Felthorpe Parish Council

NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL proposes to make a Temporary Traffic Order affecting the B1145 Station Road from 65m north of its junction with B1145 Dereham Road for 30m north in the TOWN OF REEPHAM because of street light fault repair work.

The road will be temporarily closed (except for access) from 15^th February 2016 to 19^th February 2016 for the duration of the works, expected to be about 5 days within the period.

The alternative route is via: B1145 Station Road/Dereham Road/Reepham Road/Norwich Road, A1067 Fakenham Road/Main Road/Sparham Hill/ Fakenham Road/Norwich Road/Fakenham Road/Drayton High Road, A140 Boundary Road/Cromer Road/Holt Road, B1149 Holt Road, B1145 Aylsham Road/High Street/Cawston Road. (Attlebridge /Bawdeswell/Cawston/Drayton/Felthorpe/Great Witchingham/Haveringland/Hellesdon/Horsford/Morton on the Hill/ Reepham /Salle/Sparham/Taverham/Weston Longville).

 

Please note that Norfolk County Council will be closing  Breck Farm Lane/Furze Lane from its junction with  Kingswood Avenue in the Taverham to its junction with Reepham Road in Felthorpe to undertake NDR tie-in work.

The road will be closed (except for access), and  subjected to a 30mph speed restriction and an imposition of 3m width restriction from 18^th January 2016 to 30^th April 2017 for the duration of the works, expected to be about 469 days within the period.

 

Felthorpe Parish Council is looking to appoint a grounds maintenance contractor for the next 2-3 years. More details available on the contract document below or contact the clerk on 01603 527095 / [email protected] for additional details.

The closing date for applications is 18 February 2016. Contract start date 1 April 2016.

Grounds Contract

Felthorpe Parish Council has been looking at ways to manage traffic through the village. At the village fete this year we asked residents what their biggest concern were in the village. The answer was inequitably the traffic volume and speed through the village. As a result of this we have approached the Highways Department and have obtained outline approval for a traffic calming scheme in the village.

The proposal is for three road narrowings between Felthorpe car sales and 19 The Street. The road narrowings would give right of way in one direction, similar to those on Costessey Low Road.

As soon as plans are available you will be able to view and comment on them – please check the website regularly for more detail. In the meantime if you have any comments or concerns then please come to any Parish Council meeting or write to our Parish Clerk.

Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 8pm at the Pavilion (with the exception of January). Clerk contact details are [email protected] / 01603 527095.
