Welcome to our Parish Council website

​

The Parish Council currently has a vacancy.  If you are interested in local matters and keen to look after the services and facilities in your Parish please contact the Clerk for an informal chat.  The Parish Council usually meets about eight times per year on a Tuesday evening in the Village Hall for about 90 minutes.

​

Anglian Water and Cambridge Water are seeking views on their proposals for a new reservoir in the Cambridgeshire Fens, and its connecting infrastructure. You can view the proposals and provide feedback on the project website. The project team will be available to ask questions at community events and webinars. To find out more about events happening in our area and the information available, please visit: https://fensreservoir.co.uk/consultation/have-your-say/get-involved/

Please see information relating to watercourses and flooding.

What is a watercourse? Who is responsible?

​​​​

Do you know any Norfolk residents aged 65 or over who are currently experiencing financial hardship?  Norfolk County Council operates the Norfolk Assistance Scheme (NAS) in partnership with Age UK Norfolk and Age UK Norwich to help residents aged 65+ get support and financial assistance for food, energy, water and other essentials.  If you know of anyone who could benefit from the scheme, please encourage them to apply for support. They can do so either themselves or through another party such as through Age UK or via a carer or family - online at www.norfolk.gov.uk/NAS or by calling 0333 996 8333.

As you will have seen on our Home Page we are currently trying to provide access over the Bedford River for ramblers to complete what is known locally as Footpath 7 (or 'wide skies and open views'). The bridge over the river has been dilapidated for many years and we have been trying for a very long time to replace this.  Without getting too involved with the detail it has not been a straight forward exercise with many hurdles to jump for the land owners, the Drainage Board, the Parish Council and Norfolk County Council.  We are hopeful however that things are now moving in the right direction and very soon we might be able to open up this lovely walk once more for everyone.
