Norfolk county council wants to demolish a ‘beloved’ 1950s bus shelter in Sheringham, but campaigners are staging a 24/7 sit-in

It was about 4am on Monday, under the cover of darkness, when protesters camping at their town’s 1950s bus shelter were woken by the arrival of bailiffs. Days earlier, the council had served an eviction notice to those fighting to save the shelter, claiming their occupation was illegal.

This marked the latest escalation after a week-long sit-in at the Sheringham bus shelter on Station Approach near the heritage railway station, after the council announced its decision to demolish and replace the site due to accessibility and safety concerns.
