A major project to make one of Norfolk's biggest rivers meander once again is taking shape - but its location is being kept top secret.

Engineers are currently making a section of the River Yare wiggle and are creating floodplain wetlands as part of a £282,000 scheme.

The waterway is one of only 210 chalk streams in the world - rare habitats which are often dubbed England's rainforests.

Rewiggling rivers is a project I can get behind.
