A road in Norwich will be closed at the start of next week for engineering work. 

Cecil Road, off Hall Road, will be closed on October 28 for five days while a new gas connection is installed.

The work is being carried out by Cadent Gas after it got permission from the Norfolk Highway Authority to attach a new service connection.
