  • Changes to Elections

    The UK Government is implementing significant changes to the current electoral system. The Elections Act 2022 outlines several measures which will affect the way that we vote and how elections are conducted

    One of the biggest changes will be the requirement for individuals to show photographic identification (such as a passport or drivers licence) when they vote at a polling station.

    The web page below provide a summary of what is known so far. Further information will be published throughout 2023.The first changes will come into force for the District and Parish elections in May 2023.
  • Village Sign

    Where has the village sign gone?

    The Parish Council is sprucing up the sign by having it re-enameled. We will also be replacing the post and repointing the brickwork giving the village sign a whole new lease of life.

    Keep an eye out for when it returns and let us know what you think!

  • Book of Condolence for Queen Elizabeth II

  • Norwich Western Link Pre-Planning Application Public Consultation

    A public consultation on Norfolk County Council’s Norwich Western Link project will launch in August, with people being invited to give their views on proposals before the planning application is finalised and submitted.

    The Norwich Western Link is a new 3.9 mile dual carriageway road that would connect the A1270 Broadland Northway to the A47 west of Norwich. As well as improving travel between these two major routes, the new road would tackle traffic congestion and delays on the local road network and in communities, and prevent them from worsening due to planned housing and job growth in Greater Norwich.

    The Pre-Planning Application Public Consultation will launch on Monday 15 August and will close eight weeks later, at midnight on Sunday 9 October.

    Four consultation events will be held during the consultation period, with information on display and members of the project team available to discuss the proposals and answer questions. These events will be held at:

    • Barnham Broom Village Hall on Friday 2 September (12 – 8pm)
    • The Costessey Centre on Friday 9 September (1 – 8pm)
    • Weston Longville Hall for All on Thursday 15 September (12 – 8pm)
    • Felthorpe Village Hall on Thursday 22 September (12 – 8pm)

    There will also be opportunities for people to speak to members of the project team about the proposals via bookable online and phone appointments. Once the consultation launches, people will be able to view information on the proposals via the Norwich Western Link webpage and fill in an online questionnaire. Email and postal responses will also be accepted.

    The planning application for the project is due to be submitted next year. Subject to gaining necessary statutory approvals, construction of the Norwich Western Link is scheduled to get underway in late 2024 with the road open for use in late 2026.
