A Norfolk Broads beauty spot has been given a makeover in time for the summer.

The Rollesby Bridge area is one of few viewing spots and recreation areas along the Trinity Broads but it has degraded in recent years, making it unwelcome and inaccessible.

But now The Trinity Broads Project and Norfolk Wildlife Trust have invested and refurbished the site, including by adding two fully accessible viewing areas and an accessible picnic area.

The community came together to get behind the improvements which were made possible thanks to a £7,000 from The Norfolk Broads Lions Club.  

Stephen Pyzer, president of the Norfolk Broads Lions Club, said: “It has been a fantastic opportunity for us as a club to give money back to where we normally collect donations.

"We are delighted that this great project has made the beauty of Rollesby Broad more accessible to everyone.” 

Helen Jacobs, conservation team leader at Essex & Suffolk Water which owns the Trinity Broads, added: “Rollesby is a special, tranquil place and our customers value being able to view the water. 

"We are so grateful to all the people who have come together to deliver this project and make an inclusive area at Rollesby.”
