The sale has been running since the start of the week at the Canaries Official store in Castle Mall Norwich, with a range of merchandise significantly reduced. But as the store opened at 9am groups of people perceived not to be Norwich fans began filling cardboard boxes with items. Soon tempers began to flare as products were cleared off the railings and fans began to vent their frustrations. The decision was then taken to close the store as tensions rose, with the shutters coming down at around 9.45am. One disgruntled fan had travelled from Attleborough and taken a half day at work to visit the sale. He said: “It is so unfair. These aren’t real fans, they are obviously … [Read more...] about Norwich City shop closes after clearance sale attracts ‘fake fans’

Norwich City Council Elections 2018: Spotlight on Eaton, Lakenham and Mancroft
Norwich goes to the polls next week. Picture: ANTONY KELLY Archant Norfolk 2016 The fight for control of Mancroft ward could be one of the most interesting battles when Norwich goes to the polls for the city council elections. Eaton candidates: Ben Hardie (L), Samantha England (C) Jane Saunders (G) and James Wright (LD). Pics: Labour, Conservatives, Green Party, Labour. Until 2016, the Greens held all three seats in the city centre division, but one of the four seats which Labour took from them two years ago, was in Mancroft. There were just over 355 votes between David Fullman, the current Lord Mayor, and Green candidate Amanda Chapman. The Green’s sitting councillor Simeon Jackson is not standing this time around, with Sandra Bogelein switching from her current Wensum ward to try to see off the threat from Labour’s Jo Smith. The Liberal Democrats have a group of three at City Hall - all representing Eaton. Lib Dem group leader James Wright is looking to retain his … [Read more...] about Norwich City Council Elections 2018: Spotlight on Eaton, Lakenham and Mancroft
Norwich City Council Elections 2018: Candidates in Bowthorpe, Crome and Catton Grove say why they deserve your vote
Norwich and Great Yarmouth will go to the polls next month. Picture: Matthew Usher. © Archant Norfolk 2015 Norwich goes to the polls next month for the city council elections. DAN GRIMMER focuses on the fights for Bowthorpe, Catton Grove and Crome wards. Candidates for Bowthorpe in the Norwich City Council elections 2018: Andrew Wiltshire (C), Sue Sands (L), Jean Bishop (G) and Oliver Healey (LD). Pics: Conservative Party, Labour, Green Party, Liberal Democrats. When Norwich last went to the polls to pick who should represent them at City Hall two years ago, it was a good night for Labour, taking 44pc of the vote and four seats from the Greens. Labour will be keen to build on that performance, but the Greens, who lost all their Norwich seats at county council level last year, will want to prove they can still thrive. However, the wards of Bowthorpe, Catton Grove and Crome are unlikely to be a barometer for the battle between the two biggest groups at City Hall. Labour … [Read more...] about Norwich City Council Elections 2018: Candidates in Bowthorpe, Crome and Catton Grove say why they deserve your vote
