The thaw in Diss is under way after snow showers overnight produced another 2 or 3cms of snow on top of the covering that had remained on the ground since Sunday.

Main roads, including Victoria Road and Roydon Road, have been gritted and are clear of snow, with traffic moving freely, though some side roads remain skiddy thanks to slush.

However, weather conditions have improved with the sun out and milder weather expected to spread in from the west overnight.
