Norwich City Council's newly elected Green cabinet has approved £564,000 of work at St Benedict's and St Bartholomew's - the last surviving fragments of two churches flattened by German bombs in 1942.

Surveys found decaying stonework and flint, failed historic repairs and defective roofs at both towers, with officers warning that debris falling from the ageing structures posed an increasing danger to people below.
