Parish Council Meeting 10th

July 2002

Rectory Road/Norwich Road - Junction Improvements:
We have recently been informed by Norfolk County Council that the work is currently programmed to commence in February 2003.

Bl150 Norwich Road - Hatching:
We have also be notified that the revised centre line work should be completed by the end of August.

The Parish Council will continue to press for early completion on both these schemes.

Both schemes are taking what seems to be a considerable time before coming to fruition, but, there are laid down procedures which have to be followed by the Authorities before any works can commence.

Mineral Extraction Schemes:
As stated in last months Marlpit, Broadland District Council have objected strongly to the Tarmac Application and a number of people seem to be under the impression that the final decision has been made. Broadland are only consultees, the same as the Parish Council, the final decision is made by Norfolk County Council and this decision will not be until the Autumn.

There is still time to send objections in if you wish to do so:

Mill Road Playing Field:
A number of parishioners have reported that the 'Springy Duck' has been 'stolen'! This was removed by the Parish Council as it has been broken. The possibility of a replacement will be looked into once funds are available.

Mobile Police Office:
This will again be in attendance on Wednesday, 14th August and Thursday, 12th September 2002 in the Rectory Road lay-by - 1.45 pm to 4.00 pm.
