Student 'banksy' invents solution to bus stop seating shortage
Ever despaired at the lack of warm, comfortable seats at the bus stop?
Student Dan Jackson may have come up with the answer - this portable wooden seat, dubbed a bush seat, which clips easily onto a nearby fence.
The Kingston design student put the seat into action at a bus stop in Fairfield South - only for it to be removed three days later, he claimed by a Kingston Council jobsworth.
Friend Damian Harniess said: "Young Samaritans like Dan Jackson should be encouraged and Kingston should be proud it has such a budding young designer at its university."
Mr Jackson has also created a 'sock horn' to help pensioners put their socks on.
