An unusual plea has been issued for the mystery owners of two patches of land needed for a £4.4m roundabout revamp to reveal themselves.
Norfolk County Council wants to make controversial changes to the Heartsease roundabout.
The mooted revamp had come in for criticism from the public and Norwich Cycling Campaign over shared cycleways and footpaths.
Under revised plans for the notorious Norwich junction, the council is considering using land on either side of Harvey Lane so it can provide segregated space instead.
But council bosses have been unable to establish who owns that land - in front of the Heartsease pub and the former Lloyds Bank.
The council has appealed for the owners to get in touch, so negotiations over buying it can begin.

If no owner is found, the council would start the process of compulsory purchase of the land.
A spokesperson for Norfolk County Council said: "We are seeking to acquire some additional land around the Heartsease roundabout as part of our proposed improvement scheme.
"This would allow us to create greater separation between pedestrians and cyclists, which was an issue raised during the public consultation.
"We have contacted nearby land owners listed on land registry and placed public notices to try and establish who owns land where no owner is listed.
"If an owner is found we will work to acquire the land through an agreement with them.
"If no owner is found we will work through a compulsory purchase order process to acquire the land.
"It is common practice for the council to buy small parcels of land when we are carrying out improvements to our roads, pathways and cycling infrastructure.
The landowners, or anybody who knows who the land belongs to, should email jennifer.batten@norfolk.gov.uk
Councillors will discuss the roundabout revamp, to be paid for using a slice of the £32m awarded to Norfolk through the government's Transforming Cities scheme, at a meeting on Wednesday (May 31).
