    We're spending the day looking at the issues affecting the East of England coast in the wake of the easing of lockdown restrictions.

    We have reporters in Cromer in Norfolk and Clacton-on-Sea in Essex, and will be bringing you news and snapshots from the rest of the coast as well.

    Martin Barber, our reporter in Cromer, said there is a "warmth in the air with a gentle breeze coming off a calm sea".

    If you've got an issue you think should be highlighted, you can email us, or reach us via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
