B1135 closure – impact on Wreningham Residents

by

SNC and Jackson’s have agreed to have a meeting with Parish Council representatives about the closure of the B1135 and the steps being taken to mitigate the impact to the local area such as in Wreningham. 

You will recall earlier this year when the B1135 was closed, a ratrun via Hethel Road created many difficulties for our residents and school families. The complaints lead to Hethel Road being closed. This halted the Hethel Road ratrun but traffic soon re-routed via Wymondham Road instead. 

This time Hethel Road will be closed for a 10 week duration due to the B1135 roadworks from 20th July – 18th September 2026. However we believe that an inevitable ratrun via Wymondham Road should also be tackled, perhaps by closing that road too at the Devlin Development entrance.

We would like to hear from you with your comments about the 10 week B1135 closure and what it will mean for you, given your experiences from the last closure. We will collate your views and comments for discussion at this meeting. Kindly email us at recall.me@gmail.com with “B1135 closure” in the subject line by 10th July.

Please note that all comments will be anonymized and the emails deleted once we have produced a summary prior to the meeting.

Thank you

SNC food waste collection

by

South Norfolk Council is introducing a weekly food waste collection service in two phases: from 27 July 2026 and from 28 September 2026. You can use the postcode checker to confirm your collection start date:

www.southnorfolkandbroadland.gov.uk/food-waste-south-norfolk

Before collections begin, households will receive a leaflet with further information, along with a kitchen caddy, outdoor food waste bin and liners. This new weekly service can be used for all food waste, including peelings, leftovers, tea bags, coffee grounds, meat, fish and bones. Food waste will be collected on the same day as rubbish and recycling collections, using a separate vehicle.

Collected food waste will be recycled into renewable energy and nutrient-rich fertiliser, helping to create a cleaner, greener South Norfolk.
