This is the latest “Operation Randall” newsletter from the police, from the team specialising in rural crime around Norfolk.

Oct/Nov 2022 edition of Eleven Says, the Newspaper of the Bramerton Group of Churches covering 11 Parishes.

We have become aware of a rise in thefts from domestic oil tanks. Check your tanks regularly, and have a look at this advice from the police.

A request from the Bergh Apton Speed Watch Team. Would anyone be interested in volunteering with them, to monitor traffic going through the village?

If so (or if you have any further requests for info) please get in contact at clerk@berghapton.org.uk

Following the Jubilee weekend in June the Parish Council would like to make a record of the events for future generations to enjoy. If you have any photos and are happy to share them please send them to the clerk at the following address at clerk.alpington@gmail.com

Or even just mention to that address that you’d be interested in contributing some. There’s no need to actually send the photos at this point, the Parish Council is investigating how much interest there would be, and what the total file size would be etc.

Our generation has enjoyed looking back at the photos from the previous jubilees, including fetes and street parties etc. So the idea here is to create a collection centrally of interesting pictures of the village events, that future generations can look back on and enjoy.

An invitation from the Parish Council to apply for the Community Benefit Fund:

Since 2015 we have received an annual payment from the Avenue Solar Farm. This money is put into the Community Benefit Fund and each year local groups and individuals are invited to apply for a grant towards projects or activities in Alpington and Yelverton that benefit the community as a whole or a group of residents.

As in previous years, we would like to invite applications from groups or individuals who seek funding to make a positive impact within our community.

Please see the attached poster for some rules and regulations, and how to apply.

Please have your completed applications returned to the Clerk by 30th November 2022. The results will be announced at the 9th January 2023 Council meeting.
