waiting.

Bus driving is a very serious and responsible job and drivers are badly paid.

I have raised these issues with the bus companies and Worcestershire County Council over many years and shall continue doing so.

Many bus routes are subsidised through the county council by us, the tax payers.

Diamond buses and Conservatives at County Hall – get your act together and sort out our local bus services to give our people a better service.
