Six new homes have been built on the former site of an old police house on St Edmundsbury Road in King's Lynn.

The properties were developed by housing association Freebridge Community Housing and will be leased and operated by the YMCA.

Tony Hall, chief executive of Freebridge, said: 'Our mission is to develop homes and create opportunities for people in West Norfolk and the developments at St Edmundsbury Road in North Lynn and Priory Road in North Wootton are great examples of this.

''We are passionate about providing people with good quality homes to live in, and are delighted that we're able to continue to support the needs of the community by providing much needed housing in places where people want to live.'
