Locals have been braving the winter cold and sleeping in the bus shelter overnight since Monday to stop the structure being demolished.

Norfolk County Council wants to knock down the 1950s brick shelter, outside the North Norfolk Railway Station, and replace it with a modern glass and steel 'hub'.

Protestors - many of retirement age - have been chanting 'We Shannock be moved', in reference to the traditional name for those from the town.

The protests have been peaceful and good-natured, although police were called at one moment on Wednesday morning when contractors accused the protestors of damaging the fencing surrounding the bus shelter.

The officers spoke to the protestors, took no action and left the scene.

Locals have objected to the plans to replace the beloved shelter featuring a mural from local artist Colin Seal for several weeks.

The impromptu protest began when the workmen were spotted arriving at the scene on Monday afternoon.

Since then, protestors have camped out all day and all night in shifts in front of the shelter to foil the council's plans of demolishing the structure.

On Wednesday, some protestors moved inside the shelter to continue their protest.........
