A road which was the scene of a dramatic Christmas Eve rescue could be closed for nearly a year after flooding problems.
Green Lane in Thorpe End currently has about 4ft deep water and Norfolk County Council has given approval for it to be closed from February 10 until January 2022.
This does not mean the road will necessarily remain closed for all that time but will allow engineers to work safely.
