Developers behind a Norwich backpackers' hostel are asking for help from local firms to make it one of the greenest buildings in the county.

The hostel will be built in the former Ferry Boat pub on King Street, near the Riverside complex, which has been sitting empty for four years.

Alister Borthwick and his son Jason, who created the Deepdale Farm campsite on the North Norfolk Coast, plan to turn it into an eco-friendly hostel with 200 rooms to attract tourists to the city.

The centre would offer rooms from as little as £9.50 per night, cycle and canoe hire and a cafe and tourist information centre.
