We report on Westerbork 840 MHz, 1.4 and 5 GHz radio observations of theimproved IPN-WFC error box of the gamma-ray burst GRB 970111, between 26.4hours and 120 days after the event onset. In the ~ 13 sq arcmin area defined bythe IPN (BATSE and Ulysses) annulus and the published refined BeppoSAX WideField Camera error box we detected no steady sources brighter than 0.56 mJy (4sigma), and no varying radio emission, down to 1.0 mJy (4 sigma). We alsoreport on B, V, R and I band observations of the error box with the 4.2 mWilliam Herschel Telescope at La Palma.Comment: 19 pages including 4 figures, Latex, accepted for APJ
