There has been instances whereby road users have been endangered by obstructions on the verge of the highway. The placement of posts, stones, wooden blocks etc impede road users when they need to take urgent action to avoid traffic.

Guidance from Norfolk County Council confirms that the verge forms part of the Highway and under the Highways Act, the Highway must not be obstructed, and must always remain available for Highway users.

In the event of accident and injury, and if the obstructions are deemed to be the cause, there is the possibility that legal action could be taken against the property owner to recover damages. Norfolk County Council will investigate if complaints are received.

If an obstruction is causing a problem the Parish Council would always recommend parishioners speak to the property owner in the first instance.

However, any obstruction or damage to highways can easily be reported on the NCC Highways web site @ https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/roads/report-a-problem

Dear All,
I hope December is going well for you, so far.

Tomorrow’s Art Cafe reflects the new season of Advent as we look at ‘Beginning Again: The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth in three paintings’. Sadly, none of them are by Egbert Modderman after his wonderful time with us last week, but hopefully they’re going to inspire and intrigue us anyway!

Here is your Zoom invitation:

Please can I ask that whoever is walking their dog in the Covey and taking the trouble to collect their pets poo in white poo bags, walk as far as the Poo Bin and dispose of them there, rather than throw them in the hedges along the Covey.

Those left buy the gate to the field were barely 10 feet away from the dog bin!.

The Parish Council provides 3 dog bins around the village having these emptied once a week cost this year £265. Probably a good idea to get value for money and use them as it’s paid out of the precept which is part of your council tax.

Also this year, 30 signs reminding dog owners of their responsibility to pick up after their pets have been put up around the village. There are signs at the Play Park and the landowner has also put signs along the footpath to the park and the allotments.

What more can be done to deter this disgusting practice? Name and Shame?
