New bus shelter 'not wanted' by Seahouses councillors
The shelter was installed on King Street by Northumberland County Council after a bus stop near the war memorial on Main Street was removed due to parking problems.
North Sunderland Parish Council is now seeking clarification on how the King Street shelter came about after chairman Geoffrey Stewart informed members the parish council would be responsible for its maintenance.
