Man dies after roof plunge
A Norfolk man has died after falling 30 ft through a skylight at a feather company based in Diss.

The man, who has not been named, was found unconscious on a concrete floor on Wednesday.

He was taken by air ambulance to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Health and Safety Executive has been called in to investigate the incident which is not being treated as suspicious by police.


Hospital listening clinics

The chairman of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital is hoping to improve services by listening to the views of patients and staff.

David Prior is launching fortnightly clinics in Norwich and Cromer for people to come and tell him what they think.

The first one is due to take place at Cromer Hospital on Wednesday.


Speed cameras cut casualties

Norfolk is to get more speed cameras after national research has proved their effectiveness in cutting road deaths.

Casualties are down to half of what they were before cameras came into operation.

The county is actually ahead of the national figures which are down by a third.

The 19 cameras in Norfolk are likely to be joined by another four over the next year.
