Norfolk County Council bosses acknowledged the works will be "very inconvenient" for those living in the 28 homes and 17 businesses which will be affected when the roundabout closes.

David Allfrey, interim director of highways, transport and waste at Norfolk County Council, said: "A full closure of the roundabout is essential for the remaining construction and resurfacing work to take place as quickly and safely as possible."
