Otterndorf Green Transport Hub

Statement – Transport HUB

Following Sheringham Town Council’s decision not to support the demolition of the bus shelter, Norfolk County Council have now ceased work on Otterndorf Green and their project will not continue. The funding allocated for the Sheringham Travel Hub was specifically intended for improvements to public transport infrastructure and this included the widening of the pavement at the bus stop. The retention of the shelter means this is no longer achievable.

The remainder of the scheme was for public realm improvements tied in with the Travel Hub, and that alone does not qualify for the funding.

In terms of the bus services, Norfolk County Council and Sanders have confirmed that the Wells and Holt-bound buses will continue to stop at the bus stop opposite Tesco whilst the overall situation is reviewed. Therefore Otterndorf Green is not currently operating as a bus stop.

We will now need to consider how we take this site forward. There is unlikely to be any update until after the Christmas period.
