Medieval History
Protectors of the medieval city walls in Norwich are hoping to save cash and slash waiting times for urgent repairs by up to 12 months.
Norwich City Council faces an ongoing battle to preserve the much-loved walls, with water, road salt and plants causing damage throughout the year.
Now officials at City Hall are in talks with English Heritage about making it easier to patch-up the early 14th century structures.
It is hoped the deal, known as a heritage partnership agreement, will prevent permission being required from English Heritage every time the council wants to carry out repairs on the walls.
Officials say this can be a time-consuming and costly process.
