A road closure is planned for sewage works at a new school in a village near the Norfolk Broads.
Blofield Primary School will be connected into the existing foul sewage network in the Norfolk County Council five-day project starting on April 2.
Plantation Road in Blofield will close for the duration of the works which follow after the new £12m primary school was built to cope with an influx of pupils from new homes in the area.

The 420-place primary school in Blofield, which will replace the village's existing school, was granted planning permission by the council in July 2023.
Council education officers said the new building was needed after the current school was already oversubscribed, while more than 400 homes were due to be built in Blofield over the next decade.
The new building will be built around 250m away from the current school site and will include 14 classrooms and group rooms, along with a central library and multi-purpose hall.
The council had received 29 objections from the public following news of the development, with many concerned over safety implications of a new pedestrian route from Farman Way which has since been scrapped.

A signed diversion route with access to Blofield Doctor's Surgery will be in place to redirect users around the works.
Access to properties will be maintained and pedestrian access through the work will also be available.
