A “DANGEROUSLY degraded” bus shelter in Menora has been replaced.
Mt Lawley MLA Simon Millman said he raised concerns on behalf of residents about the removal of a dangerously degraded bus shelter on Plantation Street earlier this year.
The City of Stirling and Public Transport Authority (PTA) initially replaced the shelter with a post but he believed this was insufficient for the aged care residents who used the stop.

“It was just unnecessary, and I couldn’t understand the delay in providing a better standard of protection for residents.
“To their credit, the City of Stirling were as concerned as I was about this situation and worked with the PTA to ensure a shelter with a seat has now been put in place.”
