Mother complains she is 'living at a bus stop'

Louise Carter says she cannot relax since a bus stop was put outside her home

A single mother with two young children has said she has no privacy since a bus stop was created outside her front door in St Helier.

Louise Carter said people sat on her doorstep at her home in Grands Vaux, ran sticks along the railings and bus passengers stared into her living room.

When she first contacted the Department of Infrastructure, she said they were talking about moving the bus stop around the corner.

Infrastructure Minister Andy Jehan said the "matter is being looked into".

Louise Carter said she is at her wit's end

The stop, which was put in place in mid-May, is available to 12 buses, six days a week from just before 07:30 every morning, except Sunday.

Mrs Carter said: "I'm at my wit's end now. It's depressing living at a bus stop.

"It causes anxiety because I can't sit peacefully at home.

"People are constantly outside my home. They're sitting on my doorstep. They're chatting away from seven in the morning until late at night.

"I have no peace. I just feel like I have no privacy at all".

In a statement, Minister Jehan said: "The matter is being looked into and discussions are ongoing.

"These discussions have included the Parish of St Helier, government officers and Deputy Max Andrews.”
