  1. @BylinesEast That is very bad news! Why are people in #Norfolk so exercised about #immigration, when there are so few #immigrants living in the #county? 93.4% of the Norfolk #population were born in #England, according to the last #census, 1.2% in #Scotland & 0.8% in #Wales (ons.gov.uk/visualisations/cens), so that's 95.4% born in #Britain.

  11. An #arrest for attempt #murder rather than simply causing #injury by dangerous #driving is relatively unusual - and in line with #Norfolk and Suffolk Constabulary's own policies suggests this #collision in #Norwich between a car and cyclist was *deliberate* (at very least there appears to also be #DUI and both #alcohol and #drugs playing a factor)

  16. Further good news of sorts… failed to take control of as projected. They came within 3 seats though.

    But Rupert Lowe’s ultra far right outpost of Great Yarmouth, returned entirely councillors for his Great Yarmouth First Party, so in practice what was a council is now incredibly rightwing. Both the old parties collapsed.

    While I’m encouraged by the wins in , Blofield, Brundall, Diss and Roydon, I am ashamed of Norfolk.

  21. Just reading that #Labour have only held on to one seat in #Norfolk…Hethersett which borders the city. They won it by only 3 votes!

  22. my city has been robbed blind in recent years.

    first, our director of the norfolk redevelopment and housing authority was quietly fired* last October when a public media investigation revealed that he had awarded millions in undisclosed, no-bid contracts to his friends and cronies.

    it was recently discovered that, while still employed, he fired the norfolk redevelopment and housing authority's maintenance staff, leaving the city's public housing complexes in years-long disrepair and forcing the board to allocate $5 million in 'emergency repairs' for a 1950s-era complex, even though it is slated for demolition in 2027.

    finally, a nigerian man named habeeb anibaba pulled off more than 1,000 fraudulent transactions and drained $1.2 million from a city of norfolk bank account between 2019 and 2020 by tricking women on dating sites into wiring 'repayments' through the city's account.

    our roads are never gonna get repaired. 😡

    * in a classic case of 'failing upwards,' he has just been formally appointed as the executive director of the charleston, south carolina housing authority, whose board says it conducted "intensive due diligence" beyond its initial search. good luck, charleston. smh.

    The tidal clock from St Margaret's, KIng's Lynn Minster - never seen one of those before - and then some more empty historic streets.

  25. 3/5 King's Lynn

    Two of the rooms in King's Lynn Town Hall:

    1) the 1768 Georgian Assembly Room

    2) medieval Stone Room (rebuilt 1766)

    Both taken with the crazy wide Laowa 6mm f2 on OM Systems OM1.

  26. Much is being made of the projected implosion of #Labour at the local elections, but in rural counties such as #Norfolk it’s the complete annihilation of the #Tories to #Reform that is going to happen.

    Went up to the coast to Wells-Next-the-Sea today and didn’t see a single Tory sign…just #Reform. There will be no one competent left in the room.

  27. #Reform offers no policies at all…just a massive hint that it will impose austerity on #Norfolk. And yet according to the polls they are favourites here…rural and coastal poverty is about to get a whole lot worse.

    ‘David Bick said his party was making no promises on what it would do in power as it needed to review the council's "huge level of debt", which is about £885m.

    While Reform is not offering a manifesto for Norfolk, he insisted it had good quality candidates.’

  29. 1/5 KIng's Lynn
    I spent a day in King's Lynn last month, This is the Custom House - built by Henry Bell in 1683 as a merchants' exchange. The building was used as a customs house from the 18th century until 1989.
