BECAUSE passengers on the top deck of buses waiting at the terminus in Tredegar are able to see into consulting rooms of a clinic, the South Wales Traffic Commissioners at Cardiff last week refused to approve a new stopping place for three operators.

Mr. J. E. Rogers, assistant clerk to Caerphilly Urban District Council, applied on behalf of his own Transport Department, Cardiff Transport Department and the West Monmouthshire Omnibus Board for permission to move the terminal point from The Circle to .Iron Street. A dispensation had been granted by the Traffic Commissioners, and the point was already being used.

The chairman of the Commissioners, Mr. Idris Owen, handed Mr. Rogers two letters and asked if he had knowledge of complaints that passengers on the upper decks were able to see into the consulting rooms of an adjacent clinic.

Mr. Rogers said he understood that the complaints had been met. Tredegar Town Council had marked the road with 'a white line. Drivers using the point had been ordered not to go beyond it.

The chairman said that the Commissioners would reserve their decision to allow the operators to go further into the matter.

"If they can satisfy us that the present site is the correct one and there will he sufficient supervision of buses to see that instructions are carried Out so as not to give rise to further complaints, we will approve it," he said.
