    A councillor hoping for better mobile phone communications in the Blakeney area says she will be lobbying the government to keep funding for the project.

    The company Arqiva was hoping to install a mast on National Trust land but withdrew its plans after objections delayed the process so much that it missed government funding opportunity. 

    Doesn't mean I won't be asking, but it would be a minor miracle for that particular budget to still be sustained."

    Dr Marie Strong, Norfolk county councillor, Wells

    The owner of the Dinosaur Adventure Park in Lenwade has apologised after the Advertising Standards Authority upheld complaints about a bloodied clown featured on posters for its Primeval Halloween attraction. 

    The ASA said the posters, some of which were outside shops near schools, were "irresponsibly targeted".

    As a Halloween attraction we will be devising a poster which we will be putting forward to the ASA before they go out."

    High tides along Norfolk's coastline this morning have passed with no reports of damage.

    In Wells, water lapped gently at the edge of the car park and further down the coast at Hemsby (pictured) the tide didn't even come in as far as the sea defences being put in. 

    The concrete blocks are being paid for by the local community which two years ago lost five homes to the December storm surge.
