A mystery utility company could not be bothered to repaint a full bus stop sign, leaving a half baked effort on the Industrial Estate.

The ‘work’ is believed to have been carried out earlier this week on Coed Aben road by the bus stop outside of the Village Bakery.

We are told by someone familiar with the processes involved that often such works mean that replacement tarmac and paint is only required on the areas worked on, which in cases such as these means some of the surrounding markings can be left mismatched.

After we enquired for further detail from Wrexham Council a spokesperson said: “This is not the work of Wrexham Council employees but down to the work of a utility company.

“We have made them aware of our dissatisfaction as to how they have left the state of the road and have asked to address the obvious problem that has been left by their workmen.”

This is the bus stop in all its former glory via the Google Streetview archive:
