PUBLIC FORUM.

At a meeting of the Parish council the matter of participation by parishioners in the business of meetings was discussed.

Whilst Council welcomed participation from parishioners at the meeting it was recognized that it needed to be better planned.

Council decided that only items which were incorporated into the agenda would be discussed at a meeting.

To ensure that a topic might be discussed at a particular meeting, Parishioners should make direct contact with either the Clerk (bob.pannell1@btopenworld.com) or a Councillor at least ten days before the meeting; the item may then be placed on the agenda and Councillors would have the opportunity to inform themselves about the item before the meeting.

Any other matters would be held over until the next formal meeting of the Parish Council.

(See above the dates for planned meetings of the Parish Council)

Matters may be raised at any time by contacting any of the Councillors, or the Clerk. Such matters will be dealt with as necessary within the constraints described above.

Contact details for each of the members of the Parish Council may be seen here

Note that meeting agendas are published on this website ahead of meetings.

Old Parish Council Records

Does anyone know where the Parish Council records for the last century might be? They’re not with our present or previous clerks, nor at the Norfolk Records Office. Any ideas? They could be of historical interest.

If you have any information about the old records please contact the Parish Clerk
