  4. Residents fear 'devastating consequences' if Vanguard windfarm is builtpublished at 18:03 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2017

    Residents of three villages in north Norfolk have told district councillors that plans for an offshore windfarm will have devastating consequences.

    Norfolk Vanguard could be built 30 miles (48 km) off the coast.

    Vattenfall, the company behind the scheme, is proposing two substations onshore at East Ruston and Ridlington connected to the turbines by cables running through Happisburgh.

    Beverley Wigg, from No 2 Relay Stations, external, talking on behalf of residents in East Ruston and Ridlngton, said: "The footprint, the size, the height, the noise - we are now in absolutely no doubt that this is going to be catastrophic.

    "The operational side is going to be awful, the traffic is going to be horrendous, but the long-term result is that this part of the region is going to be industrialised and it is a rural area.

    "It's very, very dependent on tourism and farming.

    "The planning blight has started and it will continue, and it will be a shadow hanging over us for years to come."

    Vattenfall, which has a consultation, external running until 11 December, didn't attend the meeting.

  7. Resignation of Norfolk peer raised in Parliamentpublished at 16:59 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2017

    The resignation of Baroness Gillian Shephard, external from the government's Social Mobility Commission, external has been raised in Parliament this afternoon.

    Baroness Shephard of Northwold, who was Conservative MP for South West Norfolk 1987-2005, was one of four members of the commission who resigned over the weekend.

    The former chairman Alan Milburn said the whole board was standing down because the government was not doing enough to tackle poor social mobility.

    In Parliament, the leader of the Liberal Democrats Sir Vince Cable said the resignation of a "highly respected" person showed how serious the concerns of the board must have been.

    Labour's education spokesman Angela Rayner said: "When a former Tory education minister resigns from a commission set up by a Tory government this goes beyond politics."

    The education minister Robert Goodwill said the government is still committed to improving social mobility.

    Baroness Shephard hasn't said why she decided to resign.

    In a statement Baroness Shephard said she was "sad to leave the commission but believe that this... is the right time for me to do so", but she did not elaborate on the reasons for her decision.

  8. Norfolk gritting announcement made in versepublished at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2017

    Norfolk County Council has revealed a budding poet in its midst, by making an announcement about gritting lorries in verse, on its Facebook page, external.

    Gritter at depot

    If the rhyming words are anything to go by though, I don't think Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy has too much to worry about.

    Here's the opus magnum in its entirety:

    I met a woodlouse on the stairI cannot say what it did thereBut, beckoning me closer with spindly leg, it whispered in my ear...

    The gritters will go out at six,But not everywhere, just in the sticksAnd I use 'the sticks' advisedly and largely because it rhymes.

    Let me elaborate; along the east coastTemperatures will drop the mostAnd inland north and inland south, it should reach freezing here.

    So the gritters will rouse their weary bonesAnd go out in these gritting zonesHoping to have finished their routes before nine o' clock chimes.

    The woodlouse sighed as if relievedTo impart the knowledge I had receivedAnd off it scuttled, who knows where, but I doubt not to spread some cheer.
