Cars blocking road has urged national express bus to change their route.
A spokesman for National Express Coventry told CoventryLive: “Buses heading towards Binley will now use Humber Road, Binley Road and Stoke Green instead of Bolingbroke Road. Buses towards Coventry will continue to use Bolingbroke Road.
From Sunday 2nd November, there will be a route change to service 3 due to the width of the road making it difficult for buses to pass each other.
Heading towards Binley
Buses will now use Humber Road, Binley Road and Stoke Green. Bolingbroke Road will not be served.
Heading towards Coventry
Buses will follow the current line of route along Bolingbroke Road.
Volunteers are needed to help build a 20m (65.6ft) cardboard structure to mark the 85th anniversary of the Coventry Blitz in World War Two.
Other Routes
From Monday 20th October, Clifford bridge road will be closed to permit Binley Cycleway works to take place.
Bus stops on Clifford Bridge Road towards Rugby/University of Warwick will be suspended until further notice, passengers are advised to use bus stops on Brinklow Road.
Buses towards University Hospital will be unaffected.
Please plan ahead using the TfWM journey planner.

She Walks in Beauty
By Lord Byron (George Gordon)
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Why you should Read
Reading provides cognitive, emotional, and physical benefits, including improved memory, critical thinking, and vocabulary. It also reduces stress, enhances empathy, and can help delay age-related cognitive decline like dementia. For children, reading builds a foundation for academic success and strengthens bonds with caregivers

Reading Books
By Vivian G. Gouled
I like to read all kinds of books
To entertain myself,
And so I’m glad when I can take
A book down from the shelf.
I like the picture books of planes,
Of flowers, birds, and ships
From which I can imagine that
I’m taking wonder trips.
I like the books with stories in
And also books of rhymes;
I often try to learn a few
And say them lots of times.
I like to read all kinds of books
I find upon the shelf –
Particularly now that I
Can read all by myself!

The Reading Mother
By Strickland Gillilan
I had a mother who read to me
Sagas of pirates who scoured the sea,
Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth,
“Blackbirds” stowed in the hold beneath.
I had a Mother who read me lays
Of ancient and gallant and golden days;
Stories of Marmion and Ivanhoe,
Which every boy has a right to know.
I had a Mother who read me tales
Of Gelert the hound of the hills of Wales,
True to his trust till his tragic death,
Faithfulness blent with his final breath.
I had a Mother who read me the things
That wholesome life to the boy heart brings –
Stories that stir with an upward touch,
Oh, that each mother of boys were such!
You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be –
I had a Mother who read to me.
