Overview

  • The stop outside Christopher Harris and Michelle Smith’s home on Llantrisant Road has already seen buses halt in front of their drive, sometimes blocking access.
  • Harris says the location differs from plans he saw and that no consultation informed them the stop would be outside their house.
  • A Rhondda Cynon Taf Council spokesperson said officers will look into the concerns as a priority to improve access to local bus services.
  • The resident expects the stop to serve schoolchildren from next month, raising safety worries about queues outside his gates.
  • Harris has contacted a local councillor and is waiting to hear from a traffic officer, and a bus driver told him the siting “wasn’t right.”
