The bus answer now reflects that Magdalen Street reopened on 9 March 2026 after the Anglia Square closures (we previously said the stops were suspended with no return date), and the market answer now says the revamp consultation closed in January with a decision expected in June 2026, rather than describing the consultation as still open.

Anglia Square's rebuild, the bus network reshuffles, the market revamp decision due this month, Carrow Works changing hands, the 2028 move to a single Greater Norwich council, and this summer's drought watch — each with its current status and the dates that are actually published. Every card was checked against official pages on 12 June 2026.

Today's air quality over the city centre, with Met Office-banded pollen through the summer — June is grass pollen season.

Both councils, NHS 111 and the hospital switchboard, the foodbank, Citizens Advice and Floodline — every number read off its organisation's own site, with a note that a third of urban Norwich answers to a different council.

Fourteen straight answers to what Norwich keeps asking — bin weeks and put-out rules, which of the two councils does what, the honest NHS dentist picture, school deadlines, Park and Ride fares and the market — each checked against official pages.

Live Environment Agency flood warnings for the city's three flood areas, with the upstream gauges that move first — Costessey Mill, Swanton Morley, Colney and Shotesham — and Floodline's number for when it matters.

A river city with a tight boundary: the Wensum loops through the middle, three flood areas cover the riverside streets, and a third of the urban area answers to a different council than the city's. The first slate starts with what residents actually have to work out — a flood watch, straight answers to recurring questions, a verified who-to-call list, and an air and pollen check for hay-fever season.

Ten documents covering demographics, the economy, civic services, local voices, geography, history, media and a tool backlog. Recurring themes: NHS dentist scarcity, the city/county council split (and its 2028 merger), Wensum flood areas, and constant bus service changes.
