Anglian Water will carry out “vital” repair work, lasting approximately six weeks, to a damaged sewer in Great Yarmouth.

Engineers will be working 24 hours a day to fix the sewer outside the pumping station in South Quay.

The work will start today (Thursday, May 23) but will have no impact on the surrounding roads.

A spokesman for Anglian Water said: "We are sorry for any disturbance to local residents, but this work is vital to ensure they can continue to flush their toilets and use their washing machines as normal.

"We have already written to local residents and would like to thank them for their on-going patience and co-operation while we make these vital repairs."
