Thornbury left waiting more than eight months for buses to return to High Street

Residents and visitors of a town north of Bristol have been left waiting more than eight months for buses to return to the High Street.

Buses have not stopped on Thornbury High Street since the road was closed to vehicles at the beginning of the pandemic. But last November, South Gloucestershire Council revealed plans to reopen the shopping street to buses, after locals voiced anger about the changes.

However, eight months later and the town is still waiting for buses to revert back to their original route through the High Street, with no date for their return yet made public. Buses are using a diversion route through Rock Street, although some say this has caused safety issues. Council bosses were quizzed on when buses would return, at a cabinet meeting on July 11.
