Meanwhile, vice chairman Jack Mortimer has resigned from the Council, which still leaves five vacancies.
 
Reepham Town Council should have 12 elected members representing the town. Meetings are held at 7.30 pm on the second Wednesday of each month (excluding August) in the Town Hall.
 

Phil and Bev Shaw are leaving The Crown, Ollands Road, Reepham, after six years as landlords.
 
To see them off in style, Simon Wilkinson (No Frills) will play live throughout the evening of Saturday 8 October, offering a night of rock, punk and new wave, and a chance to celebrate their times at The Crown.
 
The Shaws last day (and night) as pub tenants will be on Sunday 9 October, when all loyal customers and friends old and new are invited to “come along and help drink the pub dry”.
 

A planning application (no. 20161486) has been submitted to Broadland District Council for a change of use of the former Euronics Bennetts of Reepham electrical store at 18 School Road, Reepham, to a dog grooming salon.
 
Lindsay Fitzhugh of Bawdeswell, who runs MutzKutz Professional Dog Groomers & Pawtique, hopes to open in early October. The proposed opening times are 9.30 am – 5 pm, Monday to Saturday.
 

On Saturday 24 September there will be a craft fair at St Michaels from 10 am – 4 pm and a party of bellringers will be ringing the bells of St Michael's from 3-4 pm.
 
On the same day there will also be a wedding at St Mary's at  3 pm, which will include the use of horse-drawn transport that may come via Church Street.
 
Clearly with these three events coinciding there is potential for traffic congestion in Church Hill, Market Place (east) and Church Street. Drivers may wish to avoid this area, otherwise to proceed with great caution and allow for delay.
