Anyone have a bus stop outside their house?

Thank you .

kerbs were raised in 2006

I bought the house, the road markings for the stop show it as not being in front of the house.... contravening GMPTE's design guidelines and misrepresenting where the stop is. The stop worked fine until it was upgraded to a "Quality bus corridor" and got raised kerbs. Now buses have to stop at the raised kerb and are unable to stop within the road markings and at the raised kerb. As for moving it along, there are no driveways for about 100 yards downstream of the stop so the stop doesn't need to block anyones driveway!

                 Can you tell me when they did the raised kerbs .

if you mean that money shouldn't be spent moving a bus stop either, the stop in question contravenes GMPTE's own design guidelines, yet GMPTE refuse to do anything about it. My opinion (and it is of course only that), is that where a mistake has been made, it should be corrected, rather than the spending of more money on seemingly unnecessary upgrades to assets that are already functioning perfectly well. 

              Gmpte have nothing to do with bus stops or kerbs . the man to contack is TONY GUNTER OF STOCKPORT MBC .

which bus stop are you talking about? If the stop has always been there then why did you buy the house in the first place?

.... even though it could easily be moved a few yards along and not have to affect anybody?

Er, do you mean "they" should move it from outside your house to outside someone else's?

            They wont move it .

Andy, unsure why you've linked the two items?

for a crossing that was already there that was for me as a cyclist perfectly usable. We can blow £150k on a new crossing but we can't fill in the pot holes we already have.

Can I refer the gentleman to his own statement above, which was taken from another thread.
