VILLAGE NEWS
Remembrance Sunday:
Gimingham will be commemorating those men from the village who sacrificed their lives in the wars, at a remembrance service at the church on Sunday 10th November 2024 at 10.45 am. A wreath will be laid to honour their memory. All will be welcome to attend.
Recycling:
Anyone wishing to visit a Norfolk recycling centre from Monday 18 November 2024, must book in advance. Bookings can be made up to seven days ahead either online via the council’s website, or by phoning the customer service centre. The new booking system will be live from Monday 11 November.
Slots are available every fifteen minutes and you can make a booking or cancel one right up until the time of the booking. You will be asked to give the registration number of the vehicle you will be using on the day. Business and trade waste customers will also be asked to provide their waste carriers licence number.
Everyone has to book to drop off waste at the recycling centre, including those arriving on foot or by bicycle. You do not have to book if you only want to visit the Re-use Shop but if you also want to leave waste in the same visit, then you need to book ahead.
Gimingham "Clubhouse" - we are shortly advertising this building for rent and hope to see it back in use in the near future. Any interested parties are invited to contact the Parish Clerk for more details.
Duncan Baker MP - attended the meeting and gave an update on Speeding, Dentists, Flooding, Banking and Mobile Signal. Duncan has also been proactive in assisting the Parish Council in engaging with Highways for an improved drainage system at the top of Gimingham. Members agreed to apply for funding towards a bus shelter at the Pound via the NCC Parish Partnership Scheme. Ed Maxfield our County Councillor kindly agreed to contribute £3k towards this project which is estimated to cost approximately £4,107. This facility has been requested over the years however the funds had not been available to do this. It is hoped that the Council will be successful
in its grant application.
Play equipment - the Council agreed to review the costings for a small see-saw to replace the OXO unit. The cost of this is approximately £1,500 plus VAT.
Please remember everything which the Council spends has to be follow legislation and any works are funded by you the residents via your Precept. We aim to keep the Precept down however, in 2024/2025 due to escalating costs have had to increase the Precept by approximately 10%.
SAM2
The village now owns a SAM2 and this is moved every 4 weeks by members of the Council to try and remind drivers of their speed. If you would like to be involved in this please let us know. SAM2 Speed Comparison Figures for 2022 (XLS).
