The bus shelter lots of peoploe in Tilehurst are waiting for is the one by the Plough opposite the Triangle in Tilehurst. It should appear in two weeks time after they complete the one outside Park Lane School. Pierce’s Hill, the other bus shelter that a number of people have asked me about is not due till October, as is the one at the top of City Road.

By November all the nearly 200 original bus shelters will have been replaced but it is thanks to the previous Labour  Administration that we had such a long gap between losing all our bus shelters and new ones being installed. There are a lot of folk, especially the elderly ones, who are quite angry at how this transition has been managed. This is no way to support public transport in Reading and, frankly, Labour have let the town down.
