Is council's star attraction a flop? £30k observatory used just 10 times in two years

But a council's £30,000 observatory has not exactly turned out to be a star attraction.

Figures released by West Norfolk Council show the solar-powered facility on the cliffs at Hunstanton has been used just 10 times since it opened - despite being free to hire.

And while delights visible on a clear night include Andromeda, Orion and the North Star, visible by day are the weeds that have sprung up around the site.
