Great Yarmouth man fears being forced out of home
Available for over a year
Homeowners in an area of Great Yarmouth earmarked for regeneration say they risk being forced from their homes - and "priced out of the market". The borough council wants to regenerate North Quay - close to Asda and the railway station - and were last year given £20 million from the government's Levelling Up fund to prepare the site.

Cyril tells Andy Trigg more.
