Surlingham

Police in Norfolk and Suffolk have launched an operation to improve road safety and reduce collisions as the darker nights set in.

Collision rates tend to increase at this time of year and police are warning drivers to be prepared for the change in conditions as the clocks go back on Sunday 31 October.

Operation Dark Nights will see officers carrying out roadside checks throughout the next month focusing on defect offences involving lights, tyres, windscreens and screen wash and anything else which may impact on the roadworthiness of a vehicle.

The aim is to educate drivers about the risks of driving with defective vehicles while also enforcing offences where appropriate. The operation which was launched Friday 15 October will run in both counties for a month ending on Monday 15 November

Dear All,
We hope you’re keeping well.

This Sunday’s Church services are
9.30am Communion at Rockland St.Mary and
11am Harvest Festival at Bramerton.

Helen has recorded a morning service that celebrates Autumn that you can find here https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=BFEIHWYSvCg&fbclid=IwAR26vmmHOcpQA7Zh0tmeGyJ8K5oUhMnJAWaWzvH2nue0jPMC3nupCtXykBg

Next week (31st) we will be joined by our friends from Thurton benefice in Surlingham Church at 10am for a Group Holy Communion service.

Wishing you a good and peaceful week ahead,
Nick and Helen

This Youtube channel post is well worth a look.

Celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee are planned to take place over the four day holiday weekend 2nd to 5th June 2022.

After the restrictions and cancellation of events over the past months, this is a good opportunity to bring the village together. The Parish Council would like to hear from parisioners willing to organise a celebration for Surlingham. This could be a fete, afternoon tea or something else.

Bruno Peek, the Queens Pageantmaster is encouraging communities up and down the country to light beacons. These need not be a gas fuelled beacon similar to the one to comemorate the centenary of WW1, it could be a bonfire in a field.

If this is something that you would like to get involved with please contact the Parish Clerk on 538921 or email.

Please see the links below for the latest information from Norfolk County, and South Norfolk District Councils and the Norfolk Flooding Alliance.
