Surlingham

The organisers of the Sailing Club are extremely concerned at the number of people – including young children – swimming from the sailing club area. The tides in this area are strong and there is also the danger of entanglement in the abundant growth of underwater plants and weeds, often unseen. There is also a lot of boat traffic on the river – likely to increase during the summer holidays – and spotting an unexpected swimmer in the water can be difficult. In short swimming from the Sailing Club could be dangerous and should be avoided.

Thank you to everyone who registered their interest, Surlingham Parish Council was very pleased by the number of responses. The Parish Council are now looking to progress this and are asking parishioners if they could take the time to complete this three question survey please (click the link below) . The survey will take less than one minute of your time. Thank you.

Thought this might be of interest to the villagers who are interested in the cuckoos that visit every year. These birds are tracked on their migration. There is one cuckoo local to us-he’s called Michael and there’s a mug shot of him too. I’m finding it fascinating.

The Wherryman’s way stakeholder update run jointly by NCC and the Broads Authority took place on 22-6-23. NCC reported that the bid for additional CIL funding had been unsuccessful. NCC are now scoping options in order to optimise work against the current budget on the River Chet and Bramerton FP5 sections. NCC are seeking alternative funding to complete the project. CIL funding is for capital works so though this is a concern for the longer term it should not inhibit feasibility work against Surlingham FP1. Costings for the repairs to Bramerton FP5 are to be used to model potential costs for for the works required to repair Surlingham FP1 but feasibility work considering other options has no other dependency on the wider project. The request to manage the Surlingham FP1 feasibility as a parallel activity is being pursued offline. The next update is scheduled for 28th Sept 23.
