Nextdoor

Nextdoor is a great way to stay informed about what’s going on in your neighbourhood – whether it’s finding a last-minute babysitter, planning a local event, or sharing safety tips. There are so many ways our neighbours can help us, we just need an easier way to connect with them.

No 80 Bus (Dereham)

From 8th October 2021, the No 80 bus service to Dereham will be operated by Our Hire. Please see the attached timetable, which differs slightly in time to the previous one.

The service 80 is a Friday only bus service that serves Foulsham.

Mobile Library Changes

Norfolk County Council have made some changes to the mobile library service, following the public consultation last year and the final decisions made by Norfolk County Council Cabinet in January 2023. They are preparing to decommission one mobile library and continue to operate five vehicles, and an electric mini mobile, due for commission later this year. In accordance with the key principles agreed by Members, Norfolk Library and Information Service will cease the majority of stops that happen within 1.5 miles of a branch library.

They will be working with customers to ensure they know what is happening. Anyone that is unable to visit a branch library will be able to contact their local library and request a visit from the Home Library Service (HLS) that is operated in partnership with the Royal Voluntary Services (RVS).

Trees & Hedges

Residents are reminded of their responsibility to cut back overgrowing trees and hedges from public footways and neighbouring properties. Please be mindful however of nesting birds. Certain restrictions apply during the nesting/breeding season so, for more information, please see https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/69 (Wildlife and Countryside Act). If managed appropriately at the correct time of year, there should be little need for trees, shrubs and hedges to be pruned during the spring.

River Maintenance

The Environment Agency inspect and maintain rivers and flood defences. They target this work to reduce the risk of flooding to people and property.

Recycling Scheme

The recycling banks located on Station Road generate funds for the benefit of the village. Papers and magazines but no cardboard or crisp packets please in the paper bank. Please separate clear and coloured glass into the appropriate bins and no general rubbish please.

Defibrillator (AED)

The Parish Council maintains a defibrillator (AED) which is located in the old telephone box on the High Street. In the event of a cardiac arrest, phone 999 and, if appropriate, they will instruct you on how to access the defibrillator.
