The statement made by Steff Aquarone, the Liberal Democrat MP for North Norfolk, in the House of Commons on 3 December 2025.
That this House notes with grave concern the plans of Norfolk County Council to demolish Sheringham’s historic bus shelter; recognises that the shelter is of Streamline Moderne art-deco design, dating from the 1950s; further notes that it contains a treasured poppy mural painted by a local artist which recognises the historic Midland and Great Northern Railway; is concerned that residents do not feel properly consulted or heard by the County Council; praises and expresses solidarity with the local people who have protested outside and occupied the bus shelter; calls on the County Council to suspend their plans to allow for further constructive discussion with the community; and agrees that Sheringham is a town which is not to be messed with.
