Reports of hate crime, shoplifting and theft will be regarded as non-emergency over the busy summer months and should be dealt with using a new-look website, Norfolk Police said.

The force said serious incidents, crashes and violent crime reports should still be made on the 999 emergency number.

But an operator on the 101 number will inquire about the nature of the incident being reported and will process it according to whether it is regarded as urgent or not.

Assistant Chief Constable Paul Sandford said the new system was designed to prioritise crimes and the response to them.

He said: "We're not saying do not call us but you may have to wait longer for a response to non-urgent matters or crimes that have already happened and a better way would be to use the new website."

A formal challenge has been lodged against plans to cut back on free school transport in Suffolk.

Contractors working on the £3.6m redevelopment of Ipswich's Cornhill in the town centre could be allowed to work extended hours.

Ipswich Borough Council has applied for permission to allow longer construction hours outside of 08:00-18:00 on weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.

But council leader David Ellesmere insisted they are not behind schedule and are still planning to get it finished by October.

Mr Ellesmere said: "We've had some issues with deliveries of materials because of some problems in China and Portugal.

"We just wanted to give ourselves a bit more flexibility so that we can ensure, if we want to finish an area at a certain time, we can just do a little more work and do that."

Critics have called the whole project a "waste of money", although it was originated after the existing square was described as "a bit shabby" by former Marks & Spencer boss Lord Rose.
