It has been suggested that a bus shelter be provided at the bus stop in the Lower High Street outside the Methodist Church.

However Steyning Parish Council has decided not to provide a bus shelter at this point, without consulting bus users as to whether there is any support for a shelter. This is surprising at a time when people should be encouraged to use public transport. Clearly sitting down in a bus shelter has considerable advantage over standing and waiting in the rain!

Since it appears impossible to provide a bus shelter for Shoreham bound passengers in the High Street, a short walk to a bus shelter in the Lower High Street would provide an attractive alternative, out of the rain, for those who have to wait a while.
