Strikes have led to the closure of 245 schools and disruption at two Norfolk hospitals this morning.

Across the country over two million public sector workers are expected to strike today in a dispute over pensions.

At the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital appointments have been rearranged although emergency services are continuing as normal.

The James Paget Hospital is running a bank holiday service with some surgery and clinics cancelled.

County Hall is open, but the customer service department will give priority to emergency social care and highway calls.

Norwich City Council said about 370 of its 830-strong workforce had indicated they would be absent due to strike action.

A spokeswoman said City Hall would be open for business, but would be closed between midday and 2pm because of a Coalition Against The Cuts march and rally, which culminates with speeches on the steps of City Hall.

The council said they were expecting their contractors to deal with waste as normal.

South Norfolk Council said they were aiming to deliver all their services, but warned there could be some disruption.

Broadland District Council and Great Yarmouth Borough Council were concerned the closure of schools could have a knock-on effect on the workforce, although they said they expected most services to run as normal.

Stanstead Airport warned passengers coming into the UK they may face delays with UK Border Agency staff on strike.
