Paw patrols 'invaluable' in fight against crime
There are 47 police dogs and 25 handlers in Norfolk and Suffolk's joint dog unit, providing specialist support to colleagues to help keep both counties safe.
Last year, the team made more than 1,170 arrests, carried out more than 1,500 drug searches and helped find 347 missing people.
Councillor Nigel Pearce says he feels the proposals would be "robbing the Norfolk coast... taking money out of the area and not bringing benefits to the two seaside towns."
Councillor Judy Oliver says the council would look to challenge the proposal in court if it's pushed through.
The partnership says the financial sustainability of civil parking enforcement in Norfolk depends on additional revenue from such schemes.

Norwich is among the five most vibrant smaller cities in the UK, according to a new report.

The report, by the Centre for Cities think tank, says Norwich, Cambridge, Oxford, Milton Keynes and Swindon have higher productivity levels than bigger cities such as Manchester and Birmingham.
They also have higher than average levels of employment and business start-ups, and are among the fastest growing in terms of population. However, the report warns that without government help, challenges such as housing, increasing traffic congestion and skills gaps could halt the progress in its tracks.
Cannabis 'should be available in specialist shops,' says MP
He says it could raise over £1bn a year in tax revenue for the government. The party also says over-18s should be allowed to grow cannabis at home for personal use.
Mr Lamb, Lib Dem health spokesman, said it had to be better than the current policy where "vast amounts of police time and resources are wasted going after those using the drug".
Cromer's British featherweight champion Ryan Walsh will make the second defence of his title on 30 April.
He will face Northern Irishman James Tennyson (pictured) at London's Copper Box Arena.

Ryan Ely, flood and coastal risk adviser for the Environment Agency, says the moving of more than 5,000 cubic metres of sand and shingle from the Snettisham Scalp to reinforce the defences is the most sustainable way to protect the coast.

Councillors urge rethink on parking meters scheme for Cromer and Sheringham
North Norfolk District Council has sent a statement from its members to officers of the Norfolk Parking Partnership Joint Committee setting out the authority's concerns at controversial plans to introduce on-street parking meters to Cromer and Sheringham.
Councillor Nigel Pearce says he feels the proposals would be "robbing the Norfolk coast... taking money out of the area and not bringing benefits to the two seaside towns."
Councillor Judy Oliver says the council would look to challenge the proposal in court if it's pushed through.
The partnership says the financial sustainability of civil parking enforcement in Norfolk depends on additional revenue from such schemes.

Mr Lamb, Lib Dem health spokesman, said it had to be better than the current policy where "vast amounts of police time and resources are wasted going after those using the drug".
