Grumpy Old Man Sorry – what did you say?
Whilst driving into Norwich recently I was relating a tale pertinent to my passenger, but when I paused for her reaction, none came. Glancing across, I saw the reason why – she was texting, engrossed, thumbs busy on her mobile phone and she hadn’t heard a word I said.
When I started secondary school at the age of 11, on the first day of term I carried home a letter from the school to my parents which requested that they must ensure I had a quiet place in which to do my homework, preferably in my own room and on no account should there be any extraneous noise such as a radio because they believed children will develop the ability to shut out such distraction and be more likely to switch off their teacher’s voice and allow their minds to wander whilst in class. Attention Deficit (in those days called inattention) was frowned upon and attracted punishment, usually in the form of extra work or detention. Nobody was hyperactive. Nobody claimed to have a mental disorder as a convenient excuse for laziness or bad behaviour, which was not tolerated. Casual disruption was nipped in the bud.
Even more recently, five close family members who were visiting, sat with us to watch the FA Cup Final and failed to react when the Wigan goalkeeper brought off a stunning save. I turned round to see that, despite being football fans in varying degree, all five were occupied with their techno-gadgets, three on i-phones, one on a tablet and one using a laptop. Grumpy and his wife were alone in paying attention to the match at that moment.
May I suggest that the massive rise in so-called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is directly linked to the concurrent rise in distraction overload presented by modern technology. The medical profession would have us believe ADHD is a form of affliction, an illness, and is busy prescribing bucketfuls of pills which affect the brain in an effort to bring about a ‘cure’.
K C evin
The innocent freedom I enjoyed as a child with the ability to explore and wander safely, to pursue varied indoor and outdoor hobbies and interests and to exercise much responsible independence, has gone. We are in a strange new world now. Giving small children electronic gadgets to occupy them in the same way as giving a baby a dummy to suck, to keep them quiet, is a betrayal of childhood, as once

addicted they cannot be weaned from them. They do not learn to think, but to respond: also the attention of parents is increasingly concentrated on their own gadgets as they, in turn, are perpetually distracted.
Trouble lies ahead I fear.
Nowadays, the only time I notice numbers of children in public is when they are going to school or returning home. Then they vanish indoors to their cyber world and the television.
In a few short years our way of life has been totally and unnaturally transformed, wholeheartedly embraced without a care for the consequences, and the first generation is growing up without a firm grip on reality. The genie is out of the bottle.
Summer Term at Little Nick’s Nursery Continued from front cover...
Whilst the Nursery children have been watching the development of Painted Lady caterpillars turning into pupae and then into beautiful butterflies, the Reception class have been digging for worms in the muddy area to put into their wormery.
Other popular activities have included an outing to the Junior Farm at Wroxham Barns, where they fed the hungry lambs and held the soft and cuddly guinea pigs.
A fun morning was spent at Waitrose where they were able to taste unusual fruits, scan shopping through on the till and sit in the Manager’s chair whilst watching customers on the CCTV!
We have had some successful ‘Open’ and ‘Play Afternoons’, but we always love to see visitors, so just phone first and we’ll be happy to see you and show you around our delightful setting. Please contact us on 01692 403143.

CROMER CRAB, LIME AND GINGER FISHCAKE
Fresh coriander, crème fraiche, sweet Thai chilli sauce from head chef at The Grove - Gary Parrett
Cromer and superb, succulent, tasty crab has gone together for centuries. They taste great simply dressed and enjoyed with a lovely green salad, but we wanted to do something slightly more adventurous with this fantastic seafood.
John and Ann Graveling, who ran the Grove for over thirty years, are still the bosses in the garden, and Ann planted me a small herb garden last year which complements the wild mint, lemongrass, bay, garlic, parsley and rosemary that are dotted around the grounds. It’s a bit of an initiation for any new Chefs de Partie to send them out for fresh rosemary and watch them, ever-more frantically, searching the gardens until the sun begins to set over the distant church tower. One young lad set out to forage for some wild garlic at the beginning of April and still hasn’t come back in.
This recipe takes advantage of some lovely fresh coriander and ginger; tangy limes from Cromer Farm and Health shop, and of course, freshly caught Cromer crab – the King of seafood.
I hope you enjoy your summer and we look forward to seeing you for dinner- or afternoon tea! at the Grove – 01263512412 to book!

North Walsham Times 426 July 13th 2013
How to Get Rid of Your Double Chin, Jowls or the Dreaded Turkey Neck
A youthful face is triangular with prominent cheeks and a slender lower face. With age we lose cheek volume and gain volume in the lower face which results in an inverted triangle like appearance. A young person with a double chin appears older than someone older who has fuller cheeks and slender lower face. In simple terms-cheeks become jowls!
This change in appearance is due to a combination of factors such as age related redistribution of volume in skin, fat, muscles and even bone. Gravity plays a part and tissues start to sag. In addition to these- genetics, sun damage, smoking, hormones and poor lifestyle choices also contribute to this.
Here are some prevention strategies and treatment options for you...
Don’t be stingy about using the cream on your neck. You may pay a little more now, but it will be cheaper than a face-lift in the long run. Treat your neck to the occasional exfoliation but remember to be gentle. Wear an SPF25 or over on your neck every day and if you have short hair, apply it to the back of your neck and the sides too. A wide-brimmed hat will also protect your neck in the sun too. Gently massage your neck with an upward stroke. This will stimulate the skin, be careful not to pull or stretch the skin though. Putting
on weight can result in an unsightly double chin. Try and eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water.
Treatment options. Whilst non-surgical treatments help in early stages, well established changes require surgery. Sometimes a full face and neck lift, but we do have less invasive options mentioned below.
Face lift surgery has undergone a total transformation in recent years. Most of the innovations have come from the USA which is where Dr Gheyi had his advanced training. We offer face and neck lifts and minimal invasive surgical options purely under local anaesthesia. Usually there is no bruising at all, minimal discomfort and a very quick recovery.
NON-SURGICAL • Replace lost volume in the upper face with volumising fillers or fat injections.
• Reduce fat in double chin and jowl area with mesotherapy and radio frequency.
• Mesotherapy helps to reduce fat and improve circulation and skin texture.
If you are not ready for a face lift or wish to postpone it then suspension lifts may be a good option. This can be combined with skin excisions or 'one-stitch' facelift. The best approach can be discussed at your consultation. This is determined by various factors including recovery time, cost, your desires and expectations etc.
• Chin enhancement and jaw line definition with dermal fillers such as restylane, radiesse or fat injections
• Nefertiti lift with botulinum toxin injections to tighten jaw line and reduce neck bands.
• Tighten loose skin on face or neck with non-ablative lasers, CO2 laser resurfacing, or radio-frequency. Results are visible from the very first session of treatment.
In our next article we will look at different types of face and neck lift options... In the meantime, why don’t give us a call to explore further options. Call us on 01603 736487 or log on to the website www.coltishallclinic.co.uk
SURGICAL Non surgical options work very well for most
North Walsham Times 426 July 13th 2013
people but surgery is recommended for advanced changes. This may involve face and neck lifts, laser face lift, fat transfer, liposuction, chin implants and/or neck muscle plication. If face and neck lift brings images of extensive bruising, bulky dressings and prolonged recovery - think again..!

So far this year has panned out as predicted and it is unlikely that the next six month predictions will need much alteration with indications that the period extending out to early January will not be dominated by cold weather in the winter period.
The rest of the summer, which should have finally started at the beginning of July ,will more than make up for the dismal start to summer 2013 . Because the sea temperature is some four to five degrees below normal we are more than normal susceptible to cold sea breezes and low cloud right on the coast. The sea temperature has been edging down for some time, winter and summer.
After the demise of global warming we now have climate change and recent 'stabs' at what might happen suggest that we can expect cold unsettled winters and cool wet summers so we have come full circle back to our maritime climate.
Expect anything at any time of the year - drought, storms, floods, heatwaves. Nothing changes.

Jelly the Jersey Roadshow at Waitrose On Saturday 15 June, Waitrose North Walsham had three very special visitors - Jelly, Jasmine and Jellybaby, the Jersey Cows.
Carrie and Jonny Burridge bought them along for children and customers to see and have a chat about the cows and their heritage.
Jelly was born on 21 December 2007. Born at Weststow, her unusual markings make her stand out from the herd, as well as her loving but stubborn personality. She enjoys having her own way and will quite happily push the much bigger cows out of her way to get to the tastiest bits in the feed mangers.Jelly had her first calf when she was 2 years old, a heifer which had the standard jersey colours. This little calf was born on Christmas Day 2011 and was called Jellytot. Jelly's second calf was born on 9 January 2013. This little calf was named Jellybaby and came along to Waitrose last month.
Jelly produces on average 25 litres of milk a day, with a diet made up from foods grown on her farm and with grazing outside.
A Love of Dogs
Gemma Joyce owns and is the Fairy Doglover. She loves dogs, having started work at 15 working in a boarding kennel.
Having worked full time in kennel and rescue environments for seven years, Gemma decided to study canine behaviour and passed a course last October with Coape and followed that with an advanced OCN award.
Gemm has run her own business for the last two years specialising in Dog walking, pet sitting for all animals big and small, and canine behavioural home visits.
Jelly is best friends with Jasmine. Jasmine also visited the branch and has become a firm favourite with the children. Her personality is more tolerant than Jelly and she enjoys a lot of fuss and cuddles from the children. Jelly on the other hand, loves the attention - but on her terms!
Jelly the Jersey became a 'roadshow' last July
Gemma offers individual dog walking, group walks for dogs in need of canine company. Walks on woods, beaches, down the lanes and the usual routine. Walking can benefit so many dogs, whether their owners are working, unable to walk the dog due to disability, just had a baby, or anything else, Gemma is always happy to help with a friendly and professional service.
Gemma is currently in the process of putting together a puppy playgroup- which is where young puppies can have the opportunity to play together off lead in a safe environment, and become socialized, which is crucial for ensuring a dog-friendly dog in adulthood.

Gemma doesn't advertise much, most clients are from recommendations. "Many clients call at the last minute, to walk, provide company and cuddles and feed their animals," Gemma commented.
Most recently Gemma has become the official stockist for the
when dairy farmers were dealt the blow of a price cut for their milk, followed by a proposed second price cut in the September. Working with Norfolk young farmers, Jelly the Jersey’s roadshow was lifted off the ground and has since travelled to many different venues. The goal is to educate and provide the public (especially the children) with the opportunity to get up close to a real dairy cow and learn where their milk comes from. It has always been Carrie and Jonny’s goal to build a bridge between the milk sold on the supermarket shelf to the cows which work very hard to produce it.
Jelly helps to raise awareness of the price paid to farmers for their milk and to raise awareness of the importance to support our British farmers and make sure that the farmers are paid enough to survive and keep animal welfare to the very best standards.
By visiting Waitrose, Jelly and her friends felt very privileged to have the opportunity and she likes to ensure that her presence is positive to the store, and promotes Waitrose as a very good place to buy milk from.
extremely popular CSJ (specialist canine feeds) Dog food. Gemma supplys many different recipes of specially formulated dog food to North Walsham and all the surrounding villages.
"I would only recommend something which has worked brilliantly for my dogs and something affordable where quality was not compromised, and where no nasty chemicals are added." Since then many of her friends have had huge success with tummy or skin sensitive dogs.
"My new website should be live by the time you read this - www.thefairydoglover.co.uk . " If you have a new puppy you can contact Gemma to claim a free puppy pack.
In the future Gemma's aim is to complete the third part of her education, which will gain her a diploma in canine behaviour and would hope to receive vet referrals on behaviour.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection
Firstly, an update on the two cats mentioned last time.
Millie, has now been re-homed with her fosterer who had grown very fond of her. Having recently lost her elderly dog she thought Millie was a suitable candidate to fill the gap in her household. Roger has also left for a new home, with a veterinary nurse who met him while his balance problem was being investigated. The ideal home for Roger as she is aware of his medical history and will be able to identify any changes to his condition. Lovely boy, lucky lad.
When Stephanie returned from holiday recently I had to confess that cat numbers had increased in our household but not with one from Cats Protection. For the past 10+ years we have had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;feralâ&#x20AC;? cat visiting our garden, an unneutered black

tom cat, who would not go anywhere near a cat trap. Last year we finally managed to catch him in a special cat box. This was made easier because his claws had started to dig into his pads and he could not move so quickly. He was neutered, had some teeth removed, claws clipped and antibiotics and returned to the garden after a night in the garage. Having survived the harsh winter out in the cold (although there are cat kennels available for shelter) we again noticed his claws were getting too long and another visit to the vets was arranged. A further dental was recommended and as he had finally begun to accept contact from us we were able to get him in a normal carrier for a further visit to the vets. This poor little lad had two abscesses in his mouth and a further 9 teeth removed. On his return from the vets we put him in the conservatory to recover and he has hardly left there since. After all these years he has finally learnt to trust people again, and is now a real lap cat that just loves a cuddle. It is obvious that at some point he did have a home and he probably got lost while looking for unneutered queens. Hector is now a permanent addition to our household, I just wish he could have made it indoors earlier.

Stuart Richards was voted Toastmaster of the Year by members of North Norfolk Speakers Club and was presented with the award at the club meeting on Wednesday 26 June.

Helping Enterprise North Norfolk District Council (NNDC)
Leader Tom FitzPatrick made a presentation to members of the Enterprise North Norfolk entrepreneur training programme on June 25th at a special event hosted by The Victorian Tea Rooms, Cromer, on Tuesday 25 June. This marked their success in setting up new businesses, ranging from historic tapestry restoration and conservation to insurance broking.
The course leader - Kate Wilde from Engage with Business - was delighted with the success of her first 12 'graduates' of the course.
Modules include business basics, mentoring and master classes in subjects such as market research and social media and are designed to help people start their own business with their eyes open.
The successful new businessmen and women were presented with a copy of ‘The Essential Business Guide’, essential reading for all
entrepreneurs and full of vital information for further success in their chosen fields of business.
NNDC Cabinet Member for Business Enterprise and Economic Development, Russell Wright, said, "The project is really starting to make a difference. Work we did when I was a member of the County Council showed that it is crucial that new entrepreneurs are given help to create credible business plans, so important if they are to be able to obtain business loans. And it’s vital that they have appropriate support and advice available during the first year of business operation, to ensure their survival and success. We will continue to build on this project to find more ways of reaching out and assisting North Norfolk’s businessmen and women of the future.”
‘Graduate’ Cathy Howlett hosted the
whole event at The Victorian Tea Rooms, which she bought in April to realise her dream. She took advantage of Enterprise North Norfolk's offer of free training and one-to-one business start-up advice
“The course took a lot of the fear away from starting out in business, and wondering whether you can do it. It helped with things like payroll, costing, marketing and taught me to be careful to help see us through the leaner winter months,” she said.
Other graduates were Andrew CunninghamBrown, North Norfolk Insurance, Sheringham; Paulina Jones, Capella Health and Well-being Centre, Stalham; Mike Lee architectural services, Cromer; Elaine Owers historical tapestry restoration, Erpingham Mary Covey Fakenham Foot Care; Olga Ingram from Cromer Gingercat jewellery design and Sarah Harris Peppermint Valley online clothes and accessories.

Be Inspired!
After searching for some time for a suitable book on building a radio controlled yacht, Ian Harvey finally found just the one on the shelves of North Walsham Library.
It took Ian 4-5 months to complete, was much bigger and cost rather more than he was anticipating, but the results speak for themselves.
KITCHEN FRONTS of Norfolk
Ian sourced everything locally, including the sails which are made from architectural drawing paper!
“The book was perfect as I wanted one suitable for boating lakes and they are hard to come by, and it even includes fold out plans. The yacht’s first trip out was on Sheringham boating lake and it sailed beautifully” said Ian.
If you feel inspired to have a go, Ian is very happy to give more details including sourcing materials. He can be contacted via the library.

Recent Changes to the Planning System By Richard Hewitt Partner at Hayes + Storr, Sheringham
This two part article looks at some of the many changes that have been introduced over recent weeks and months by the Government. The second article will consider the increased flexibility that now exists for householders to extend their properties, and for changes to take place easily in the high street and elsewhere.
This first article looks at a more wide ranging tax regime that is now being rolled out across the Country, which has potential impact on all development of any significance.
Traditionally, significant schemes have undergone a public planning process involving a planning application, debate and decision. Parallel to that process, there has quite often been the creation of a “planning agreement” whereby developers, land owners and others make various financial and other commitments as a precondition to getting planning permission.
Typically a housing development may make a contribution towards the costs of education in the vicinity, and the site may be partly allocated for “affordable housing” available to those who are unable to buy their own home.
Whilst the “affordable housing” aspects, and some of the detailed direct impacts of the development may still be covered by a “planning agreement” under the new system, the new tax is designed to introduce a uniform approach, that can easily be calculated, with the revenue being used to fund broader infrastructure requirements across any planning area.
This is known as the ‘community infrastructure levy’.
Only a hand full of local authorities has gone through the process leading to adopting
North Walsham Times 426 July 13th 2013
a formal charging system, but many others are in the process now. Whilst small scale developments will be excluded, any significant development will be charged at rates to be set calculated per square metre constructed or extended.
With a charge of £100 per square metre common place, it is obvious the impact this can have on the costs of development. These costs will either be passed on to ultimate property purchasers or occupiers, or reflected in reduced land prices.
Over the next 12 months many authorities will have adopted this tax, partly as a means to offset lack of central funding for schools, roads etc. The unknown factor is how much this tax will ‘choke off’ development that would otherwise have come forward.
The theory is that the tax should be set at a level that will allow economic activity and the resultant tax revenue to fund new infrastructure, but not at a level that would stifle economic activity.
Understandably, perhaps, there is a rush to secure planning permissions under the current regime, which many believe is cheaper for developers than the planned levy.
This sort of tax has been tried several times over recent decades but in every case has failed to take hold and has been abandoned. However this current regime does seem to have political weight behind it. The financial pressure is on local authorities to adopt this tax as perhaps the only practical way of securing infrastructure improvements that will no longer be funded centrally.
The creation of this new system from scratch is also a significant burden on local authorities. They must be able to calculate and judge overall needs for infrastructure going forward, often without knowing precisely where and
to what extent other funding sources will continue. They must acquire and use sophisticated financial skills to work out an appropriate level of charge that will meet the balance of simulating infrastructure without killing off development. Then the proposed charges schedules need to run through public examination and processes before they can be adopted.
At the time of preparing this article North Norfolk District Council are at the early stages of implementation, but it is expected that significant progress will need to be made before Spring next year.
It is obvious that this new regime has implications for land owners, developers and investors. Should you have any concerns as to how the regime could affect you in any of these circumstances please look out for the information published by NNDC over the coming months.

H.J. Jackson – hugely popular Norfolk print artist - celebrates 60 years of printmaking in his only solo gallery exhibition this year Gallery Plus, Wells-next-the-sea Saturday 20th July - Sunday 4th August
To mark his 60th anniversary, H.J. Jackson will be exhibiting a selection of his recent linocuts, including his much loved images of Norfolk boats, at Gallery Plus, Wells-next-the-Sea. This will be John’s only solo gallery exhibition this year.
When H.J. Jackson produced his first hand-printed linocut in his last year at school, he had no way of knowing that 60 years later he would still be printmaking.
The exhibition, which will also include new work by other Gallery Plus print artists, opens with an all-day preview on Saturday 20th July and continues daily until Sunday 4th August. Mon-Sat 10am-4pm, Sun 11am-4pm.
This small single-colour print of a galleon in full sail was instrumental in helping H.J. Jackson – John to his friends – to obtain a place at the Norwich School of Art the following year. It was also directly responsible for him pursuing linocutting as a craft as part of the National Diploma in Graphic Design.
John will be demonstrating his techniques during the preview day and will be available to chat to about his work and history in the industry.
It was while at the School of Art that John became interested in coastal themes, stimulated by visits to Sheringham, Cromer and to the fishwharf at Great Yarmouth during the annual visits by the Scottish Fishing Fleet.
Now a Senior Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers and a Member of the Society of Wood Engravers, H.J. Jackson has perfected his craft, burnishing each of his full-colour linocuts with the use of his tobacco tin. The printing is carried out entirely by hand.
On leaving Art School, John lost the use of the print-room equipment and although he could purchase tools, lino and ink, he realised he would have to dispense with the services of a printing press. After experimenting, he finally settled on a ‘tobacco tin’ as the ideal burnishing tool – a method he still employs today.
Gallery Plus, Warham Road, Wells-next-the-sea, Norfolk, NR23 1QA 01328 711609 www.gallery-plus.co.uk info@gallery-plus.co.uk
The declining fishing industry features strongly in John’s work, and he likes his boats to look as if they have been to sea. The multiple layers of ink result in a ‘treacly’ appearance which helps to gives them the look of working vessels.
After working for over 30 years in marketing and publicity, printmaking during evenings and weekends, John was able to pursue linocutting ‘full time’ in 1995.

PROBUS CLUB
‘A rare insight into a world that most of us are unlikely to see’ said Roger Warr when he thanked Ray Warnes for his presentation on his visit to Tibet to North Walsham Probus Club last month.
Probably many of us cherish childhood ambitions but few of us actually realise their dreams. Ray’s imagination was kindled as a small boy during the Second World War by an elderly relative who had served in the Royal Norfolk’s at the beginning of the twentieth century. During his service he had been part of a military expedition to Tibet headed by two senior officers - Younghusband and MacDonald.
Together with a friend they joined four others in 2003 and visited Tibet, landing at Kathmandu, trekking with the aid of a local guide known as a sirdar, arranged by a UK company. They went along the Singali ridge at edge of the Himalayas passing into Sikkim which, although it boasts of its own absolute monarchy, is subject to India. India occupies the kingdom ostensibly to protect their borders from China. From Sikkim the party entered Bhutan, visiting the Choelang monastery, which has considerable beauty and wealth notwithstanding the poverty of most of the people.
Ray’s narrative was accompanied by a series of slides, showing the ‘Friendship Bridge’ between India and China. They subsequently entered Tibet during their trip which lasted about four to five weeks their final destination being the capital, Lhasa. Here they met the ‘pension lama’, who is effectively the Dalai’s deputy. Part of his remit is the promotion of the country’s tourism while also seeking aid and publicity from the developed countries.

Naturally there exists a considerable culture difference between the West and that part of Asia. The rising population is likely to become unsustainable. Perhaps the Chinese, who are the overall rulers, may introduce similar restrictions to those which apply to China.
The religion, which is predominantly Buddhist, believes in reincarnation. Therefore one does not ill treat an animal since it may be a former relative. While this may seem absurd to many of us Tibetans will, quite literally, not ‘hurt a fly’. Therefore the ultimate hope is not resurrection, but life in Heaven.
Tibet was invaded by China in 1950 and its frontiers are strictly guarded. Since the people are largely illiterate, communication is often by pictorial means for example paintings and photos. Another means was the use of pennants visible from a considerable distance. One of the shots showed the kind of dwelling inhabited by a family of five - an earth floor with walls consisting of a woven material, offering little weather protection.
Sanitation was primitive or nonexistent. The European group preferred to sleep in tents rather than a local building for fear of infection. The Club meets again on the 24th July at the Community Centre. We look forward to meeting new members.
National Blood Week smashes targets! A big thank you has been issued to donors and supporters after National Blood Week 2013 easily exceeded its targets.
The themed week, which ran from 10 June, aimed to educate the public about blood donation and register 10,000 new blood donors nationally.
And thanks to an overwhelming response from the public, NHS Blood and Transplant managed to smash that target and sign up almost 11,400 people.
NHS Blood and Transplant spokesperson Derek Carr said “We are delighted that National Blood Week had such a strong response and we are very grateful for all the support we had from our donors and the public which made it possible.
Wanted
“It’s great that we were able to beat our national target and we hope that the people who registered in this area will now go on to be regular donors, which will help us maintain a steady supply of blood, as it has a short shelf life. However, the task does not finish here. We constantly need new donors – and in particular younger donors - to replace the 200,000 people nationally who have to retire from donating each year due to factors like poor health and certain medication, so I would urge people to keep coming forwards.
“Giving blood is easy, doesn’t take long to do and can help up to three people.”
During National Blood Week, which ran from 1016 June, NHS Blood and Transplant aimed to increase understanding of the uses of blood and the donation process to encourage those who have never given blood before, or who have not given for some time, to ‘Know Blood, Give Blood’ and help save lives.
Anyone aged between 17-65, weighing more than 50 kg (7st 12lbs) and in general good health could potentially start saving lives by becoming a blood donor. There is no upper age limit for donors who have donated in the last two years. For more information or to book an appointment visit www.blood.co.uk or contact 0300 123 23 23.

More ambulance cover in north Norfolk cautiously welcomed
North Norfolk Labour Party's Act on Ambulances campaigners have welcomed news of more ambulance cover in north Norfolk - 12 months after their petition against cuts started.
Over the last year the party have appealed to the East of England Ambulance Service board not to cut ambulance resource in Cromer and North Walsham, at a time when response times were already poor.
Over 10,000 people have signed their petition and the Trust undertook a series of u-turns which saw an increase in ambulance hours as performance worsened.
Now, staff at our local ambulance bases have won a battle against a reduction in services, as part of a formal grievance written in October 2011, meaning the NHS trust will now increase the number of doublestaffed ambulance hours from 504 a week to 614 hours.
Carrow Road meets Millfield Primary!
Mr Walder, year 5 teacher from Millfield Primary School in North Walsham, took a team of 12 pupils, made up of six boys and six girls, to represent the school in the Under 9s Foundation football tournament. There they met other teams from across Norfolk who competed with the same enthusiasm as themselves. The first match saw Millfield draw 1-1 with a fantastic goal by Ryan Brown, who helped steady their nerves. Match three saw Millfield come into their own with Rio Dobbie scoring a hat trick followed by a goal from Ellie Suttle. Then to finish off their win Ryan Brown slammed another goal home.
The move has been cautiously welcomed by the local Labour Party who met with the board last year to explain the fears of local residents and echoed staff concerns.
Denise Burke, spokesperson for the campaign, said "This is good news for the thousands of people who have signed the Act on Ambulances petition against cuts to double-staffed ambulances in north Norfolk. We applaud the unions and staff who have spent months fighting their formal grievance, and pushing for action. We hope that the Trust will stick to their word and ensure this measures take shape as soon as possible. If they do it will be good news for patients here."

Millfield’s goalkeeping was impeccable that day with their goalkeeper Liam King, who unable to handle the ball outside the area headed the ball down field. He then dribbled it past three players and scored an outstanding goal being deemed ‘goal of the day’ by the organisers. Kai Brown then sealed the fate of the opposition with a tremendous goal.
Mrs Herd, teaching assistant and sports assistant at Millfield, said “The children should be really proud of themselves, not only for the way in which they played but also for their fantastic behaviour on the pitch.” PACKED LUNCH TO EAT ON THE WAY!
