Notes from Reepham Town Council meeting on 13 March

A grant of £150 was awarded to the Reepham Classic Car Festival, which will take place on Sunday 29 September.

It was agreed that the King’s Arms and Reepham Festival can fence off half of the Market Place to allow for bands to play on Sunday 11 August. Music will be finished by 6 pm.

There are a small number of vacant allotment plots on the Fiddler’s Field site. Please contact the town clerk to express your interest.

A request was received, via the local MP, to install an additional streetlight in the town. Any decision to install additional lights would need to be made in a town-wide consultation. The town council does not have any plans currently to add additional lighting to the town.

Ørsted, which is currently installing an offshore wind farm electricity cable corridor through the area, has offered to attend a meeting. It has asked for questions in advance, so if anyone is interested in attending a meeting and asking a question, please contact the clerk (details below) by Wednesday 10 April. If there is enough interest, Ørsted will be invited to a meeting.

The next town council meeting will take place on Wednesday 10 April at 7.30 pm at Stimpson’s Piece pavilion, Bartle Court, Reepham, followed by the Stimpson’s Piece Trustee meeting.

The town hall and Stimpson’s Piece pavilion are available to hire. Please contact the town clerk on 01603 873355 or email for availability and prices.
