Wednesday 28th April
I have been contacted by various residents about the removal of the bus stop at
Vicarage Road/Kings Heath Road, Kings Heath. Centro claim that they have removed it due to health and safety. I am still at a loss to see why this bus stop has been closed due to health and safety reasons. Why wasn't it closed 2 years ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago when the stop was there. I am not aware of anything changing around the area that much since then.
The key part of Centro's response below is
"the Local Highways Office carried out an in-depth study into accident statistics in this area. This study highlighted a number of road traffic accidents at this
location. As a result the Local Highways Officer ruled that given the
history of accidents at this location, the stopping point was no longer
a safe stopping point for buses to use. Based on this information we
were instructed to remove the bus stopping point."
