[Old Cruser]

According to the Derbyshire Times!
15 apparently but three are :
Saltergate Council offices,
Eyres and Victoria Centre.

Sent off a letter to D.T. for the letters page about a month ago, I'd given up on it till I saw it had been printed in this last issue.

Won't make an 'aporth of difference but I got it off my chest.

[Old Cruser]

Nice one?

Read in this weeks D.T. the council in their infinite wisdom has closed down the toilets in the coach station on Tontine road.

So people if you've just endured a couple of hours coach ride to Chesterfield and you desperately need a wazz on alighting.... Oh' dear!!!!!!!

Yes there are toilets across the way at the top of the escalators but if your a stranger to Chesterfield just hope the're well signposted.

[Old Cruser]

Wazz  It's a long time since I heard that word.
If I was needing one after a long trip, - having to  go to the precinct toilets ----- it would be too late.

Another letter printed in this weeks D.T. about the roads, two for two I'm doing well....besides it keeps me out of mischief!

One of the latest Grotspots must be the Visitor Information Centre....now closed....A stupid decision...so, so stupid...Even as a local I would have a look around it every time go to town...

[Old Cruser]

It was placed in a decent position where it was. Buses and on route to/from train station. It is a shame they've moved it

[Sorastro]

I have always maintained that the donut r/about would have made the perfect bus/coach station, lets face it go down the escalators in the precinct and there's next to nothing on Beetwell street just bus stops for wino's to throw up in and the homeless to kip in, plus the Tontine road coach station is was never very well designed and is a death trap especially during bad weather.
Just imagine all the buses you want in one place, no stupid bus stops dotted round the town, no wondering if your stood at the correct stop, possibly room for a taxi rank as well, I mean even Clay Cross, Alfreton and Mansfield have got far superior bus stations to us... no wonder it's because we haven't got one.

If the bus station had been put on the donut it would have transformed the top end of town almost overnight, no empty Elder Way no empty old Council offices the list goes on.
