Stagecoach was forced to cancel one of their routes this morning due to badly parked cars.

Stagecoach West announced on Twitter on Thursday morning (October 6) that the 50 service was unable to go on due to badly parked cars in Ampney Crucis that the bus was unable to get past.

 

Because of this, Stagecoach was forced to cancel the 50 service until the problem with the parked cars was resolved.

A spokesperson from Stagecoach said: "The service was delayed for around 30 minutes. 

"The car owner was located (in the church) and moved the car.

"This isn't a problem we have in this area so just a one off."

Back in 2017, a letter was sent to residents in Highworth after badly parked cars was blamed for hindering emergency services travelling on Stapleton Close.

The joint letter from both the council and the police said: “Both the police and town council have received a number of complaints about inconsiderate parking in Stapleton Close over the years.

“The main worry has always been that emergency vehicles would find it difficult to get past cars to reach an incident in the Close."
