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:

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.
