If this is the same area, I have just recieved an email from a very helpful neighour, Gerry, who is on the forum. They are building a wall around the tree and putting a water feature there in the winter. Apparently with his hard work (I signed the petition)and Im sure others have also been working hard, the local police spoke to the bus company for over 2 hours and its looking less likely that they will be there next year...hoorah. Thanks to everyone who lives out there for persisting in this parking problem. I really do appreciate it.
