Hunstanton town hall repairs can t wait , meeting warned
| Updated: 07:33, 11 March 2021
Repairs to Hunstantonâs town hall, which could cost tens of thousands of pounds to complete, âcanât waitâ, councillors have been warned.
A fund of up to £30,000 is to be set aside for the work, after the plan was given unanimous support during a special town council meeting on Monday.
The meeting was called even though the authorityâs committees were due to sit as normal this week.

But the townâs mayor, Tony Bishopp, said the matter was too urgent to wait either for those sessions or the next scheduled full council meeting on March 24.

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.

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.
Progress, but no guarantees , says Hunstanton Town Council over car park flats proposal Published: 07:00, 04 February 2021
Community leaders in Hunstanton have welcomed moves to address concerns over a contentious housing scheme â but warned they canât guarantee backing it when revised plans are submitted.
Proposals by West Norfolk Council to build more than 30 flats on part of the Southend Road car park were rejected by its own planning committee in December.
And one of the key sticking points was the anticipated loss of 100 public car parking spaces from the site to make way for the development.
Reduced capacity in Hunstanton s Southend Road car park is a key concern relating to a proposed apartment development.
