Today the BBC have released an article mentioning Surlingham by name in a project to upgrade broadband to fast fibre to the premises (high speed broadband). It’s unusual as we are sometimes the last place to get new technology!

County Broadband have been approached for comment but have not yet replied.
If you see a pothole, please report it online. Don’t pass by and leave it for someone else to report.
Go on to the Norfolk County Council website and report it here
You will receive an enquiry number and can also choose the option to receive updates on the pothole you reported.
You can send Vic Thompson (07973 113260) the enquiry number if you don’t think anything is being done to mend the pothole.

Go worm charming this May, and contribute to our citizen science project to understand soil health.
Did you know that healthy soils have more worms? Our annual Worm Hunt is back, and you can get involved by charming worms to the surface and counting them, all to help us build a better picture of the state of UK soils.
The UK public has gone worm-mad this May, with our Worm Hunt being featured in The Guardian, the Metro, and on ITV’s This Morning!
Worms can be charmed to the surface by vibrations caused by anything from dancing to twanging garden forks. Taking part is easy and fun, and the perfect way for grown-ups and children alike to learn about the soil.
Register for a Worm Hunt and you’ll receive a handy digital guide to worm charming. The guide will help you identify common types of UK earthworm, and provide some excellent tips on how to bring worms up to the surface to say ‘hello’.
Don’t forget to report your findings by 31st May, and happy charming!
The Worm Hunt Team
