A pensioner says she must make a 14-mile round bus trip to the shops - because she cannot cross the road to the post office opposite her home.
Nancy Underwood, 85, who is partly deaf, cannot make it over the bustling A35 road in Dorset quickly enough to beat the traffic.
Instead she takes the bus from Chideock to nearby Bridport before heading back to her house via Charmouth.
She wants the authorities to place a pedestrian crossing in the village.
Coming back from Bridport, the bus actually passes through Chideock but because Ms Underwood would end up on the wrong side of the road if she got off, she has to continue for another four miles (6.5km) down the road.
In Charmouth the road is quieter and she feels safe to cross it in order to make the return journey to Chideock.
