The top of Bramford Road, Ipswich, will be closed at its junction with Norwich Road this evening in both directions for motorists and pedestrians, because of concerns over the safety of one of the adjacent buildings.

Access to Benezet Street from Norwich Road will continue, and diversion routes will be in place.

The building, the former Rose & Crown pub, has been undergoing restoration work but the borough council, after taking advice from the Health & Safety Executive and independent structural engineers and scaffolding consultants, has concluded it is now structurally unsound.

Council chief executive Russell Williams said: "We have closed the road because public safety is our foremost concern."

He said the road would be reopened as soon as possible.

The chief constable of Norfolk has been speaking of his pride in the way PCSOs have received the news their jobs are to go.

"They have applied for posts in the control room, in our early help hubs, external, and I genuinely hope I'm able to redeploy the vast majority."

Police say they were called at about 12:25 to reports of the single vehicle collision.

The 22-year-old, who has won both of his pro bouts so far, is up against the Bulgarian Mladen Manev in Norwich.

Wardley's been telling me how he's in the best shape he's ever been in, and that his preparations have improved with experience.

"We've done this a few times now so we know what we are doing, in terms of the camp and how we allocate our time; when to train a bit harder and when to rest up.

"Everything's run a lot more smoothly and I've got a good team around me that knows their stuff.

"For this camp and future camps I've got a personal trainer now who does my strength stuff and conditioning work. Everything's coming together nicely."

Up to 1,000 people are facing job uncertainty after a string of announcements by big businesses to pull out of the county.

Over the past five weeks, doubts have emerged over the future of Unilever and Britvic in Norwich, potential job cuts at BAE Systems at RAF Marham, and at the Construction Industry Training Board in west Norfolk.

Norfolk County Council leader Cliff Jordan said it was important the county shed its old-fashioned image: "We're open for business; we're up for bringing people here, that's 'normal for Norfolk'.

"Being reclusive - that's all in the past. Normal now means forward-thinking."
