Hindolveston Village

  • Village Noticeboard – Public Usage @ June 2017

    The public use of the village noticeboard (situated in the bus shelter at the junction between The Street and Foulsham Road) was discussed at the June 2017 Parish Council meeting. It was clarified that the Parish Council does not want to impose any restrictions on its use. It follows that anyone can use the noticeboard to publicise an event, advertise services, advertise items for sale etc. and no prior permission is needed.

    The Council encourages the public to use the right hand side of the noticeboard only as the left hand side is needed to post Council related material and asks that notices are removed as soon as they become irrelevant.

    The Council advises that great care is taken when gaining access to the noticeboard as the doors are hinged at the bottom, so the door frames must be lowered carefully. Similarly, users must ensure the doors are closed securely afterwards. In all instances, safe use of the noticeboard is the responsibility of the people wishing to use it. Any problems or faults with the structure of the noticeboard and/or the notices posted, should be reported to the Parish Clerk in the first instance.

  • Highways Maintenance – Local Area Teams

    The Community and Environmental Services department of Norfolk County Council (NCC), which covers Highways, has recently sent a letter to Town and Parish Councils to inform them of a reorganisation of our Local Highways Maintenance Teams. This can be downloaded here.

    For the purposes of highways maintenance, Norfolk is divided into a North, West and South zone, each with sectors. As far as Hindolveston is concerned, it is in North 1 sector and is under the remit of Mr Steve White who is based in Aylsham. A map showing the regional sectors can be downloaded here.

    Reporting a Problem with the Roads

    Highways advise that the best way to report a problem is via the Roads and Transport section of the NCC website, the click on ‘Report a problem’. If you would like to track the status of your report you will need to create a customer account if you have not already registered or sign in to your existing customer account before reporting.

    Registering is straight forward but not absolutely necessary to report a problem. The advantage of registering is that you can return to the website later to track progress.

     

     

  • Storm Doris – Prep for Possible Power Loss

    From UK Power  Networks @ Wed 22nd Feb 2017

    You may have seen that bad weather is on the way and we are likely to see high winds in parts of the East of England tomorrow (Thursday, 23 February).

    Our electricity network is built to be resilient but extreme weather can damage overhead power lines resulting in some customers losing their electricity supply.  Where this happens we work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible, and we have organised for additional staff in our contact centre and more engineers on the ground to be available to help customers whose electricity supply might be affected by the predicted weather.

    You will be able to find regular updates on our website www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk and social media @ukpowernetworks throughout this period.

    Anyone experiencing a power cut should:

    UK Power Networks has a Priority Service Register for customers who may be more vulnerable and require extra assistance in a power cut. You can find out more information on our website: ukpowernetworks.co.uk/priority.

    We advise people to stay clear of power lines and report damaged power lines immediately by calling 105 – free to call from a landline or a mobile phone. If they see electricity lines that are down or causing significant risk to the public they should call 999.

    Preparing for a power cut

    Below is some additional advice on how you can prepare for a power cut:

    • Keep our freephone number handy
    • See the website for some useful videos offering you advice during a power cut.
    • Keep spare batteries for radios and torches – local radio stations often broadcast helpful information
    • Keep an old-fashioned corded phone which you can plug in, as cordless phones won’t work in the event of a power cut
    • Take care if using candles, tea-lights and other naked flames
    • Keep fridges and freezers closed, with a blanket over as they will stay cold for many hours
    • Switch off all your electrical equipment, except one light which will let you know when the power comes back on
    • Remember the street lights may also be off so take care if you go out
    • Look out for elderly neighbours and other vulnerable people; please consider taking them round a flask of hot water or hot food
