PARISH COUNCIL NOTICES........

 

 

Community Parish Plan

The committee charged with producing this plan are now well on with preparation of a final-draft and aim to present this to the council, for its approval in December. It is hoped to have the plan printed, and delivered to all households during January/February.

In the meantime, a full analysis of the answers given to the parish-wide questionnaire can now be seen on this website.

Proposed Eco-Town - Rackheath

At last month’s council meeting the sponsors of this project presented outline details of the proposed development; to include some 3,400 houses, three schools, shops and industrial units. There was no discernible enthusiasm for this proposal, either from within the council, or from those parishioners who attended the meeting.

The council will, in due course, submit their official opinion to the relevant authorities, as part of the consultative process.

 

Bee hives – Gt. Plumstead allotments

After consideration of the 12 submissions, (5 in favour, 7 against), the council, as owners of the allotments, rejected a request from an allotment-holder, Peter Lanyon, to place hives on his plot. The council is mindful of the existing, on-going threat to UK bee colonies and hopes Mr. Lanyon will be able to find another site within the parish. You can contact him on 722898

 

Speeding problems

All three villages have problems with speeding motorists; especially on Church Road, Gt. Plumstead, Salhouse Road, Lt. Plumstead and on the main road through Thorpe End. All of these highways have 30mph limits, which is the maximum you are permitted to drive. Regrettably, some motorists appear to think this is the minimum they should travel at! We urge all motorists to respect the speed limits – as well as saving fuel it can, more importantly, save lives and prevent injuries.

 

HELP THE POLICE TO HELP YOU 

You can assist the police by contacting your local Constable, or Community Support Officer, if you have any concerns over policing within your community. PC108, Paul Bassham and PCSO Bob Hall can be contacted through the Acle Station, on 0845 456 4567.

By giving the police information, however insignificant  it might appear, you can help them combat crime. Such information also assists Paul and Bob plan their patrols during shifts.

It is noted that a number of residents throughout the parish have allowed their bushes/hedges, forming their front boundaries, to over-grow, thus reducing the width of the public footpath.  We ask all residents look at their frontages and, where necessary, take action to clear footpaths for the benefit of the community.
