Students in danger at busy bus shelter warn residents

Students' lives are being put at risk at a bus stop near Market Drayton because it is too close to a major roundabout, worried residents warned today.

Jayne Whitfield, of Market Drayton, is calling for action to be taken before a youngster waiting to go to school or college is killed or seriously injured when using the bus stop next to the Tern Hill roundabout.

And she has support from parents who are forced to drop their children there to catch buses to schools and colleges across Telford and north Shropshire.

Mrs Whitfield said children are being dropped off by parents on the opposite side of the road in the mornings, meaning many have to run across the A53 to reach the bus stop.
