Why have the seats at some bus stops in Elm Grove, Brighton, been removed?

I refer, in particular, to those at the bottom of Arnold Street and opposite the bottom of Lynton Street.

Also, one bus stop near the top of the grove is yards from the shelter.

I appreciate, over the years, work has been done to the roads and pavements, resulting in moving various items but there is no excuse not to reinstate shelters and seats when work is complete.

I, too, am elderly and am grateful for a seat to rest on when waiting for buses.
