Storm victim gives up the fight to stay in temporary homepublished at 12:25 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January 2017

BBC Local LiveA woman who faced eviction from her mobile home says she's feels she no longer has any choice but to move from her land.
Bryony Nierop-Reading lost her bungalow to the sea in Happisburgh during the tidal surge of 2013. Since then, she's been living in a caravan in a nearby field, but had been embroiled in a planning wrangle with North Norfolk District Council, external as she didn't have planning permission to have a caravan there.
A short while ago Bryony told me that she's given up the battle. Her furniture and personal possessions are packed up, and ready to be moved into a container provided by the council.
The container, which she says is close to the cliff edge, will need to be moved, following further damage to the coast in the recent storm surge.
She said: "It's dangerous... I can't put anything heavy in it."
The container will remain on her land for the next four months, by which time she hopes to have found a permanent home in the area.
Bryony says she's very unhappy at having to evict her daughter and son-in-law from a cottage she owns in nearby Witton Heath, in order to put it on the market so that she'll be able to buy somewhere to live.
In the meantime, she'll be living in a motor home that she's recently bought, and plans on touring areas of England that have been affected by coastal erosion.

Minister's visit favours Norwich over Cambridgepublished at 11:27 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January 2017
Andrew Sinclair
BBC Look East political correspondentThe science minister has been in Norwich this morning to help launch the government's new industrial strategy.
Jo Johnson visited the John Innes Centre on the Norwich Research Park where he opened a new building where scientists are, among other things, working on vaccines.
The government is keen to encourage science and technology as part of its post-Brexit industrial strategy. It's promising to offer a range of support, from the creation of new institutions to addressing regulatory barriers to innovation and growth.
It's also interesting that the science minister has chosen to come to Norwich rather than Cambridge to launch this strategy.
It's a sign of the growing importance of Norwich to the sector.

Norwich boss says Wolves keeper's dismissal was deservedpublished at 09:42 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January 2017
Jay Lawrence
BBC Radio NorfolkNorwich City manager Alex Neil has called Carl Ikeme "unprofessional" after the Wolves goalkeeper fouled Wes Hoolahan.
The Ireland international had won a penalty for the Canaries in their 3-1 win against the Midlands side on Saturday, but Ikeme (pictured) was so outraged by the decision that he pushed Hoolahan in the chest.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Nigerian, who was subsequently sent off, has since called out Hoolahan for diving via Twitter.
"I don't think the goalkeeper should have responded in the manner that he did and he deservedly got a red card," said Neil.
"Wes got the penalty and he just turned around to carry on with the game. It was unprofessional from the goalie and he got his punishment."

"Jonny Howson and Alex Tettey were excellent, the front four had a real impact in the game, and the two centre backs were totally dominant.
"If we combine all that, we're more than a match for anyone"

End of twitter postOpportunities missed to protect victims from scammerspublished at 08:23 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January 2017
Chances to protect vulnerable victims of scam mail in Norfolk are being missed because of staff reductions at the county council-run trading standards department.

But less than 10% have been seen face-to-face.
Norfolk Trading Standards says all priority cases were contacted by post or telephone.
