Firefighters in Norfolk 'know sunny days will be relentless' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As soon as he wakes up in the morning and sees the sun through his window, firefighter Matthew Oxborrow already knows how his day at work will turn out. He is based at Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service. It declared a major incident at 15:15 BST on Thursday due to the number of incidents across the county placing "significant pressure" on resources. In July alone, the service mobilised crews 2,730 times - 768 more times than in July 2025. Oxborrow, a temporary operational support officer at the ser

When Derick Bowler and his wife moved to Trimingham on the Norfolk coast they thought they would leave the village "feet first" after being told they had 100 years before their "dream home" would be lost to the sea. The couple moved to the village in 2011 with Bowler's wife hoping to replicate her fond memories of going to the beach every day when she lived in Cape Town, South Africa.

Kitty Wilson Brown and Claire O'Sullivan have been growing hemp at Wakelyns Farm in Fressingfield, Suffolk, for the past four years to turn it into colourful fabrics. Hemp has been used for its fibre in England since the 5th Century, and between 1500 and 1800 it was extensively used to make ship ropes and sails, but the industry declined and there are just a few growe

Read excerpt
"It's awful, it's like a weight on me constantly, and no matter what I do or what I try to do, I always end up back here." Shannon, a 27-year-old mum of one, feels isolated by her money worries, but she is far from alone. Her town, Great Yarmouth, has the third highest rate of people needing debt support in England and Wales, according to government figures. In March 2026, 29.1% of people aged 16 to 65 in the Norfolk coastal town were on Universal Credit, compared with 18.4% for the county as a
