1. 'Unfortunate' that speed camera was out of actionpublished at 11:04 British Summer Time 30 August 2016

    More than 50 motorists a month were caught by a speed camera in Great Yarmouth since it was installed in December, but none since June after the device was put out of action following road resurfacing work.

    Sensor strips on Caister Road trigger the Truvelo camera to take a picture when wheels go over over them too quickly, but they'd been covered up when the road was relaid.

    Anne Pointon, from the Norfolk and Suffolk Camera Partnership, external said it was unfortunate: "Norfolk County Council tend to tell us in advance of resurfacing work... but on this occasional it didn't happen."

    She tells me that it wouldn't have had a huge impact as "the majority of motorists didn't know it was out of action", adding that they will tell the public if a camera is going to be down for sometime.

    The strips were put back into the road last week, and the camera is now back and operational.

  4. Speed camera out of action for two monthspublished at 10:15 British Summer Time 30 August 2016

    The BBC has learnt that a safety camera in Great Yarmouth hasn't caught any speeding motorists since the middle of June, because road resurfacing meant it couldn't work.

    The speed camera on Caister Road

    The camera, on Caister Road, should take pictures of a vehicle when the wheels go over sensor strips on the road, sending the data to the enforcement team at Norfolk Safety Camera partnership.

    When the road was relaid, the strips in the tarmac were covered up.

    Last week, they were put back into the road - and the camera is now operational.

    A public spaces protection order, external means police, PCSOs and traffic wardens could issue £80 spot-fines to anyone behaving in an anti-social manner.

    Drivers of large vehicles will still have problems using a railway bridge in Norwich, according to a local councillor.

    Network Rail has been installing a new flat under-sided bridge on Long John Hill in Lakenham. 

    Every time the old arched Victorian bridge got hit by lorries it closed the Norwich to London rail line.

    But South Norfolk Council, external member for Stoke Holy Cross, Trevor Lewis, believes the new bridge isn't much higher than the original and it'll probably be too low for HGV drivers.

    They've replaced like with like... I'd asked the highway authorities if they could dig down into the road to give greater height clearance but I was told "no" because there were services underneath."

    New legal powers could be brought in to cut anti-social and dangerous behaviour by some motorists on Great Yarmouth's seafront.

    Car enthusiasts generally gather on Sunday evenings around the Pleasure Beach, and police say a minority of them drive in an illegal or anti-social way, with some threatening or intimidating local residents who challenge them.

    A consultation has begun to give police officers, police and community support officers and council parking wardens more powers, meaning the motorists could face on-the-spot fines in the future.
