Idiots claim made in new Hunstanton bus shelter debate
| Updated: 08:46, 04 February 2021
West Norfolk Council officials have been accused of treating community representatives in Hunstanton like âidiotsâ in the debate over who should maintain new bus shelters in the town.
A borough proposal for Hunstantonâs town council to take ownership of the new shelters was backed at a special meeting last night.

But further discussions are set to be sought on the detail of the deal after some members claimed the boroughâs proposal to provide a one-off £15,000 payment towards maintenance costs was insufficient.
Although bus stops are meant to be maintained at the lowest level of local government, meaning the town council would be responsible, critics view this proposal as a replacement bus station, which would make the borough liable instead.
