A large fallen tree blocking a road in Dereham this morning was cleared by police officers.

Police were called to the Swaffham Road, near the George Hotel, at around 10.30am after a neighbour saw the large tree fall.

Graphic designer Terry Symonds was walking his dog when he saw the tree come down.

He said: “It’s just really lucky that the road was totally clear otherwise it [the tree] would have killed a cyclist or a motorcyclist.”

Police officers moved the tree on to the path clearing the road and said that Highways had been informed.

There were no delays.
