Locals left comments..  Doug Gordon says "It’s a dangerous hazard to motorists causing damage to vehicles."

Vikki Patton says, "Too many accidents happen, the posts on the edge of the pavement need removing."

Jane Redding says, "It's so dangerous with cars vans and lorry's going through the bus lane to avoid damaging their vehicles and I don't blame them. Please rethink it."
