GMB regional organiser Ivan Mercer said: "At a meeting attended by Clive Lewis MP on Friday evening Britvic members reported back their anxieties, anger and disappointment in the decision by Britvic to vacate the Norwich site by the end of 2019.

"Clive has committed to offer every assistance to overturn this proposal by Britvic and has agreed to attend a further strategy meeting on Thursday, 19 October.

"GMB are meeting with Britvic on the 27 October to discuss their proposal and will make a decision on their next steps after this meeting."

Norfolk County Council is being asked to do everything it can to save hundreds of jobs in Norwich.

Earlier this month Britvic announced plans to close its Robinson's drinks plant, and Unilever said it was reviewing its production at the Carrow Works site.

Chris Sargisson, chief executive of Norfolk's Chamber of Commerce, external, says there's no reason the plants should have to close: "Norwich is a very prosperous place, it's a very thriving place.

"It's got some excellent opportunities for all types of business, particularly manufacturing.

"The road networks are improving, the rail networks are improving.

"To lose an organisation as big as Britvic for some of the reasons they've explained just doesn't seem to stack up."

A contract has been awarded to Openwide to manage Cromer Pier for the next 10 years... that's the future, but what about the past?

In 2015 the pier underwent a £2m refurbishment, and last year benefitted from an £8m coastal defence scheme.

The council is planning further work, costing £500,000, which includes:

• Improvements to the theatre roof, ventilation and electrical switchboards
• Work to replace the sewerage system, housing and access gantry between the theatre and RNLI shed
• Replace an area of decking before the forecourt and the front of the booking office and Tides restaurant

Openwide have the contract for Bournemouth Pier, which has a shore zip line allowing you to soar over the sea and down to the beach. So can we expect that in Cromer?

"I think that would be great... we're looking at anything, they're coming up with ideas and we'll work together", said Cllr FitzPatrick.

The new contract to run Cromer Pier - which has been awarded to Openwide - will start on 1 February 2018.

It'll run for a minimum of 10 years, and will cover the 120th anniversary of the award-winning pier in 2021.

Steve Cutbush, managing director of Openwide says they've a number of "really exciting new ideas" to bring more leisure to the pier, and they're not just entertainment-led.

"Long-term it cannot survive on just having a summer and a Christmas show, with a few others peppered in along the way... we'll work with the council to bring in weekend festivals, maybe a street food festival, a seafood festival with local stakeholders involved... we're talking about bringing more leisure to the pier", he explained.

The Grade II listed pier hosts the world's only remaining full season End of the Pier Show, which this year marked its 40th anniversary, which Mr Cutbush described as "a wonderful tradition".

Robert Loombe was fined £300 by magistrates but was not banned from owning animals in the future.
