Police are appealing for witnesses to a fatal collision in Attleborough.

A blue DAF lorry which was travelling along the B1077 hit a pedestrian, in his 80s. He died at the scene.

The incident happened at around 12:00 on Friday, 6 October.

Parents have less than a week to have their say on plans to merge, external two Great Yarmouth High Schools.

This weekend a protest was held over the joint plan for Trafalgar College (pictured) and Great Yarmouth Charter Academy, which hit the headlines last month when it set strict new behaviour policies.

Mike Smith-Clare, a Great Yarmouth county councillor, said: "I cannot see this as being a pure merger, I see it as a school being closed and, if we start considering maybe the amount of money that went into that school in the first place, I have genuine concerns that with that closure that site is not being used to its full potential."

James Goffin, from the Inspiration Trust, which runs both schools, said: "We are very proud of what has been achieved at Trafalgar College but the hard truth is that the pupil population has grown much more slowly than originally predicted and if we didn't make changes we would be heading for around 1300 spare secondary school places in the Great Yarmouth area.

"We think merging with Great Yarmouth Charter Academy and investing in new facilities for an enlarged school there is the best approach to ensure high quality teaching, sports, and cultural experiences for all children in the town."

A cloudy and mild start to the day.

We could see a little bit of rain, particularly towards the Wash.

It'll be light and patchy though, and many places will avoid it altogether.

A brighter afternoon with maybe a glimmer of sunshine. Top temperature about 16C (61F).
