During my time as your County Councillor, I’ve found that all our Parish Councils have worked hard to make sure that what matters to you has been brought to my attention and therefore to Norfolk County Council.

This has lead to:-

• A new 7.5 ton weight restriction on some local roads
• Safety resurfacing
• Flashing speed signals
• New footpaths in Hainford and Spixworth
• Road junction improvements in Stratton Strawless

At recent Parish Council meetings we’ve talked about the extra cost of gritting and pothole repairs this winter, I’ve also updated everyone on where we see the Unitary Council debate – more on that in the future.

Hainford Parish Council have been considering Broadland planning issues about the siting of any future housing in the village.

I’ve met with Shortthorn Road residents recently to discuss the planning application for traveller homes.
