Apley Court residents are unhappy the bus that goes past their homes has been axed

Those living at the Apley Court development have had a bus stop right outside their homes where they could catch the number 16 bus four times a day to and from Wellington.

But that service has been axed, along with nine others in the Telford area.

While there is a number 4 bus giving quicker and more direct transport to Telford town centre that stop is some way down the road.
