The Parish Council has received the following notice from the Norfolk Police.
Recently there has been several incidents of bogus water board officials tricking their way into houses by saying that they need to check the water pressure and then stealing money from within the premises.
Please remember the following three points:
(1) You do not need to open your door to anyone.
(2) Make sure your chain is on if you do answer the door and vet any caller.
(3) Check that the caller is genuine.
Please be vigilant and look out for bogus callers targeting the vulnerable and report incidents on 999 giving descriptions and vehicle registration numbers if possible.
The Parish Council has received the following notice from STANTA.
In the interest of good community relations STANTA wish to inform Mundford Parish Council that they are being forced to close the Mundford to Wretham road, where it enters the training area, between the period 1800hrs (6 pm) to 0600hrs (6 am) each day with effect from 1st September 2015. They have not made this decision lightly but over the past few months there has been a substantial increase in the number of civilian vehicle incursions in to the training area and the risk of an accident, particularly during live firing, has reached unacceptable levels. They know that a few members of each community do see that road as a shortcut and they will undoubtedly be disappointed but STANTA have a ‘duty of care’ to keep the public safe.
On behalf of Mundford Parish Council and the Residents of Mundford I would like to say a huge thankyou to our volunteer litter pickers that show up come rain or shine to pick up the litter within the village and the roads leading out of Mundford, without their help we could not keep our village looking so pretty, clean and tidy. Our last litter pick was on Wednesday 5th August and at least 15 bulging bags were collected along with other debris such as out of date signs for local events. We also collected rubbish that was placed in the grit bin up by Impson Way on the A134 so a quick reminder again to all that our grit bins are not rubbish bins.
Mundford Parish Council is always looking for more people to join our existing group of volunteer litter pickers. We meet every 6 to 8 weeks and all equipment is supplied, so if you have 1 to 2 hours to spare and would like to join us please contact your Parish Clerk Pauline.
