2. Bus shelters are not charged individually for Non-Domestic Rates.  There are two entries held on the Valuation Roll: one for "Bus Shelters" and a second for "Bus Shelters and Poster Panels".  The Assessor is responsible for the maintenance of the roll, so please redirect any further enquiries to them.
