Following on from your article concerning parking in Tempest Avenue, Potters Bar (‘We can’t go on like this’, Barnet and Potters Bar Times, February 26).

Parking problems in and around the area (Coopers Lane and the Causeway in particular) are caused by at least 300 bus drivers using the bus garage. Drivers have told me they have nowhere to park within the bus garage so they have to find the nearest spot so they can walk to the depot. The buses that use the garage are not even for the use of Potters Bar residents.

Buses for Barnet Hospital leave and return to the bus garage, but Potters Bar residents have to catch the 84 bus to Barnet and then get the bus to the hospital.

The bus garage is of no use to residents of Potters Bar — we get all the fumes and all the associated problems, without any benefits.

Hertsmere Borough Council has made no comment when asked about the situation.
