Half of the famous Diss Mere is to be reclaimed and turned into a car park for a new cut-price supermarket.

Council chiefs recognised the new store could cause parking chaos in the pretty town, so have agreed to drastic measures to concrete over half of the popular lake.

The town is built around the beautifuil six-acre Mere - and locals are furious half of it will now be replaced by a car park.

Gone will be the wonderful noise of wildlife enjoying the surroundings. Instead, car engines and the clanking off shopping trolleys will become the norm.
