People can enjoy enhanced access to a Norfolk Broads beauty spot this summer.

Salhouse Broad has celebrated the grand opening of a new boardwalk which was developed in collaboration with students and teachers at City College Norwich.

The boardwalk was designed to make Salhouse Broad more accessible and encourage more visitors to come and enjoy the natural environment.

Salhouse Broad manager, Kelly Banthorpe, said: "We are thrilled to open our new boardwalk and extend our heartfelt thanks to the dedicated students of City College Norwich.

"This project highlights the importance of educational partnerships in achieving mutual goals.

"We are excited to see visitors enjoy the improved access to our beautiful Broad."

Members of the public are being invited to sponsor a plank on the boardwalk to help support Salhouse Broad's ongoing conservation efforts.

Sponsors will have the opportunity to have their own engraved plaque on the plank which will remain for years to come.

Pennsylvania Senate passes bill to bar universities and pension funds from divesting from Israel
Pennsylvania’s state Senate approved legislation Thursday that would block state aid from going to any university that boycotts or divests from Israel, following pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses across the country that included demands for divestment. The measure, which passed by a vote of 41 to 7, also would bar the state treasurer and public pension systems from boycotting or divesting from Israel's government or commercial financial activity in that country. Supporters of the legislation said it was motivated by a desire to support an ally nation in its war with Hamas, to fight a rising tide of antisemitism in the United States and to alert state-subsidized universities that they must protect Jewish students from threats and bullying by anti-Israel protesters.
