PARISH COUNCIL CHAIRMAN'S REPORT - February 2010
The C.A.R.S information has been delivered, namely Heath Road, The Street, The Green,High Hill and parts of Town Street, plus some properties in Sutton Road, Staithe Road and Stubb Road.
There were not enough to supply everyone in the village so please pass on any posters that you do not require yourself.
The object is to stick the posters on the sides of your wheelie bins so they are only displayed once a week, as it has been proved that signs are ignored once they become a fixture.
Any queries on this matter contact the Clerk or myself.
The above is an innovation from the PCSO’s in trying to combat speeding in villages.
We will also be having extra speed watch patrols and visits from the traffic department, some in unmarked cars.
Speeding is an issue with all villages so a concentrated effort will be evidence over the next few months. But, once again any information, ie number plates of regular offenders that the public can give them is very much appreciated as they cannot be on watch 24/7.

They also wish to pursue the Community Speed Watch scheme, we already have one volunteer but would like some more, remember you do not have to work in your own village.
Please contact PCSO Jeanette Hawes on 0845 4564567
or email SNTStalham@norfolk.pnn.police.uk for further information.

Please note that information regarding which roads are given priority for gritting by the county council is now available online at www.norfolk.gov.uk/gritting

The Broads Authority have informed us that when the flood alleviation works alongside Hickling Broad are commenced in the Autumn/Winter they will be importing materials to the Hill Common area – a maximum of 600 tonnes of clay and topsoil for the new earth bank by heavy lorries, approx 7 per day over a 5 day period, so please be aware of the extra traffic loads through the village.

Next Parish Council meeting: 1st March at 7.15pm in the Community Hall
Viv Tallowin, Chairman.
