More roadworks have been announced for a town that will see its high street closed for 10 weeks in the new year. 

Work will begin at the junction of Old Market Road with the A149 Yarmouth Road in Stalham on January 3 after it was identified as an accident cluster site. 

The roadworks will be completed in two phases.

The first phase will focus on cutting back the existing hedges on the junction outside Tesco to improve visibility, which is expected to take two days. 

The second phase will take place directly after the completion of the High Street pavement resurfacing and is likely to start on March 18.

This phase will see new kerbing and pavements installed along the A149 near the Tesco junction and shortening of the existing layby to be a bus stop only. 

A temporary bus stop will be provided. 

Both phases of works will require three-way temporary traffic light at the junction but these will be removed between the two phases. 

The work will cost Norfolk County Council £30,000.
