That's his whole point, though? The lion's share of coasthopper users are blue-rinse locals or well heeled second home owners from London and the shires <grr>
If they were only entitled to free bus travel in the county of their primary home, and had to pay even a concessionary fare when swanning around Norfolk, Kent, Cornwall etc, then local bus companies wouldn't be so dependent on the miserly handouts they get from central and local government.
I use and admire Sanders rural bus network and without their services we'd be reet knackered!

Anglia square could certainly use sprucing up. I don't really buy into this nonsense about the tower being horendous. The reality is that we have more and more people trying to squeeze into every UK city (Unless of course Brexit some how reverses the trend.) To be a modern city some taller buildings are an inevitable, the revised plans are OK in my book, but then I don't live in the fine city any longer.
The reality for me is that any new housing is as a generalisation pretty awful. OK it might be modern and clean, but often the quality is suspect, there is no character or charm and If you aren't after getting tiny rooms and a postage stamp for a garden, you'd better be a millionaire.

Bah!

Well said Cromer and I think that's a great idea of only being allowed to use it in their 'home county', otherwise pay a concessionary fare!!
They do indeed run services to some outlying villages.
