Marc Williams, an Area Coordinator for the UK charity Arthritis Action, is inviting people to join their new group for Norfolk and Suffolk.
Online Arthritis Action Groups
There are online Arthritis Action Groups throughout the country, now including a group for Norfolk & Suffolk, both as daytime and evening groups. They provide hands-on, practical help to combat the pain of arthritis through self-management and lifestyle advice and a range of free resources, including fact sheets, exercises, recipes and videos.
Arthritis Action Groups are an opportunity for people with arthritis to talk with others and share their tips on how to manage their arthritis and stay active whilst at home, and they welcome new attendees. They discuss a variety of self-management techniques.
Participants will need to contact them directly for the log-in instructions for the meeting, and they have produced ‘How To’ guides for those not familiar with using Zoom.
Future Group Dates:
30/03/2021 – Norfolk & Suffolk Online Group (Launch) – 2pm
09/04/2021 – Coffee morning (open to all areas) – 10:30am

Following a number of reported flash flooding incidents in the Parish, the Parish Council has been contacting the authorities.
South Norfolk Scrutiny committee have, on 27 January 2021, considered the nature of flash flooding in the District. They have made some interesting points with respect to defensive work and the nature of sandbags: Agenda plus reports for the Scrutiny Committee meeting and the draft minutes.
Under the Land Drainage Act 1991, Norfolk County Council is the ‘operating authority’ for ordinary watercourses in 79.3% of Norfolk. They publish specific guidance on their webpage “Information for Home Owners“. If you wish to report an obstruction / maintenance issue, the Water Management Team’s contact details are: water.management@norfolk.gov.uk or; 0344 800 8020.
The phrase “Riparian responsibility” occurs repeatedly and it is important that you are aware what this means if your property is next to a watercourse, see here.

In October 2016 (see here) we reported on a public consultation about the Hornsea Three Wind Farm (here for the company website). Things have moved on and in December 2020 planning approval was given by the Secretary of State for this national infrastructure project (documentation here).
The land based substation will be built on a large site just beyond Swardeston towards Norwich and is bounded by the B1113 to the West and the A47 to the North – see NCC Map here).
In 2018 the company issued a community newsletter which provided some high-level information. In the same year SNC considered the project and reported here.
As yet, there are no detailed designs for the substation. Swardeston PC are very aware of this and have provided this month a commentary about the project here.
