Burgh le Marsh celebrated the bypass with a community walk of just over 2 miles.

Three coach loads of walkers were transported from the village hall at 1.30pm to the starting point at Layfords. Father Terry Steele performed a blessing of the bypass and Burgh's mayor, Cllr John Panton, gave a commemomorative speech. Gladys Waite, one of Burgh's most senior residents, performed the cutting of the ribbon.

A reception followed the walk back at the village hall with refreshments and a special bypass cake and a grand raffle, the star prize being an HD Television, all proceeds for the Burgh Town Enhancements.
