Proposal for 44 new homes in Bawdeswell

The Bawdeswell Parish Council meeting on Monday 6 March will include a new planning application for 44 new homes on the land off Hall Road (Two Fields Way).
 
This is a 22% increase in the number of dwellings on the previous application and, if granted, could put an even greater burden on the village’s limited amenities, according to local residents.
 

Reepham Life grants for community projects

Reepham Life is inviting applications from voluntary organisations and community groups to help fund local projects.
 
Thanks to the generous support received from all our advertisers, publishers Reepham Community Press recorded a small profit in 2016.
 
Last year, we covered all our costs for printing and distribution, and we plan to make the publication bigger, better and even more widely circulated.
 
As we are a not-for-profit social enterprise, we will reinvest any profits we make into worthy community projects and good causes.
 

Danger in cemetery following Storm Doris

The storm of 23 February has left damage in Whitwell Road Cemetery, including on the left hand side facing away from the road, behind the central seat and on the edge of the cleared area.
 
Here a very large branch is hanging by a thread, and in the conifer tree behind another branch is lodged in the canopy. Therefore this area is extremely dangerous, particularly if the winds return.
 
Hazard tape has been put up, but this can blow away. Please avoid this area if at all possible until these matters can be dealt with.
