Tree hazard in Norwich Road cemetery

Submitted by Digger on

During the last few weeks, large portions of two red chestnut trees at the far end of Norwich Road (disused) cemetery have fallen in high winds. A third tree is still standing, but is dangerous. These are the trees that line the end boundary behind the seat. They will be removed when possible, but while the stormy weather continues please take great care in this area. The other trees in this cemetery have all been examined and certified safe.

Added congestion in the Market Place on 11 November

Submitted by Digger on

Wednesday 11 November is the day that the Mobile Hearing Clinic comes to the Market Place, meaning that two spaces need to be set aside, the other one being for the Reepham Rover as usual. However, we have now been told that a large Radio Norfolk vehicle will also be present for the first half of the morning and will require additional space as well. So there will be even fewer parking spaces than usual,from 6.00 up until about 9.30 or so.
