The footpath at Acle Bridge (Fleggburgh FP17), which was closed for some time, is now open again. There is a very slight temporary diversion while the surface is being re-seeded but this will allow users of the Weaver’s way to continue on their route.

Covid-19 advice
Local health leaders urge people to keep up the fight against coronavirus by staying at home.
The NHS in Norfolk and Waveney is encouraging local people to keep up the fight against coronavirus (Covid-19) by following the latest Government advice and staying at home.
A new Government campaign launched this week called Stay Home, Save Lives which reinforces the single most important action we can now all take, in fighting coronavirus – is to stay at home in order to protect the NHS and save lives.
Dr Anoop Dhesi, a GP at Stalham and Chair of NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “We’re asking everyone to help save lives, by staying at home because anyone can spread coronavirus.
“Only leave your home to shop for basic necessities, to pick up medicine or to provide care to those who need it or to exercise once a day, alone or with members of your household.
“Only travel to work when you absolutely cannot work from home.
“If you have to go out for any of these reasons always stay two metres apart.
“Do not meet others outside your household; even friends and family. The message is simple stay home. Protect the NHS. Save lives.”
It comes as letters are sent to vulnerable patients urging them to shield themselves from the virus by staying at home and avoiding face-to-face contact for the next 12 weeks.
The letters provide information about accessing health and social care during this time and extra support available for them, their families and carers.
All those who receive a letter are encouraged to register now by going to www.gov.uk/coronavirus-extremely-vulnerable or call 0800 028 8327, the Government’s dedicated helpline.
