• Council Tax Support scheme consultation

    The consultation for the 2020/2021 Council Tax Support scheme is now open and can be found at www.west-norfolk.gov.uk/ctsconsultation

    As in previous years, the council is keen to hear views on the scheme from as many of its residents as possible. It would be a great help if you could encourage people in your area to have a look at the details and complete the questionnaire, and also let us have any comments you may have.

    Full details of the Council Tax Support scheme are available on the website or you can contact me directly if you need any further information. Paper copies of the questionnaire are available on request.

    Many thanks in advance for your help.

  • County Tree Survey – Ash Die-back

    Shouldham Tree Owners – If you own a tree and particularly an Ash that borders the highway please take the time to read on…

    We are in the process of carrying out inspections of roadside trees and we may be surveying in your parish on smaller, rural roads known as class 4A2. The primary focus of the inspections is to identify ash trees that are in decline due to ash dieback disease (ADB) and assess whether they are now posing a risk to highway users. We may also pick up other trees that are in a dead or dangerous condition. For further information on ADB please visit our webpage: www.norfolk.gov.uk/ashdieback

     

    This summer, our approach is to remind landowners that ‘their trees are their responsibility’ and to raise awareness of ash dieback disease. If trees are found in poor condition but not considered imminently dangerous we are fixing notices to the trunks of trees and marking the trees with yellow paint to inform the owner that they may need to take action.

     

    We may contact you in future if we find any particular areas of concern or have a query regarding ownership of an individual tree or tree group.

     

    Should you need any further information or have any queries concerning the above, please visit our webpage or contact us at ashdieback@norfolk.gov.uk

     

    Many thanks, kind regards

  • Quarry Latest – Jul 19

    The draft consultation has been published and can be read in it’s entirety at https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/what-we-do-and-how-we-work/policy-performance-and-partnerships/policies-and-strategies/minerals-and-waste-planning-policies/norfolk-minerals-and-waste-local-plan-review

    For ease the AOS E and SIL02 aspects have been extracted, it is a long read but I recommend you familiarise yourself with it in detail ahead of the County Council Meeting on 5 Aug when it is likely this will be approved for public consultation with a 6 week window. CATSS will be assisting in advising with possible grounds of Objection for you to consider.

    Shouldham Parish Council in conjunction with Marham Parish Council agreed a joint meeting to be held in the Marham Village Hall at 7.15pm on 4 Sep where it is hoped that experts will be in attendance to answer your queries.
