The A12 south of Great Yarmouth has been re-numbered and now becomes an extra section of the A47 creating a continuous trunk road from Peterborough to Lowestoft. 

Highways England said the change is part of the government's road investment strategy up to 2020.

Aran Nugent, from Highways England, external, said: "The A12 is also now a continuous trunk road from Ipswich into London, with the A47 a continuous trunk road from Peterborough to Lowestoft. 

"We do not anticipate this will create any additional traffic or direct any extra drivers onto this road. 

"The costs of the work have been minimised as most signs will have patches stuck on. 

"Those signs being replaced were at their end of their lifespan and would have had to be replaced soon anyway."

Since an incident where a student apparently set fire to a £20 note in front of a homeless man, Pembroke College, where the student attended, has "restricted comments" on its official Facebook page.

The move was "to allow a period of calm reflection about an incident by a student which has caused distress and outrage to many people", it wrote.

"We expect our students to treat others with respect, courtesy and consideration at all times, and take allegations of unacceptable behaviour very seriously.

"However, social media is not the most suitable media for every type of discussion," the college added.

Images from a video showing the alleged note burning incident were first published by student website, The Tab.

A disciplinary process was under way, the university confirmed.

Staff from the European Union who work at Addenbrooke's Hospital have been talking about their fears over Brexit to one of the region's MEPs. 

They told Vicky Ford about a variety of concerns ranging from whether they'd still be able to work in the UK, the future status of themselves and their families and whether they'll still be able to access public services.

A few said they also noticed a rise in racism and anger towards them following the Brexit vote.

Addenbrooke's is one of Cambridge's largest employers. Thirteen per cent of its staff are non UK nationals from the EU.

Dr Mike More, chair of Cambridge University Hospitals - the trust that looks after the hospital - said: "Addenbrooke's is an international family, we want to provide as much assurance and support as possible."

A lot of staff spoke about the anxiety and frustration of not knowing what will happen after Brexit. Some were concerned about their pensions and if the qualifications they had received here would be recognised in other countries. 

One member of staff was worried that if she returned to Sweden she wouldn't know enough Swedish medical terms. 

The comments were gathered by Ms Ford, who will feed them into the government's Brexit negotiations.

She told the meeting: "Do not underestimate the importance of Cambridge in this process."

A Cambridge University student who apparently set fire to a £20 note in front of a homeless man could face disciplinary action.

The student, understood to be Ronald Coyne from Pembroke College, was filmed in Cambridge on 2 February.

As The Tab student website reported, Mr Coyne, a member of the university's Conservative Association, has been expelled from the group.

The alleged incident has been referred to the university's disciplinary process.

In a statement, a spokeswoman said the university was "aware of an incident" but could not comment further while the disciplinary process was under way.

Images from a video taken in the early hours of last Thursday were sent to The Tab.

The website said the film showed Mr Coyne dressed in white tie and tails attempting to set fire to a £20 note, before the camera panned to a nearby homeless man near a shop.

Mr Coyne was the communications officer for Cambridge University Conservative Association (CUCA). He has since been dismissed.

A statement posted on the group's website said the "committee was made aware of the private behaviour of an individual member which we considered to be abhorrent and repugnant".

"We took immediate action to revoke his membership and expelled him from the association," it said.

His actions were not representative of the group, it said.

Cambridgeshire Police said it had not received any reports or complaints. The force said it was illegal to deface a bank note, but was not a crime to burn one.

It's more than four months since police revealed that RAF Honington serviceman Corrie Mckeague had not been seen since the early hours of Saturday, 24 September, during a night out in Bury St Edmunds.

• On 4 October, a bin lorry, seized by detectives searching for Mr Mckeague, was released, after it was found not to contain his lost phone

• A month later, Corrie Mckeague's uncle, Tony Wringe, criticised police for not searching a landfill site at Barton Mills near Mildenhall, where Mr Mckeague's phone signal was traced
• Later that month, CCTV footage of people yet to be identified from the night Corrie Mckeague disappeared, was shown at a police pod at the annual Christmas Fair in Bury St Edmunds
• At the end of December, it was revealed that more than £51,000 had been raised to fund a private investigator, named as McKenzie Intelligence Services
• On 9 January, Mr Mckeague's girlfriend, April Oliver (pictured below), said she is expecting their baby

• On 10 February, police reveal that an extensive search is to be carried out of the landfill site at Milton near Cambridge (pictured below)

A full search of the landfill site at Milton, for missing RAF serviceman Corrie Mckeague, is likely to commence around Wednesday, 22 February once initial work, already under way, has been completed.

The preparation will include building access ways to the area to be searched, carrying out scoping work, and putting appropriate facilities on the site to allow this search to be carried out in a thorough and comprehensive way. 

Det Supt Katie Elliott said: "There are some measures that we need to put in place before the full search work starts as, in addition to the pressing need to find Corrie, we also have to consider local residents, site workers and the officers who will be carrying out the job of going through the waste. 

"We know that physically searching the site has the potential to cause an increase in odour and we hope residents will understand that we and the site owners have taken this into consideration when making a decision to go ahead with the search.

"We need to find him and discover what happened to him. 

"While the search may not provide the answers as to what happened it is something we need to do as our investigation continues."  

Mr Mckeague was stationed at RAF Honington, north of Bury St Edmunds.

Police say the search of the landfill site at Milton, on the other side of the A14 north of Cambridge, will be a "considerable task".

The area identified is more than 920 sq m (1,100 sq yds) of waste, down to a maximum depth of eight metres (26ft) and it is estimated that it is likely to take a team of specialist search-trained officers six to ten weeks to complete the work.

The safety and welfare of the officers who will undertake the search, and the noise and odour implications for local residents, have all been factors that police have to take into consideration.

The area on the landfill site, where waste collected from Bury St Edmunds on the morning of 24 September was deposited, has not had further items put onto it since police alerted the site, early in the investigation, to the possibility that this may need to be searched.
