Please support the ‘save our bus’ campaign

Please look at the previous post and do your bit to try and save Surlingham’s bus service.  Even if YOU don’t use it, you will know people who depend on it, and it might be you who needs it when you grow older, or your children when they need to travel to sixth form, college or work.

No 85 Bus Service – Subsidy under threat

Norfolk County Council is considering a reduction or cutting altogether the No 85 bus subsidy

The Parish Council is asking for your help to tell Norfolk County Council (NCC) about the impact of this action on you. The subsidy enables bus companies to provide a service which would otherwise be unprofitable for them.

The provision of your bus service is in line with the objectives of the Local Transport Plan 2011-2026 regarding social exclusion and health of the population. Reducing or cutting the subsidy and consequently the service would show total disregard for that Plan.

The attached letter will soon be delivered to every home in Surlingham please act on it to help save the village bus service.

Thank you

St Mary’s Bells

Following the quinquennial inspection of St Mary’s, the architect responsible has expressed concern about the safety of the tower due to apparent cracking of the external masonry and deterioration in the internal beams.
She has said that we must not ring at the moment and must wait for a full structural survey to be carried out by an engineer.
Sadly this means that we cannot ring for the Carol Service on Sunday or on Christmas Day and must wait for the engineer’s report before we plan any more bell ringing at St Mary’s.
