An eye-sore building previously described as a carbuncle has been assessed as "sound" says a council.

The property at 9 Norwich Street in Fakenham was set to go under a building wrap in January.

However, it is expected that the installation will be completed by late February, factoring in printing and installation time, said a spokesman from North Norfolk District Council. 

It was originally planned for January, having been pushed back from November.   

Speaking at the time, the council said the pushback came from working to complete the design work for the wrap and actively engaging with Fakenham Town Council and members before its final commission. 

The property at 9 Norwich Street was originally declared unsafe in 2019, before being served with an urgent works notice in 2021. 

It has been surrounded by scaffolding since May 2022. 

The spokesman added: “The building is sound and the district council will continue to work with Fakenham Town Council.”
