Work is due to start on Monday to improve footpaths in a busy part of Dereham close to three schools.

The first stage - which involves preparing the paths in Westfield Road and Westfield Lane - should take two days and the second stage - when the coating is put on - will take about six days.

Residents will be told when the stages of the work are to be done.

Traffic controls will be in place while the work is carried out.

Toftwood Junior School and the Fred Nicholson School are in Westfield Road and Toftwood Infant School is just round the corner in School Lane.
