Cawston Parish Council is actively working with Hornsea 3, together with the local MP, Jerome Mayhew, and the county and district councils, to mitigate the impact of wind farm construction traffic in and around the village.
 
Construction work on the onshore cable route is due to start in April and reach Cawston around June.
 
The parish council is waiting for final details of proposed traffic numbers and the construction schedule.
 
The parish council is also engaging with the Planning Inspectorate hearings on the application by the Sheringham Shoal and Dudgeon Extension Projects, with the onshore cables due to pass just east of Cawston. These hearings began in January and will continue until July.
 
Meanwhile, the parish council will be discussing ideas for projects within the parish using community benefit funds, and residents are invited to come up with any ideas for projects.
 
Community groups and individuals are encouraged to prepare their own applications and the parish council will support any viable projects.
 
The council continues to meet with potential funders and is working with other groups in the village.
 
Information regarding the community benefit fund can be found on the parish council’s website and Facebook page.
 
Cawston Parish Council is made up of 11 members, all of whom give up their time to serve the local community.
 
The parish council meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 pm in the village hall, High Street.
 
All parishioners are welcome to attend and there is an item on the agenda when members of the public can raise issues they wish to be considered.
 
At its January meeting the parish council set the budget for the next financial year, deciding to make no increase in the parish precept.
