Angry residents are sleeping in a historic, 1950s art deco bus shelter to stop it being demolished.

Campaigners have been camping out day and night to save it.

It is thought to be just one of four of its kind left.

But authorities say it no longer meets modern accessibility standards and is unsafe.

It was scheduled for demolition on Monday, (1 Dec) but was saved by the campaigners.

A group has been formed to keep a round-the-clock watch on it in Sheringham, Norfolk.

It features a mural of a steam engine travelling through fields of poppies – a tribute to the town’s railway heritage.

Norfolk County Council has ordered the structure to be removed to make way for what it describes as a new travel hub.

But protestors have vowed to save it.

“We are still here at the shelter,” a spokesperson for the Save Sheringham’s Historic Bus Shelter group told, Need To Know on Wednesday.

“We are camping out here.

“The demolition team was trying to take it down Monday evening.

“It’s only our 24-hour presence here that has so far prevented them.

“We believe it’s one of just four art deco shelters left in the country.

“We have hope we can save it otherwise we wouldn’t be here.

“We just want Norfolk County Council to hear us.

“It’s just the demolition of our lovely bus stop which we are opposing.

“Not other schemes.

“We are a community.

“We have just given the people of Sheringham a platform to voice their concerns.”

A Norfolk County Council, NCC, spokesperson said: “An application made to list the shelter was rejected by Historic England and we are continuing with our work programme to carry out improvements in the area.

“The scheme is already under construction and is fully supported by bus operators, the North Norfolk Railway and other key local stakeholders.

“The scheme went through a full public consultation, which shaped the final bespoke design of the replacement ‘steel and glass’ shelter; modified to stay in keeping with the heritage of the area.”

But Norfolk County Councillor Liz Withington supported the protest.

She said: “I share the concerns of Sheringham residents about the scheme and made my reservations clear during the consultation process, as did my fellow Sheringham Councillors.”

Steffan Aquarone, the Liberal Democrat MP for North Norfolk, backed the campaign, adding: “Norfolk County Council has got to engage with proper discussion with the community before these plans are finalised, let alone builders turning up to start to make it happen.

“I don’t think this needs to be a stand off, I think there is a solution that can please everybody.”
