A bus shelter that was demolished earlier this year on Bounds Green Road is set to be replaced in September by Transport for London after pressure from Haringey councillor and GLA member, Lynne Featherstone.

Cllr Featherstone was made aware of the problem by elderly residents in nearby flats who complained that since the demolition of the shelter they have had to endure wind and rain while waiting for the bus over the last few months.

However TfL claimed they were unable to replace the shelter because there was not one of a similar configuration available. However after pressure from Cllr Featherstone, TfL have placed an order for a new shelter and assured her that it will be installed by the end of September.

Cllr Featherstone comments:

“This is good news for local residents and I am pleased that there will now be a new shelter before winter sets in. It is much needed.”
