The milestone redevelopment of Great Yarmouth s Market Place is at long last under way - with part of the car park now blocked off to facilitate the first phase of the move.
Great Yarmouth Borough Council s £4.6m investment will see existing market stalls moved north into new units.
According to the council, these will sit under an architecturally-striking wooden canopy which lends itself to a brighter, more inviting environment.

A community leader involved with numerous causes and groups across Long Beach, Bixby was, perhaps, most memorably known as a cycling advocate involved in everything from creating the city’s Bicycle Master Plan, helping start the Long Beach Bike Festival, and championing the city’s national reputation as a bike-friendly city.

Prolific paedophile jailed for offences on young teenage boys in East Lancashire
A PROLIFIC paedophile conducted a string of sickening offences on teenage boys as young as 10.

The offences were all committed in the Rossendale area between 1993 and 2005 when the boys were aged between 10-16 years. On Tuesday, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

At the time he appeared at Preston Crown Court where he was given the sentence in relation to crimes against two children which took place over several years on Longridge, Kirkham and Wesham.
