⚠️ Stand-off in Sheringham: Local campaigners have spent the past three nights camping out overnight in an extraordinary bid to save a humble 1950s bus shelter, thwarting council contractors who arrived at 2am in an attempt to demolish the structure.

Located on Station Approach in Sheringham, starting point of the North Norfolk Steam Railway, the 1950s brick bus shelter is in a modest Streamline Moderne style, with a painted mural of a steam engine going through local poppy fields by artist Colin Seal. The shelter once had metal framed Crittall-style windows, though these were removed at an unknown date.

Norfolk Country Council say it does not meet modern accessibility standards and is unsafe, claims disputed by the campaigners. Following a public consultation earlier in the year, the council pressed ahead with plans for a new ‘travel hub’, relandscaping the area around Station Approach and replacing the historic shelter with a new fully-glazed design.

The protestors occupying the shelter have been deluged with support, receiving food and supplies from local businesses and individuals, while the fairy lights, ribbons and messages of goodwill adorn the shelter.

North Norfolk MP, @Steffanaquarone, has expressed solidarity with the campaigners and tabled an Early Day Motion (EDM) in Parliament, calling on the council to suspend their plans immediately:

“I stand with these protestors 100%. It just goes to show how strong the local feeling is, both about the shelter itself, and about the total failure to be properly heard….the county council needs to learn the lessons of history, that you take on Sheringham residents at your peril”

✊🏼 People power for modern heritage!
