Oh, what a surprise? It’s happened in the magnet for anti social behaviour The Bus Station again. But mention the fact that the place is an eyesore, a blight on Pudsey, and more, and someone will come and tell you that you are being too harsh on the place. Perhaps we could ask ex councillor Lewis for his comments seeing as he was instrumental in the construction and fruition of the monstrosity in the first place?
Couldn’t have said it better.
