We've had the following statement from the University of East Anglia over its plans to move academics from their offices in the Climatic Research Unit.

Prof Jacqueline Collier said: "The University of East Anglia’s ongoing success in world-leading research and excellent teaching has led to increased numbers of staff and students being recruited.

"In the longer term we will be building new teaching and research facilities to accommodate that growth, but in the meantime we are needing to reallocate and make more efficient use of existing space for the shorter-term.

"This involves changes of office space for a number of our professional services, researchers and academic staff.

"We understand the potential disruption of office moves, particularly for research colleagues, and we are working with all our staff to enable us to maintain and develop further productive research and teaching environments."

Opponents said building on the land off Harvey Lane is dangerous because there won't be a proper path to the village school.

South Norfolk councillors, external  today voted to let the scheme go ahead.

We've been looking at the story of how a family were evicted from their Gorleston home after getting behind with their rent payments following a switch in their benefit payments.

Great Yarmouth Borough councillor, external  Michael Jeal, who is helping Mitchell and Danielle Massen, called the decision to evict them "appalling".

The council has since pledged not to to evict its tenants over delays in Universal Credit payments. 

It said it would not comment on individual cases, but in a statement said: "It is important and fair that all council tenants pay their rent in a timely manner and those in arrears continue communicating with the council in respect of their financial situation and their efforts to settle what they owe. 

"Ending a tenancy by seeking an eviction warrant is always a last resort and the decision is made after due consideration of the facts in each case. 

"However, it is the only option left in those unusual circumstances when a tenant in arrears stops engaging with the council or continues to breach a possession order." 

A Great Yarmouth councillor has called the decision to make a family homeless after falling behind with their rent after a change in their benefits "appalling".

As we told you earlier, Mitchell and Danielle Massen, who have five children, were evicted from their Gorleston home after a delay in their benefit payments when they switched to Universal Credit, external .

Mrs Massen said Great Yarmouth Borough Council, external "told me as long as I kept in touch with them and let them know what’s going on there shouldn’t be a problem - which I did".

"I got the eviction letter and they told me I had to pay £1,000-and something by the Tuesday."

Labour councillor Michael Jeal, who is supporting the couple, said he "couldn’t believe what they were telling me" when he first spoke to them.

"One of their documents shows they were paying their rent up to the day they went to Universal Credit - 13 weeks later they evicted them. It’s appalling," he said.

In January, the council pledged not to evict any of its tenants in rent arrears over delays in the single-payment benefit, but the Massens were evicted beforehand.

A Norfolk family have told how they were evicted from their home because of rent arrears after a delay in their benefits.

Mitchell and Danielle Massen got into debt with  Great Yarmouth Borough Council, external  following a hold-up in their Universal Credits, after they were told to switch benefits.

The couple and their children were evicted from their Gorleston home in October but have now been taken in by a relative in Acle after living in chalets, bed and breakfasts and even their car. 

Mrs Massen said: "It was horrible not knowing from one day to the next where we were going to be living or what to do, where we are going to get food from. 

"Now we are here, things are looking a bit better for us but we need somewhere - our own place to live."

The family have been told by the council that it could be up to two years before they get their own home again.

The Norwich-based insurance firm Aviva, external says it's set to lose £385m because of a change to the way personal injury claims are calculated.

The Lord Chancellor and South-West Norfolk MP Liz Truss surprised the insurance market on Monday by putting forward changes to what's called the Discount Rate calculation.

It's expected to increase payments given to victims of life-changing injuries through medical negligence, car crashes and other incidents. 

It's said the rate will reflect the reduced amount the victim would receive if they invested the cash, because of a drop in interest rates. 

Shares in Aviva fell sharply after the announcement and the firm now says its profits after tax will fall by £385m for 2016. 

The  Association of British Insurers, external  has described the decision to change the way personal injury claims are calculated as "crazy".

Several bus companies have tweeted to say their services will be disrupted by the closure of Bracondale in Norwich today. It's one of the main routes in and and out of the city.

As we've previously reported, a proposal to build 22 homes in Dickleburgh is being considered today.

The parish council says it wants new houses to be built in the village, but a proper pavement needs to be built along Harvey Lane instead of just a proposed white line for a stretch of the road. 

Parish council chairman Terence Blacker said: "It’s a narrow, quite busy country road and the plan is to put a metre-wide pedestrian zone on the road so parents taking their children to school would be walking into the traffic around a blind corner – it’s reckless."

In a statement, developer Hopkins Homes, external said improvements would include "widening the road, creating a new footpath over half the length of the road and defining pedestrian margins and installing new road signage to improve the safety of pedestrians".

Hannah Witheridge, 23, of Hemsby, and her friend David Miller, 24, of Jersey were killed while backpacking in the country in 2014. 

Their bodies were discovered on a beach in Koh Tao.

The conviction of Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo in December 2015 was controversial due to concerns over the muddled investigation and discrepancies in DNA evidence.

Lawyers for the Burmese men now have 30 days to appeal to Thailand's Supreme Court.

The Burmese men were sentenced to death for murdering two British backpackers in Thailand in 2014.

A controversial planning application is being considered by South Norfolk councillors, external for the second time today.

Opponents say building homes on the land off Harvey Lane in Dickleburgh is dangerous because there won't be a proper path to the village school. 

Developer Hopkins Homes, external says its plan will make a dangerous situation better, but mother-of-three and local resident Alex Blanshard disagrees with a proposal to paint a white line on a stretch of the road to mark it off for pedestrians.

She said: "It’s utter madness, it’s extremely narrow - visibility is really poor - a car driving up there cannot see because of the really high hedgerows and the sharp bend. 

"A white line painted on the road will offer no protection whatsoever."

Norwich City boss Alex Neil is one of the bookies' favourites to become the new Rangers boss.
