Overview
- Sheringham Town Council, which owns the site, voted to block demolition of the 1950s shelter, stopping Norfolk County Council’s planned travel hub.
- Workers have withdrawn and metal fencing around the shelter has been taken down after the project was paused, with campaigners maintaining a presence.
- Norfolk County Council says the original scheme depended on widening a narrow footpath for pedestrian safety and cannot proceed without that change.
- Officials will review future bus service arrangements at the location and have not ruled out developing an alternative scheme for Sheringham.
- Highways chief Graham Plant signaled he will reallocate the £580,000 to other Norfolk projects if it is not spent in Sheringham by March 26, and the county will not bill the town council for costs already incurred.
