Roadworks on Maple Avenue were due to start yesterday (Mon. 19th Aug.), diversion and road closure signs were displayed and the number 11 bus observed the diversion.
Today (Tues. 20th Aug.) there was no sign of any road repairers on Maple Avenue. The diversion signs remained in place but the closure signs lay on the ground.
No-one knew what was happening with the buses. A group of tourists on Main St. played a game of British Bulldog with the traffic as passing villagers alternately advised them that the bus would stop on whichever other side of the road!
If City of York Council is going to mess people about like this, they should at least publish information about changes at the affected bus stops.

I don't normally rush to defend the City Council , but I was in Maple Avenue Tuesday late afternoon and works were being undertaken, to be fair the weather has not helped and of course I guess it may take longer than planned. At least the road is being repaired.
