City suburbs will see a new bus service launched next month with some areas served for the first time.

Our Bus service 808A, due to begin operating on September 4, will serve areas including Costessey, Taverham, Weston Longville and Ringland, and locations further afield such as Hethersett and Wymondham. 

Stops that have been announced include Sandy Lane in Taverham, Tower Hill in Costessey, and Longwater Retail Park.

Jerry Cushion, owner and general manager of Our Bus, said: "We were very excited to have been awarded the contract and start the new service later next month.

"We're happy to bring it to an area that really needs it."

Our Bus operates a range of contracts through the council, both public and private, with the 808A expected to use one of its smaller, single-decker buses to navigate rural roads. 

It comes after First Bus announced it would be introducing a new timetable affecting the Orange, Yellow, Purple, and Charcoal routes.
