Your view on city centre street changes

Norwich City Council and Norfolk County Council are planning to make urgent temporary changes to some of the streets in the city centre to create more space so people can move about more safely.

We also recognise that owners of some cafés, restaurants and pubs would like the opportunity to create outdoor seating to help their businesses recover.

Any comments or questions can be emailed to cityhighways@norfolk.gov.uk by Tuesday 23 June. View the plans here.

What’s open in Norwich?

This week non-essential businesses started re-opening. Our colleagues at Visit Norwich have put together a guide for those planning to make a trip into the city including safety guidance and details of the businesses that are open. 

Don’t forget more and more stalls on Norwich Market are opening up, as traders have been working hard to put safety measures in place – we know so many of you have been missing your favourites.
