How Hill , externalnear Ludham in Norfolk will be asking for donations after its core work as a residential nature studies centre for schools has dried up for the summer.

Director Simon Partridge said people were already starting to park in the narrow local lanes as they sought new locations for their daily walks – so it made sense to reopen the centre’s car park to ease congestion and help the public explore the gardens.

It has been a study centre since 1968, and hosting some 3,000 children on residential and day trips each year.

Golfers will be rejoicing today after lockdown restrictions were loosened, making it possible for them to enjoy a round once more, albeit with some restrictions.

Some say golf is "a good walk spoiled", and many would agree.

Over the past few weeks, golfers' loss has been walkers' gain, with many clubs turning their courses over to local people for them to exercise on.

That's come to an end at Eaton Golf Club in Norwich, which posted this notice informing neighbours that access was being withdrawn.

"We would like to thank you for looking after our course so well in the lockdown period and hope that you have enjoyed it as much as we do," it reads.

Norwich say relegation from the Premier League should be scrapped if the top flight completes its season but the Championship does not.

A consultant virologist and Cambridge University lecturer says the reintroduction of some children into schools is a "sensible" approach.

Dr Chris Smith, a BBC radio representer on the Naked Scientists show, said it would see children "benefit enormously from the socialistation".

The government has announced plans that would see some reception, year one and year six pupils return to school from June.

Dr Smith, who lives in Essex, said: "I think it's a very sensible approach. It's a staged approach."

Tackling will be banned, pitches disinfected and players restricted to groups of five when the Premier League starts a first phase of team training.

Official protocols sent to players and managers on Tuesday and obtained by the BBC reveal that social distancing must be "strictly observed".

The BBC understands the Professional Footballers' Association has heard from a number of players, including those who have underlying health conditions like asthma or who are from black and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, that they have real concerns about returning to playing.

According to the Office for National Statistics, BAME people are twice as likely to die from Covid-19 as white people, and a group of public figures and the Labour Party have both called for a public inquiry to find out why.

Some buskers in Norwich say they have found new ways to play their music and earn money.

The judge praises the victim's "inner strength" in reporting the crimes which happened in January.

The co-owner of a popular Norwich city centre fish and chip shop, which had to close due to the coronavirus lockdown, has said he has been inundated since re-opening for deliveries yesterday.

By mid-afternoon on Monday, the Grosvenor Fish Bar on Pottergate had taken 400 orders in about five hours, and had to stop taking any more.

Duane Dibartolomeo (pictured below), co-owner, said: "After six weeks of being bored - well, we steam-cleaned the place and things like that - it's been an amazing few days.

"It was a lot of fun getting back into it. Athough with doing deliveries for the first time it has been a steep learning curve.

"We had to stop at 16:00 because we'd had so many people ordering food."

A glimpse back at bygone times has been revealed by a museum in Norfolk - a fitting tribute on International Nurses' Day.

Norwich Castle has tweeted photos of a uniform worn on the wards at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital in the early 1900s.

Its then-owner Alice Ottaway joined the procession at the funeral of Edith Cavell - the British nurse who worked with prisoners of war in World War One and was executed by the Germans.

Regional lines will remain as they are, but the hourly Norwich to Cambridge service will now run as a direct through service to Stansted Airport again.

The Norwich-London intercity service, will continue to run once an hour, but during peak periods will not call at Colchester or Chelmsford as it runs non-stop between Manningtree and Stratford.

Passengers at Colchester will be served by three trains per hour and at Chelmsford by four trains per hour on the Great Eastern Main Line.

Jamie Burles, Greater Anglia managing director, said: "Government advice is still to avoid public transport, so please only travel with us if your journey is absolutely essential.

"We have marked up our trains and stations to help customers to socially distance."

An expert in infectious diseases has backed government guidelines that facemasks should be worn on public transport and in shops, when social distancing is not always possible, to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Prof Paul Hunter, from the University of East Anglia, said the evidence was still "quite murky", but safety should come first.

Prof Hunter was concerned people wearing facemasks might stop thinking about social distancing and that could make matters worse.

"But if people stick to the rules on those occasions when they can't avoid being out in public and wear them [facemasks] then that is certainly appropriate," he said.

An airport boss has written to the Prime Minister to warn that the potential move to quarantine passengers returning to the UK could deal a "devastating blow" to their business.

Andrew Bell, chief executive of Regional & City Airports, called on the government to ensure it takes "appropriate safeguards around time-limiting the measures and supporting businesses affected during quarantine".

The operator runs three airports in Norwich (pictured), Bournemouth and Exeter. In a letter seen by the BBC, Mr Bell said "blanket, open-ended" restrictions could damage the airports, on which 3,000 people's jobs rely.

Before Covid 19, up to 2.4m passengers travelled through its airports every year, the chief executive said.

Mr Bell appealed for a "clear exit strategy" to be published in due time as a "protracted period of zero, or near zero passengers, is simply unsustainable".
