  • Parish Council Meeting Agenda

    Hindolveston Parish Council usually meets on the third Thursday of the month (excluding August and December) at 7.30 pm in the Millennium Pavilion.

    Please follow the links below to view the Agenda and the draft Minutes of the previous meeting (which are to be approved).

    Public Attendance and Involvement at Parish Council Meetings

    Members of the public and the press are welcome to attend to witness your council in action.  At an early part of each meeting, the Chair opens the meeting to the visiting public for input. This means there is no fixed agenda for this part. Points raised will be noted and if matters can be resolved there and then, all the better. For more significant matters, i.e. ones that may require further research and possibly a formal decision, it is unlikely that the Parish Council can or will deal with them at that time.

    All members of the community are reminded that they are represented by the Parish Councillors so if they want the Parish Council to deal with a matter in a more structured way, then a more formal approach is advised. One option to ‘make your voice heard’ is to liaise with one of the Parish Councillors well before the a meeting, to request that an appropriate agenda item is included for the next meeting.

    Other than this open phase of the meeting, the public are not expected to intervene unless the Chair specifically asks for input.

  • Upcoming Film: The Farewell, Saturday 21st March 2020

    A beautifully bittersweet drama of a Chinese-American family who discover their beloved Grandmother has only a short while left to live, but decide to keep her in the dark, and schedule an impromptu wedding in China to gather family before she passes. In this funny, uplifting tale, there’s a heartfelt celebration of the family, masterfully interweaving a gentle humour of a good lie in action, with a moving story of what can unite us.

  • Upcoming Film: Balloon, Saturday 7th March 2020

     

    A German language film set in 1979 East Germany, during the height of the Cold War – two ordinary families, yearning for freedom, secretly form a great escape plan to get across to the West, to fly over the Iron Curtain in a self-made hot-air balloon, built with small pieces of cloth stitched together. A failed attempt sets off a dangerous race against time, with the State Police now hot on their heels… a gripping true story of resistance.

  • Notice: Reporting Potholes

    Next time the wheel alignment of your car is completely thrown out by a pot hole, don’t just think that someone should report it – you can do it for yourself. This is done on on-line via the Norfolk County Council (NCC) website (Highways Division) by clicking here. It is not necessary to register for an on-line account with the NCC beforehand, but if you do you will be updated on progress of the problem. The process is straightforward and takes less than 2 minutes and involves answering a few questions about the location, size and nature of the offending potholes.

    Alternatively, you could report it at the next Parish Council meeting, thereby creating a potential delay of one to two months depending on the timing of the next meeting, by which time your car may have been damaged by the same pothole because it has become twice the size!!

  • Public Notice: Scam Email TV Licensing Direct Debit Request

    Below is the image of a ‘dodgy’ email provided by a village resident in mid September 2019 and it’s worth having a look at some of the tell-tale signs that this is a spam email – see below for the clues and explanations. 

    My advice is always, if you think something is suspicious do not click any links, take a few minutes to check the source email address and look for other signs (see below). You can cross check with any paperwork you have from the stated organisation and independently use a search engine to research it.

    1. This is a Direct debit request so the alarm bells should ring straight away. If you are not sure, check the direct debits you have set up with your bank, either on-line or using phone numbers you have been given by your bank (these can be found on your bank cards).

    2. The email has a Belgian origin i.e. ‘be‘. You might ask yourself why an email with Belgian roots should be badgering you about your UK TV licence payments.

    3. The date format used is US/ Asian style: mm/dd/yyyy where as the UK style is dd/mm/yyyy and is more often written in full rather than using numbers.

    4. The spelling of license is another give-away as this is the US spelling. The UK spell it with a second ‘c’ i.e. licence.

    5. The email is addressed to another email address rather than a named recipient which is very, very unusual if the message was genuine.

    6. As the email is about a TV licence, a genuine message would include a reference to your licence number which is 10 digits long.

  • Report: Hindol Tea Dance 13th September 2019

    A good time was had by all at the Village Hall 1940’s Tea Dance in September.  Many thanks go to Mike and Alison Thomas of the Old Bakery B&B for organising the event.  They were inspired by their regular guests, John & Lorna, who stay every year for the Holt & Sheringham 40’s weekend. They provided the decorations for the hall and came along and danced all evening.  DJ Major Swing and Kitty were inspiring (and patient) teachers of some of the wartime dances including the St Bernard’s Waltz, the Foxtrot and the Palais Glide.

    Everyone dressed up for the occasion and some did so in 1940’s attire.  Judging for the Best Dressed Couple was difficult, with some very well turned out dancers.  The prize went to sailor and landgirl, George and Pearl Kemp.  Tea and cake were well received and the bar did a good trade, too. The event raised £266 for the village hall extension fund and put a smile on many faces.

    If you would like to organise a fundraising event for the village hall, please contact one of the committee and we’ll be happy to help out.
