The Clerk has a new batch of “No Cold Calling “ Stickers for residents to display on their front doors and windows, if you would like any please phone Pauline or drop into the office (details at the foot of the page) Monday to Thursday AM.

If you see any potholes, damaged pavements  etc, you can either report these to the Clerk  or go direct to Norfolk County Councils Highway’s website problem report form.

Sadly we have to report another theft that has occurred regarding our flower displays.

A conifer and bedding plants were stolen from our tub at the entrance to Fir Close by the bus stop.

These displays are for the residents and visitors in Mundford to enjoy, they are not planted for people to help themselves to.

If you see anyone acting suspicious around our displays please let the Clerk know (in confidence) by telephoning the number at the foot of the page.

The Parish Councillors and your Clerk Pauline, would like to thank our volunteers who came along to join the litter pick on the 8^th June, your help is very much appreciated by all.

I would also like to thank the lady that took the time to thank me whilst I was picking up the litter on that day (in St Leonard’s Street), it’s very encouraging to know we are appreciated.

We meet approximately every 6 weeks so if you have an hour or so to spare and would like to join our team please contact me.

Pauline Angus, Clerk to the Council and Responsible Financial Officer

Motorists who get behind the wheel under the influence of drink or drugs will be targeted by police as officers take part in a month-long campaign.

Police in Norfolk and Suffolk will be carrying out extra patrols as part of the summer drink drive campaign throughout June; breathalysing any driver who is stopped due to concerns over the manner of their driving, a vehicle defect or anyone involved in a collision.

This year’s campaign coincides with the European Championships 2016 and football fans are urged not to risk drink driving if heading out to watch matches.

Chief Inspector Kris Barnard, head of the joint Roads Policing and Firearms Operations Unit, said: “We target suspected drink and drug drivers all year round but this campaign allows us to raise awareness of the dangers, which a minority of motorists still chose to ignore.

“This year’s campaign coincides with Euro 2016 and while watching matches is very social, either down the pub or going round a friend’s house, we would urge people not to be tempted to drink and drive.

The campaign will run from Wednesday 1 June until Thursday 30 June and involves targeted roadside activities by roads policing officers with support from uniformed officers across both counties.

Last year (2015) nearly 200 motorists were caught drink driving in Norfolk and Suffolk while 26 drivers failed roadside drug tests. In total 194 motorists provided positive breath tests, 78 in Norfolk and 116 in Suffolk, with three people in Norfolk and 23 in Suffolk failing roadside drug tests.

This Planning Application has been submitted to Breckland District Council planning department. The notice is displayed on the front gate of Lynford Hall.
