Scroby Sands windfarm operator Eon UK has struck an agreement to sponsor the six summer fireworks displays on Yarmouth seafront organised by the borough council and Yarmouth Tourist Authority.

Jon Beresford, asset leader for Eon UK, said: "We marked the official opening of the windfarm with a fireworks display so this was quite an apt decision.

"It'll also give us the chance to be right at the heart of the local community, who have all been very supportive of the Scroby Sands project, pretty much since day one."

It is hoped the events could also encourage even more visitors to the seafront Scroby Sands information centre, which has had another successful year with more than 30,000 people visiting to find out more about the windfarm.

The company employs 20 people locally to work on the wind farm and injects around £500,000 into the local economy every year.
