One the the largest swimming pools in Norfolk is to close for around a week to allow the upgrade of safety cameras.

The UEA Sportspark pool will be shut from March 6 to March 14 inclusive as work takes place.

In a statement Sportspark management said: "We do understand the impact that this will have on our regular hirers, clubs and swimmers and the disappointment this will cause."

"This is an important upgrade in our commitment to providing the safest environment possible for our customers and staff".

A man died last January after getting into difficulty at the Sportspark pool.
