I WRITE with regard to the on-going correspondence in your pages on the new bus stop in Church Street.

This is the main bus stop in Great Malvern, so one would have hoped that at least the same facilities would have been provided.

However, the new shelter is smaller and offers no protection against the elements. This is a very busy bus stop with many of us being no longer in the first flush. The number 42 bus for Fruitlands is unreliably late and often non-existent. We are always encouraged to use public transport, many of us have no choice, but these poor facilities do not help.
