Church Road roadworks. Closure & diversion

by

Highway works are due to commence on Monday 29 July 2019 on Church Road for a duration of three weeks, West of Hethel Road to the public footpath. The works are to install kerbing to a section of the trod path continuing from work started last year. There will be some drainage installation work and repairs to the trod path carried out at the same time.

The road will be closed to traffic until work is complete. However pedestrian access will be maintained. There is a diversion for drivers: a signed diversion route along Church Road, B1113 Norwich Road, C594 Wymondham Road, Gravel Pit Lane and Ashwellthorpe Road will be in place. The diversion route is mapped here.

This work is being carried out during the school holidays to minimise disruption.

The County Council thanks people for their patience whilst this work is carried out.

The work which will cost £21000 will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Community and Environmental Services Department and their contractors.

For Further Information: Robert West, Highway Engineer, 0344 800 8020.

Up-to-date information about roadworks in Norfolk is available on the County Council website at www.norfolk.gov.uk/roadworks

Lotus – SNC contact

by

Adrian Nicholas,  Specialist Technical Advisor at SNC (01508 533722; anicholas@s-norfolk.gov.uk ) has written of contact with Group Lotus and discussions about their Hethel track use and related noise/inconvenience to neighbours.

When we posted about this in February 2019, we had hoped to hear that Group Lotus were reinstating their periodic email updates sent to residents living near their site. These would provide information about the company’s activities, including planned use of the Hethel test track.  We have heard nothing about this, but have received a copy of their 2019 calendar for track use – see here

However residents have heard noise from cars on the Hethel track. Some find this untenable. If this is you, then please let Adrian Nicholas know. Write to him at anicholas@s-norfolk.gov.uk providing details of your complaint.

Your location caller?

Found you!

Summer’s a great time to be out and about, going to festivals and exploring the countryside. Unfortunately, your location can be difficult to describe sufficiently in an emergency – 999 call handlers have to deal with directions like “I can see a farm in the distance…” or “There’s a big white tent nearby”. When every second counts, being able to describe where help is needed is crucial.

This week, emergency services across the UK are joining forces to raise awareness of what3words in their local communities. The message is simple: this Summer, prepare to help the emergency services find you:

  • download the free what3words app
  • find your 3 word address, just in case.

You can see an example on our own website, here and click on the red square.

Wrenfest 2019

by

Wrenfest is fast approaching and we are hoping to see you all there for a fun filled day. We are now starting to get the last things together and we are looking for help. Could you help in one of the following ways:

  • Provide a gazebo for us to use for our stalls?
  • Help with set up or give an hour of your time to be on a stall for the day?
  • Bake a cake?
  • Be a parking attendant?
  • Give up a space on your driveway for the day for helpers so they don’t take up valuable spaces in the car park?
  • Could you sell raffle tickets in advance?

If you can help in anyway then do please get in touch either via e-mail wrenfest@outlook.com mob: 07736 474591 or drop into the school and let them know.

The day is set to be a great event, food, licensed bar, live music, stalls, entertainment and a great raffle! If you are on Facebook please do join the event Wrenfest where there will be weekly updates of what will be happening on the day.

Also if you have a business and would like to advertise in our programme which will be distributed to surrounding areas do please get in touch.

Look forward to seeing you there.
