The Next Street - Stratford Driving School

Negative experience: Absolute circus being ran here!! These people do not inform you of vital information that is needed, until it’s too late! They make everything so difficult and highly frustrating! To avoid the confusion and frustration and lack of all information needed at the precise time, I would recommend taking your business elsewhere , so you can at least have a chance at getting everything right the first time, if there was a spot for 0 stars that’s what they would get!
