Village road safety project opens

A £300,000 bridge and road safety scheme in a Norfolk village is to be officially opened on Tuesday.

The road improvements at Hemsby, near Great Yarmouth, were introduced after a number of people were injured in accidents while crossing the road.

Norfolk County Council also removed an 85-year-old bridge which ran over an old railway line that is no longer in use.

Additional safety measures include a new mini-roundabout and zebra crossing.
