SIR — I would like to complain about the bus service in the afternoon to take schoolchildren from the bus stop at Minehead's Alcombe Road junction with Elm Grove.

The First bus used to come at 15.50 but now the earliest it gets here is 16.05, and if it's a Butlins changeover day it can be 16.15.

I believe this is so that it can run the route just in front of the Webberbus service.

The schoolchildren are now at the bus stop for at least 20 minutes and sometimes 30, and they have started damaging my property in the driveway of my home.

They also run about in the roadway, causing passing vehicles to brake and swerve.

It is only a matter of time before there is a serious accident.

I now have to stand out in my driveway from 15.40 until 16.05 or 16.15 to keep the children away from my property.

I know the education authority are too weak to do anything about it.

But the police are aware of the situtation and hopefully may take action before a schoolchild gets injured or killed.

George Eaton,

Alcombe Road,

Minehead.
