The additional play equipment has been installed at the park on Coltishall Lane which includes a new set of swings, a wheelchair access roundabout, a multiplay area and skateboard facilities.
New gates for the entrance on Coltishall Lane are on order and these will include a self-closing pedestrian gate. Initial response to this new facility has been very favourable and it is being well used.
The Council still has access to some funding as a result of the development off Manor Road and they continue to evaluate future projects.
Street cleaning by Broadland DC is no longer on a fixed schedule. The latest contract means that streets are inspected regularly and then swept on a perceived priority rather than sweeping something where there is no need.
Overhanging hedges become an increasing problem at this time of year, particularly after such wet weather and residents are asked to give consideration to neighbours and passing pedestrians and to keep their hedges cut back.
Three vacancies remain on the Council which has powers to co-opt. Any resident who may wish to be considered should contact the Clerk for an informal discussion on what is involved.
