New Chemotherapy Ward at Cromer Hospital
Supporters of North Norfolk Knitters and Stitchers have been raising funds to help equip the new chemotherapy ward to be opened at Cromer Hospital late 2019 or early 2020.
It will be amazing to have this facility in our area and it will make such a difference to so many people. The opening of a chemotherapy ward in Cromer will be of tremendous benefit to the residents of North Norfolk who at present need to travel to the N and N Hospital in Norwich.
On 7 December cheques totalling £1175 were presented to Shirley
Anne Poole (eBay seller), Shirley Davies, Chairman of Friends of Cromer Hospital and Kate Davis, Area Organiser of North Norfolk Knitters

Panto Success at Northrepps
Northrepps first ever Pantomime was a real success
On Friday 7 and Saturday 8 December, Jack and the Beanstalk was seen by a very happy audience of over 300 adults and children at the capacity sold out performances.
Northrepps Village Hall was beautifully transformed into a magical theatre by Blackout, the company that supplied the lighting, rig, and theatre drapes. Super talented Rachel Lamb, made and painted all the scenery and props, which bought the pantomine to life.
The adaptation written by Gavin Smith, starred a cast of colourful characters all wonderfully portrayed by local residents. He wrote the script to reflect historical village references and people, bringing a quirky and humorous version of the original fairy tale.
The show included songs and dance plus choral narration lead by Top Banana’s front man Dave Burns.
Based in the mystical village of Toprepps, we saw Jack and his mother struggling against increasing rent and an even bigger bar bill! Along comes a dancing cow and a mysterious character looking for the coffee mecca of Cromer! The plot thickens with a giant beanstalk that grows to the rafters during a magical dream sequence with twinkling stars and little dancers from Georgie Prior’s dance school, ‘Live and let Dance’. Havoc ensues when Jack steals a Golden gallus plough from the giant. But in true panto style it all ends well, with Jack and his mother growing solid gold potatoes.
If you didn’t catch the shows you, can still see it by ordering a full length video recording from northreppspanto@gmail.com
Thanks to the kind sponsorship from Cromer Carpets and the services, skills and time from the many people involved, the pantomime raised £916.30 for Northrepps Village Community Trust.
Diabetes UK North Norfolk Group
It is with great sadness that following the resignation of some Officers and Committee Members and our inability to find someone to take over these positions we have had to make the regrettable decision to put the group ‘on hold’. No meetings or fundraising will take place during 2019.
Mick Greenhalf will stay as Chairman and Jackie Greenhalf as Treasurer, in name only, just to keep the group open and with the hope that we can find some willing volunteers to take the group forward and carry on its good work but if no one is found by the end of 2019 then the group will officially close.
If you or anyone you know would like to take up this challenge please contact the Eastern Volunteering Team on 01376 501390 or email eastern@diabetes.org.uk

Cromer Women’s Institute
We met in the Community Hall on 13 December and our 46 members and 2 visitors were in festive mood.
We were entertained by Pip Jenkinson who sang songs from shows including My Fair Lady, Oliver and Cats. She was accompanied by John playing a keyboard. Pip finished with a medley of Christmas songs which we all joined in with. We were then treated to mince pies, sausage rolls, cakes and savoury nibbles during our tea break.
As we resumed the meeting, we gave congratulations to our member Monica Gepp who won 1st prize in the wreath competition on our behalf held during the Christmas Tree Festival in the Parish Church earlier in the month.
Our WI hosted a Christmas Celebration for the WI’s in the Noreaster group in the church on 11 December which was very enjoyable. Each WI chose a Carol and a Christmas reading, in true WI tradition this was followed by tea and mince pies.
Our competition was an item beginning with the letter F. Judy Roberts was 1st with a ceramic Father Christmas, Liz Holehouse was 2nd with an ornate fan and 3rd place was another delicate fan from Irene Nutt.
Six members received a posy of flowers to celebrate their birthdays this month.
Our President Pru Mead wished all the members a very Happy Christmas and as we left to go home, we were all given a Secret Santa present to put under our Christmas tree.
Street Collection for Cromer Christmas Lights A street collection permit issued to Mr T A Harding for Cromer town centre from 4pm - 8pm on Saturday 1 December 2018 for the Cromer Christmas Lights fund. The total amount collected was £477.37. There were no expenses or payments incurred with this collection.
The committee are very grateful to all the public who supported and contributed to this and the other various fund raising events which were organised over the three day period. We would also thank many local shops and businesses who provided prizes and donations to enable us to repair/update and renew all the lights and set pieces which provide the excellent display which lights up Cromer at Christmas. There are currently 25 to 30 volunteers who contribute in so many ways. All the wiring and bulbs have to be checked, repairs carried out and updates made to meet legal requirements. Then the lights have to be put up, not an easy task with all the traffic and pedestrians to control, this takes five to six days followed Daytime 07736 516644 with the job of taking them down and storing in a way that enables the task to be Evening 01263 663042 repeated the following Christmas. Over the past three years over £30,000 has been No Job too or too spent to achieve the display Cromer Bathrooms - Kitchens now enjoys. We are very lucky to have excellent volunteers who work extremely Fencing - Carpentry hard raising fund and finding grants and Electrics - Plumbing donations where ever possible, hopefully this will continue so Cromer Christmas Tiling - Decorating lights brighten our nights in future years.

WHY CHOOSE WHY CHOOSE SILVER & WARD WARD SILVER SOLICITORS in in 2019? 20 19 ? SOLICITORS
“It’s a recurrent misconception that a larger firm is better.”
I am Clare Mayell and I own Silver and Ward Solicitors in Sheringham. I am an extremely competent and experienced solicitor. I appreciate that any time of the year can be a difficult time for many people to resolve legal issues of worry and concern, for example, making a will or Lasting Power of Attorney. As I have worked for 2 larger local firms I know what clients want and expect. My charges are significantly less than other solicitors in North Norfolk or Norwich and I provide 22 years of expertise and exceptional service. I pride myself in being one of the only solicitors who offffers a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT, so clients can come in and obtain some initial advice and discuss costs and then make an informed decision. At a larger firm you just pay more. When a client rings or walks through the door they invariably get to speak to me as this personal and direct approach is important to my clients and I. I ensure complete confidentiality is an absolute priority. I advise new clients to “shop around” as I know that my charges are significantly less than other solicitors but I can offer the same expertise, if not better. I have and can act for clients across Norrffolk and the Country as we now have the use of Skype, emails etc. so it enables me to act for clients further afield. The reason that clients, near and far, instruct Silver and Ward is because of my expertise, exceptional service and competitive costs.
“I would say to any potential client with a legal issue or worry in 2019 to come and meet me face to face for a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT, as you have nothing to lose but all to gain.
Home visits can be arranged or appointments outside of office hours including Saturdays. 0 1263 8 23465 or email clare@silverandward.co.uk 01263 823465

THE STRAND CLUB
raffled.
Our Christmas party included a buffet lunch. Entertainment should have been by an Elvis impersonator but unfortunately he had doublebooked himself and so was unable to come.
After a period of socialising Jackie then read out a different version of the 12 days of Christmas, which made us laugh, followed by a list of unknown facts about the festive season, which made us think.
We then sat in a circle, each with a small gift, and Jackie read out a story. Every time she said "right" we passed the presents to the right until she either said "right" again (when we'd continue in the same direction) or "left" when we would change. Some of us were spending too much time laughing to follow the story and some of us were busy complaining of aching arms! It went at quite a pace. Once the story was over we could unwrap the presents we were left with, which was funny as some of us had two or three and some had none!
It was then time to attack the amazing buffet provided by our members. It was a beautiful spread and we thank everyone for their donations. Some The Little Gem of Norfolk members donated raffle prizes instead New Quality Fruit & Vegetable Hall at Groveland of food and the lovely White Potatoes £7.90 ~ Reds £8.80 25kg Bags table decoration made by Jackie was also 30 Free Range eggs £1.90
Jackie had been her usual efficient self and had organised several fun things to take his place. First there was a short quiz with cryptic clues as to what we might eat at Christmas - harder than one might think! The clue for dates was appointments which wasn't too difficult but when asked for the opposite of a French stick a lot of us thought long and hard without coming up with an answer - which was, apparently, shortbread!
Later she read out a series of children's quotes about love - for instance, "Love is when Mummy gives Daddy the best bits of turkey", but one of the most heartrending was from a 4 year old who saw his neighbour sitting in his garden crying after his wife had died. The little boy went next door and sat on his knee and when he came home his mother asked him what he had said to the man. His reply? "Nothing. I was just helping him cry".

It was a marvellous party - many people said so - and a fantastic end to a very good year. Chris thanked Jackie for being such an outstanding chairman and she was given loud applause and a voucher to spend.
Our next meeting will be our New Year lunch at the Amber Restaurant in Cromer Country Club which we are all looking forward to. The next meeting where we can welcome visitors is on 13 February at the Sports Pavilion. As always it will begin at 2 pm and cost £2 entrance to include light refreshments. It will consist of a talk by a representative of Co-op Estate Planning, advising us about wills, power of attorney and much more besides. All are welcome so please come along and see if you like us!

Cost-effective special skin rejuvenation options from Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic
Winter is the best time to start looking after our skin and to start the skin renewal and regeneration program. Here we are providing a selection of our treatment that can be carried out on a budget. There is something to suit every budget so hopefully you will find something that you like!
Simplest solution is to start with medical grade skin products. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to spend a lot of money on products such as moisturisers, sun protection and vitamin A, C or E-based skin creams. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure what is best for you come and see our trained therapists who can devise a skincare program for you. Lunch-time gentle treatments We offer simple skin renewal treatments, which really are pleasant and enjoyable procedures such as light emitting diodes, microdermabrasion and chemical peels. A gentle vacuum sucks your skin while the diamonds gently abrade and polish it. Skin resurfacing can reduce the effects of aging on our skin. Skin resurfacing is a treatment that improves wrinkles, skin texture and colour by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and vibrant. Skin resurfacing also stimulates the elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance. We are offering 3 for 2 on this very popular treatment for skin brightening, pigmentation or acne. A saving of ÂŁ 65 Laser skin toning Next step up are laser toning and brightening packages, which are again being offered on a discount. Laser Toning was designed to combat the effects of aging in a softer, gentler way. It uses a revolutionary process that delivers the laser energy through your skins surface, to gently stimulate the production of collagen while protecting the outer layer of your skin. The new collagen softens the appearance of aging skin. Unlike laser and chemical peels, Laser-Toning does not resurface the skin. It simply tightens your skin to diminish the appearance of wrinkles. You can now save ÂŁ 250 over a package of 5 sessions. Radiofrequency skin tightening If it is lifting of skin jowls and jawline that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re after but do not want surgical treatment RF skin tightening may just be the treatment youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. Extensive surgical facelift is becoming a rarity. Thanks to modern technology, sun-protection and awareness, we find people are maintaining their youthful looks for longer. Patients love the treatments because they are comfortable without pain medication or numbing creams. With this technique, patients see some instant improvement with increased collagen regeneration and skin firmness that becomes visible over the next 3 to 4 months and continues for up to 12 months. It can tighten loose skin on any area of the body such as tummy and arms and can be used with ultrasound to reduce areas of localized fat that cannot be improved with diet or exercise. You can now try this for a generous 20% off the full price. You can book up to three sessions or try one. Dermal fillers If your heart is set on dermal fillers, but you do not have the budget to afford multiple syringes we have a very effective skin booster program for you. We recommend 3 sessions of treatment and you can save ÂŁ 150 over a course of 3 sessions.
Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic is your one stop shop for all your skin care needs. Voted best skincare clinic in Norfolk, we have something for everyone. From facials to surgical facelifts.
Call 01603 736487 or log on to the website www.coltishallclinic.co.uk to see our latest special offers.

2019 probate court fee hike is taxation by the back door
by Miranda Marshall, Director, Hayes + Storr Adam Smith, the founder of modern economic principles and the darling of many right of centre politicians, established the three essential duties of government. In his 1776 ‘The Wealth of Nations’ he stated these to be national defence, administration of justice (law and order) and the provision of public works and the public institutions that facilitate trade.
The government’s justification for the proposed hike in probate court fees is ‘access to justice’. They argue the need to raise funds for an effective court and tribunal service. They are expecting a group of vulnerable people (the bereaved) to pay to run the court system. In doing so they are failing in their fundamental duty, as second-stated above. In the UK we do not have ‘hypothecated taxation’; we have general taxation, national insurance and VAT. We should not be paying for public services out of fees paid by users of associated services and arguably, not by users of the service at all. For example, those of us that pay tax, support the NHS whether or not we use it. We pay for schools, whether or not we have children.
This is a tax-raid. There is no more work for the probate court in issuing a grant of probate

of a Will on a large estate than a small one. The system is exactly the same and there is no value-related element in the court’s work. 85% of estates are to be liable for the higher fees. At present a flat fee is paid of £155, for applications through a solicitor and £215 for applications without.
Under the new sliding scale, which is proposed from April 2019, one in five families can expect to pay £2,500 in probate court fees on estates of more than £500,000. Admittedly, for estates below £50,000, where increasingly no grant of probate is needed anyway, there will be no fee at all. The increased fee could even fall on a widow continuing to live in the marital home. Estates between £50,000 and £300,000 will remain little-altered at £250, while the maximum fee of an eye-watering £6,000 will fall on estates of over £2,000,000. It is wrong and ill-founded to expect the bereaved in England and Wales to pay the cost of upgrading the courts, when the bereaved in Scotland and Northern Ireland will not. I doubt that we would object if the proposed increase was in line with inflation or according to the Scottish or Northern
Irish scales.
Ministers backed-off the changes prior to the 2017 general election in the face of criticism but have back-tracked. It is small-comfort that the maximum fee has been cut from the 2017 proposed figure of £20,000 on estates of £2million and over. The Brexit-embattled government was not brave enough to announce the changes in the Budget; rather they will be enacted via secondary legislation.

A New Year Unfurls
The clocks are striking, all round the world. As the old year is ending, a New Year’s unfurled. We have a chance to make resolutions again, As most of last year’s have been made in vain! Though last year’s intentions were truly laudable, And some of our efforts really applaudable, There was a lot left to be desired, Especially if we felt we were too tired! So light up the fireworks, let’s start with a bang! These new plans mean the old ones can go hang! Let’s hope for peace and joy in our lives, It’s the goal for which almost everyone strives. In our own lives, too, we can play a big part, With truth and courage and a kind, loving heart. So Happy New Year to all of mankind, May we all find contentment and true peace of mind!

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection
Several cats and kittens were reserved before Christmas and some have already left for their new homes. We have also had lots of enquiries since we re-opened and several more have been reserved or have already joined their new families. However, when a pen has become vacant it has quickly been filled by cats from our waiting list. If you are on the waiting list please remember that, if we have more than one cat from a household in a pen, we cannot take any more cats into that pen until the last one has been re-homed.
We often mention the importance of kittens born outside coming into care as soon as possible to ensure they learn at an early age to accept contact with people. Ideally, we like to have them in care before they are 6 weeks old, although we will take older kittens, especially if they have had some contact with the people who are feeding them. These kittens will need more socialising before we put them up for adoption as they have missed that vital stage in their development.
Sometimes they can be older than we would like when they come into care and these kittens do take longer to accept contact with us. Two such kittens are Nancy and Nimbus who joined us from the colony on the industrial site. They were older than most kittens and had very little contact with people. Although very frightened when they arrived, they did not spit, scratch or bite although they would hiss when anybody tried to get to close to them or touch them. When they joined us, they came to live in their carerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home and initially reacted when she had visitors by running and hiding behind the settee in her conservatory. However, although still only happy to have physical contact with their carer, they no longer hide but will sit on the settee observing the comings and goings in her living room. These two young cats are beautiful but they will need a home/homes

Hedgehog Haven
The New Year has started off quietly with no more admissions.
The last one to arrive was on 23 December an underweight juvenile that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve named Tinsel.
As the weather is still mild (as at 6 January) there are still hedgehogs coming out at night seeking food. Hibernation is usually ruled by the weather. Until there are several nights of frosty cold weather they could still be about, so if you put food out for hedgehogs please carry on until it does not get eaten for several days in a row.

CROMER FLOWER CLUB
Jenni Baker kindly stood in for Chrystal Dyaball at our December meeting, as she was unable to come due to family illness.
Jenni’s title was ‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ and it was. Her first design was a triangular one comprising of pine, holly, variegated hebe, ivy and palms sprayed gold, Hugo chrysanthemums, small red amaryllis , hypericum and to finish gold painted lotus heads.
Next she decorated a wire grid with pieces of bark attached. The foliage was eucalyptus, trails of ivy, senecio, blue spruce, pink nerines and gorgeous pink roses, an unusual shaggy pink gerbera, silver ting ting and silver poppy heads. The next was an all white arrangement in a
white vase with various foliage and aspidistra leaves manipulated to hide the floral foam at the back. The flowers were cream carnations, white germinis with a bit of sparkle at one side, white sprayed cones and twigs completed the design. While doing this arrangement she was amusing us with the trials and tribulations of learning how to ski when a grandmother! For her fourth design she used a metal trough filled with greenery and added gold ting ting, red cornus, green anastasia chrysanthemums, red carnations, red gerberas and finished with red and gold baubles.
A tall silver cocktail glass made an appearance and was filled with palms, holly, eucalyptus, ivy, box, with variegated holly at the front. One side had white carnations and the other pale orange euphorbia, and white germinis. The gaps were filled with silver birch twigs
Festive service brings schools together
Children from a Cromer school celebrated the festive season at a Christmas service featuring pupils from academies across Norfolk and Suffolk.
Held at the medieval St Andrew’s Hall in Norwich on Wednesday 12 December, the Inspiration Trust’s annual Christmas service featured readings, carols, and music by pupils and staff from its schools in Cromer, Great Yarmouth, Norwich, Lowestoft, and Thetford.
Cromer Academy pupil Anwyn Chapman opened the concert with the solo of Once In Royal David’s City as a candlelit procession led through the hall.
Joint choirs and orchestras from the Trust’s primary and secondary schools performed traditional festive pieces including Away in a Manger and Gaudete, and pupils and staff gave traditional readings telling the story of Jesus’ birth.
The audience joined in for hymns including O Come, All Ye Faithful and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.
The programme was put together by Inspiration Trust director of music John Stephens, with music staff across the schools helping to coordinate
A Little Lite Supper in Thorpe Market Village Hall

and dried honesty.
Her final design was in a large brown pot, which had been compared to an old fashioned pork pie! But she made it beautiful with red amaryllis, blue spruce, variegated ivy, green holly with berries. cinnamon sticks and fir cones.
The vote of thanks was given by Noreen Hawes.
Our competition this month was an candle arrangement and best in show was by Val Kirkwood. She made a stunning contemporary design in white silver and grey with glitzy baubles, pine, succulents and a lovely white orchid.
On 21 January we meet at the Primary School at 7pm for our AGM, followed by a talk by Icarus Hines, his take on ‘A Butcher’s Tail’ – it will be fun.
rehearsals and performances.
Inspiration Trust chief executive Dame Rachel de Souza, who read the final lesson on the mystery of the Incarnation, said “We are delighted to bring our pupils and families together for this joyful evening, which is one of the cultural highlights of our school year. To perform in front of family and friends in such a beautiful venue is an experience that we hope will stay with our young people forever.”

Breakfast meeting opportunity for Business Rate payers
Presentation on North Norfolk District Council’s spending plans North Norfolk District Council is to give people who pay Business Rates the chance to discuss the council’s spending plans for the forthcoming financial year before they are finalised and submitted for approval.
A presentation at a breakfast meeting on Monday, 28 January, will be followed by an informal discussion with senior councillors and officers.
Cllr Eric Seward, NNDC Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance, Revenue and Benefits, said “The meeting about plans for the forthcoming budget is an opportunity to find our more on the topic and get your views heard.”
Cllr Duncan Baker, NNDC Conservative spokesman for Finance, said “We would be delighted to hear views from our rate-payers, and I would encourage local business owners to attend so they can engage with us on our budget plans.”
Cllr John Rest, Leader of the Independent Group at NNDC, said “This is an opportunity for businesses to put forward their ideas for the forthcoming budget. The success of last year’s event proved very valuable. We want to continue to ensure that we work with local businesses, and identify your needs for the future.”
The meeting is open to any organisation, group or individual. Please email accountancy@north-norfolk.gov.uk to confirm attendance by 25 January or to request any further information.
The meeting, which will be held at NNDC's Cromer offices, will start at 8.30am.
Ten Year Contract for Management of North Norfolk Leisure Facilities Announced Everyone Active will manage six North Norfolk facilities from 1 April 2019
The contractor which will provide services at North Norfolk District Council’s leisure facilities from 1 April has been announced as Everyone Active, part of Sports and Leisure Management.
The announcement comes after a thorough procurement process for the Council’s leisure contract, which was advertised to potential contractors in April 2018.
The decision to award the contract was made at a meeting of North Norfolk District Council’s Cabinet on 3 December, where the successful applicant was named as ‘Bidder X’ due to confidentiality rules. The name of that successful bidder was announced as Everyone Active following a standard 10-day ‘standstill’ period.
The ten-year leisure management contract will see Everyone Active responsible for the management of the following facilities: • The Victory Swim and Fitness Centre in North Walsham • The Fakenham Sports and Fitness Centre • The Splash Leisure and Fitness Centre in Sheringham • The dual use sports centre at North Walsham High School • The dual use sports centre at Stalham Academy • The dual use sports centre at Cromer Academy
The average annual saving over the life of the contract is in excess of £300,000 and this reduction is helping to finance the provision of the new Sheringham Leisure
The Council thanked the existing contractors Places For People for all they have done for more than 20 years, where an excellent reputation has been developed for delivering high quality public leisure facilities.
All staff at the six facilities will be transferred over to the new contract under TUPE Regulations, which preserve employees' terms and conditions when a business is transferred to a new employer.
This means staff currently employed at the six centres, either by the current contract holder or North Norfolk District Council, will continue to be employed but by the new contractor.

They had previously, after talks with Louise Cook, Fundraiser at the hospital, agreed to tell us about all the work which is done to help seriously ill children at the hospital. It was an interesting evening which gave us an insight into the care and dedication shown by all staff.
Unfortunately inclement weather in the last few weeks has meant we had to cancel two tombola stalls at Otterndorf Green recently. These will need to be adjourned until the spring.

Sheringham & Cromer Lions Club On 11 December two of the Managers from the Jenny Lind Childrens’ Hospital, Angela Johnson and Paula Mellor, joined us at the Morley Club in Sheringham.
SHERINGHAM ROOFING
On 21 December nine members of the Club did a Pub Dash between North Walsham and Holt. (North Walsham at present has no Lions Club). We raised the splendid sum of £607, a record for our Club, and this amount will enable us to help with the purchase of much needed furniture for the Parents Room at the Jenny Lind Hospital. This room is often used by parents staying all night with their children as well as providing a quiet relaxing space where refreshments can be provided. If any members of the public wish to contribute to this worthy cause please send a cheque to Louise Cook, Fundraiser, at the Jenny Lind, NNUH NHS

Foundation Trust, Colney Lane, Norwich, NR4 7UY, marked ‘Parents Room’ on the back. We would appreciate any assistance given. Thank you to all the Lions and members of the Public who have helped us in any way this year.
Forthcoming Events for 2019 Some members of our Club are contemplating being trained as assessors to be able to carry out assessments called ‘Know Your Risk’ that inform a person of their risk of getting Type 2 Diabetes within the next ten years. Training is carried out by Diabetes UK and it should enable our Club to help local people, especially as there is a growing trend towards this illness.

MP seeks meeting with Health Secretary for those let down by NSFT
Following the Care Quality Commission’s damning report on the Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust, Norman Lamb MP has asked the Secretary of State for Health to meet with people who feel let down by the Trust.
Mr Lamb, the Liberal Democrat MP for North Norfolk, met with constituents in Sheringham on 30 November to discuss the lack of services for those with mental health needs, and what can be done to improve them.
Days earlier, the Care Quality Commission recommended that NSFT remain in special measures and renewed its rating of Inadequate overall from July 2017, also noting a deterioration on one measure.
Mr Lamb said “It was clear from the meeting that many people feel
22
seriously let down by mental health services in North Norfolk. Some who were there had lost loved ones through suicide. The CQC’s own assessment is damning, and what makes it worse is that it’s a continuation of the last inspection which also found the Trust to be inadequate, indicating that there has been a serious failure to improve services.
“The Health Secretary has signalled to me personally that he is taking a personal interest in the steps needed to address the CQC’s damning report. I hope he will therefore agree to meet with me and people whose lives have been affected by the failure of the mental health services. I would be keen for other MPs to attend as well."

Every year one hears of work or a deed being done within our community which enhances the quality of life in our town or of its inhabitants. Much of this work by its very nature, goes largely unrecognized and may not be fully appreciated by the community at large.

Solar panels to be installed at North Norfolk District Council The installation of Eco-friendly PV panels given the go ahead by Councillors
Councillors have given approval of the planning application for a 150 kilowatts Photovoltaic (PV) array of 390 solar panels on the roof of the Council offices at Cromer. By using these panels the Council will be making use of a sustainable power source and cutting down on their reliance on fossil fuels. The decision was made at the first North Norfolk District Council Development Committee meeting of the New Year.
Cllr. Karen Ward, Portfolio Holder Planning & Housing said “The benefits to the environment in terms of energy savings are good news for North Norfolk residents. The Committee was reassured that all necessary measures had been taken to minimise the visual impact of this installation on the surrounding AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).”
A Playful Connection in North Lodge Park Planning Application is validated
A major step on the implementation of the new play bridge in North Lodge Park Cromer was passed last month with the validation of the planning application.
“We're really pleased to see practical progress in our plans to bring the upper lawn into the Park”, said Samantha Annison, chair of the Friends of North Lodge Park, “this is an exciting project, in collaboration with NNDC, responding to the community wishes for the Park.”
AREA Landscape Architects from Pin Mill in Suffolk and the Daniel Connal Partnership from Norwich have been working with the Friends of North Lodge Park to finalise the design elements after the outline project was published earlier in the year. “There has been real positive feedback from across the community,” adds Samantha “there is a real buzz from the people we talk to about the project - they are really pleased there is to be improvements to the Park and like the style and content of this proposal”. North Lodge Park was first created in May 1929. The aim is to implement the new playful connection at the 90th anniversary in May 2019. In summary the project will: • Replace the existing bridge between the two parts of the Park. The old

bridge is dated, has steep steps on either side making it difficult to use, and has a high maintenance cost. It is nearing the end of its life. The new bridge consists of gentle (maximum 1:20) slopes, with a 'floating' design based on the zig-zag style of the cliff paths found along the seafront in Cromer, using materials and colours inspired by local fishing traditions; the new bridge will also contain a viewing platform, seating and play elements, all accessible to wheelchair users. The upper lawn area of the Park will be opened up with new entrances to the cliff top path to the north and road to the south. Inspirational play opportunities will be created across the upper lawn, providing inclusive play for all. Planting schemes will be implemented around the bridge, play elements and across the upper and main lawns, providing additional sensory and educational features.
Once the planning application is passed there is a need for fund-raising before the project can commence.
