The new shelter, located on Glen Road close to Edwards Drive and Bellingham Crescent, is said to provide inadequate cover from wind and rain.
Passengers complain that the brief canopy and minimal side panels offer very little protection, particularly when spray from passing lorries hits them. A regular at the Glen Road bus stops, Jillian Oxley expressed her dissatisfaction, stating: "Myself and others were happy with the previous shelters, and now the new shelters barely keep us dry."
In support of local concerns, Plympton Chaddlewood Councillor Ian Poyser of the Green Party declared: "Our community deserves functional and comfortable bus shelters, especially in high-traffic areas like Glen Road where we have high volumes of HGV traffic."
