From the official notice: …affecting the C375 Church Meadow Lane from its junction with C374 Threadneedle Street to its junction with U76374 Upper Kiln Lane (the “Road”) in the Parish of Bergh Apton to facilitate new duct and chambers installation works, the Road will be temporarily closed (except for pedestrian access) for the duration of the works/period the closure is necessary which is anticipated to be from 8^th to 17^th October 2025, but may continue to be closed/restricted until the 28^th November 2025 where the closure is still required beyond the anticipated dates… 

Did you know that the Parish Council collates information on drivers’ speed through the village, and the reports are available on the website for anyone interested? The Aug 2025 report has just been added.

The camera is moved around the village roughly every month, and the speed of the average speeder is calculated. You might be surprised how many cars go over the speed limit, and surprised at the maximum recorded speed each month.

All the reports going back to 2022, can be found here on our parish council page:

The next Alpington with Yelverton Parish Council meeting will be held at 7.30pm at the village hall, Mon 8th September 2025. The agenda is downloadable here.

Norfolk County Council’s annual recycling centre survey is an opportunity for householders to provide feedback on Norfolk Recycling Centres. It gives an ongoing picture of what’s working well, what could be improved and how residents are using the household waste recycling centres.

To help the centres continue providing an efficient and value-for-money service in the coming years, they want to find out your views about the recycling centres you use. Even if you don’t use them, they want to hear from you so that they can understand why.

It takes just five minutes to complete the survey.  The survey runs from 20 August to 17 September. If you can, please share it with friends and family too.

Further to previous notices, please note we have been advised that the closure/restriction of Church Road Yelverton had gone beyond the anticipated dates and is now anticipated to be in place until 3rd September 2025. To facilitate the new fibre network installation works.

Don’t forget the Friends of St. Mary’s Coffee Morning on Saturday 16th at the Wheel of Fortune, from 10.30 to 12 noon. To celebrate our 15th anniversary there will be Mini Spangles Steel Band, and children’s activities.  There will also be a very good selection of toys and games, and jigsaws, as well as our usual stalls.

On the first weekend of August there was a fly-tipping incident at the Village Hall. Any fly-tipping is illegal and unnecessary as there are many other ways to dispose of household waste responsibly. The Village Hall is a charity run by volunteers and clearing up waste that has been fly-tipped could incur costs that would otherwise be used for maintenance of the Village Hall so that it can continue to be used for the benefit of community groups.

It is easy to book a slot at the Bergh Apton Recycling Centre to dispose of excess packaging, old appliances, garden waste or other items.  Just visit the Norfolk County Council website waste recycling and you will be directed to the appropriate page where it just takes a few minutes to book a slot.

Norfolk County Council also has special hazardous waste amnesty days where you can take things like old paint cans that aren’t empty, garden chemicals, wood treatments etc. 

The next hazardous waste disposal days at the Norwich South Waste Recycling Centre (situated at the Harford Park and Ride) are on the 3rd and 4th October and slots can be booked up to 8 days in advance.

If you see fly-tipping incidents in public places you can report this via the South Norfolk website.
