A coffee shop chain is causing a stir in a Norfolk town over the placement of its sign.

Costa Coffee, in Cromer, has been angering locals who say the position of one of its signs is blocking the pavement. 

They say the sign, which is placed outside the chain's Church Street coffee shop, is obstructing the pavement for pedestrians and wheelchair users. 

Now, North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) has contacted Costa to get the sign moved.

"Costa don’t seem to have any consideration for the local community in Cromer," one local said.

"I can only assume they’ve been told about this in the past, but after a short time they ignore the warning and push out towards the kerb again.

"Costa seem to want to have it all for themselves."

Tim Adams, leader of NNDC, who represents the Cromer Town ward, said: "I received a complaint and observed the issue myself. 

"I later corresponded with Costa who have forwarded it to their area manager."
