(That does trump stand AL in Acocks Green, for some reason, they've taken off the side next to the road, so the whole shelter is open on that side. The shelter's not been replaced, still the same one. No idea why they've done it.)
They have done that to most of the stops on Hawthorn Road, plus the 7/28 stop at the Crossways
Strange that they haven't done this to the other shelters in Acocks Green village.
Is it to save money on the cleaning contract with OCS I wonder? (less shelter = less for OCS to clean lol :D)
This has happened in Coventry, especially on the Holyhead Rd, it appears only shelters carrying double-sided adverts [some scrolling on one side and fixed the other] have been altered. Presumably Network WM & Clear Channel Adshel have come to a recent agreement whereby the frontal piece of some shelters - the bit nearest the kerb - can be removed allowing the ad to be seen from the road more easily. On a similar theme Adshel's 10-year exclusive right to advertise on Centro/NWM's shelters comes to an end in July, I guess expressions of interest etc will be issued soon, if they haven't already.
