Parish Council News

A report on the Council’s budget at the meeting held on Monday 13 January showed that the Parish Council continues to manage within the existing level of funding. It was therefore decided unanimously not to make an increase to next year’s precept.  The amount that is paid to the Parish Council from the Council Tax has now remained unchanged for at least four years.

Two new dog bins have been purchased by the Parish Council.  It was agreed that they should be located at the top of Mill Lane on the High Road, and at the far end of Burnt House Lane on the far side of the A143.  The current annual charge by South Norfolk Council for emptying the bins is £59.48 + VAT for each bin so it is hoped that dog walkers will take full advantage of this facility.

The Parish Clerk was requested to notify Highways of the location of potholes requiring filling.

The meeting was pleased to note the increasing number of public attending the meeting.  The meeting is preceded by a public forum open to all to raise issues concerning the village.  The next meeting is at 7.30 on Monday 24th March, in the Village hall.  If you would like to receive copies of the agenda for Parish Council Meetings by email please contact the Parish Clerk at philip.c.freeman@btinternet.com
