Covering North Walsham, Aylsham and surrounding villages in association with the Cromer Times and Sheringham Independent

Proposals from the Norfolk County Council Parking Committee chairman Mick Castle were halted last month The NNDC, Broadland DC, and Breckland DC are not voting members of the Norfolk Parking Partnership (NPP) and were about to be voted in, prior to discussing the pay and display issue, when NNDC Ccllr John Rest said that the NNDC would not be signing up to the proposals, reports Eric Hayton, proprietor, Rose Villa Publications.

The NPP Norfolk Parking Partnership was due to discuss proposals that seriously affect Cromer, Sheringham and Hunstanton. All are small seaside towns that are nothing like the two towns that do have parking meters who and are also the voting members of the NNP - Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn. Thoee - and those two towns are not covering the cost of enforcement, hence the proposal to make our towns pay.

For Cromer and Sheringham it is even worse as the NNDC has proposed to raise charges at their Pay & Display car parks. Even more crazy is that it is only a year ago that the introduction of meters was wholly rejected by residents of both towns.

Freedom of Information We know that the NCC has serious budget problems and they predict a deficit on parking enforcement income. However, this knee-jerk proposal to raise revenue just from these three towns needs to have

more discussion to say the least.

What we are lacking here is the evidence that the introduction of meters would actually have the desired result and evidence that the introduction of meters would not damage the economies of the towns.

Perhaps Ccllr Mick Castle would like to publish the 'months of hard work' that he has to P arki ng Met er s said is 'in jeopardy' in North No rf olk which presumably contains this crucial evidence, so that all can see. That way, residents can judge the evidence for themselves.

For your information, the Freedom of Information Act is a useful tool that everyone (not just councillors) can use to request copies of eg extract relevant reports, statistics, documents and evidence that may have been collected or used by local councils and their officersials.

It is not difficult to make an FOI request: · Put the request in writing – letter or email · Include your name · Include an address for correspondence – an e-mail address may be okay, unless the information requested can't be sent electronically, in which case you will need to give a postal address · Clearly describe what information is being requested but avoid very broad requests in case the work involved in locating the information is excessive.

You can make a request to Norfolk County Council by emailing: information.management@norfolk.gov.uk, or by post to: Norfolk County Council, Information Management Service, B31, Martineau Lane, Norwich, NR1 2DH You can use it - not difficult - select the relevant official or councillor and email your question. www.norfolk.gov.uk is a good place to start.

Questions that need answering: Before looking at parking meters - or any increased charges - what cost reduction measures and efficiencies have been considered by the NPP? What is the evidence justifying the NPP proposals?

What other solutions were considered?

Cromer Chamber of Trade and Commerce

During 2015 Cromer Chamber of Trade and the shops/businesses ran a campaign ‘SAY NO TO PARKING METERS’, we had petitions in shops and on line, at the same time we conducted a survey of those using the shops and businesses in the town centre to find out where they parked, why, how they accessed the town centre and how potential changes to side streets and meters would effect their decision to use the town. This also questioned how they used the town during the different seasons. It had been agreed at a meeting at NNDC that this information would be fed into the County Council officers work on the meter issue, they agreed that any data we collected would be used, at no time have they asked us for any of our data.

If they had they would have a far greater understanding of the movement of traffic the essential nature of the quick turn around of the 30 minutes spaces and how the side streets are used from season to season.

Therefore, the call from Councillor Hannah of Sheringham, informing us the parking enforcement partnership were about to vote on a fully packaged budget to impose parking meters on the streets of Cromer and Sheringham came as a complete surprise. I have bags of data, Cromer and Sheringham have thousands of signatures and lots of useful information they have not just ignored but completely forgotten they agreed to take it into account before doing any more in our towns!

I don’t call that successful consultation! To impose meters on towns simply to increase revenue, as the chair has already publically stated is the only reason for these plans, is not reason enough to disrupt the lives of many, threaten the businesses in the towns, detract from the visitor experience and more importantly displace their residents. This is an attack on residents of seaside towns!

Those using the streets because they have nowhere else to park as they live in the centre, what impact study has been done on that? Where will they go? Does the town have the capacity to cope with the displacement?

How will this impact on the streets not effected? Where will the customers of the B & B’s park if not on the Runton Road? If the short stay spaces in the towns are constantly used for 30 minutes during the day, and they fill up for 2 hours at a time, where will the 3 shoppers park that would have

4

What analysis/research has been done to quantify the effect oo find out what the potential drop-off in tourism, trade and business of these proposals might be if meters entitled tourists to park for up to four hours in town centre bays, which would effectively 'bed-block' the in and out of those bays with limited parking permitted?

King's Lynn and Great Yarmouth are totally different size of town to our small seaside towns - what is the basis for reasoning that similar measures would work in the same way?

It is rumoured that these proposals are only being put forward because the NCC has acquired some EU money to fund the capital cost - is this true?

What other evidence has been used to put forward these proposals?

Councillor for Sheringham South

Dear Margaret, In May last year, some drunk youths in Cardigan, Wales, broke into the town’s parking meters, damaging them. The meters weren’t repaired quickly and, as free parking continued, the shops found their high street revenues increased by an average of about 30% to as much as 50% (Mark Hay; 2015). Those findings were confirmed in research on two separate Starbucks outlets, where it was found meter fees reduced customer traffic by almost 30%. (Economics of Transportation; 2014).

Professor Donald Shoup, the parking economist and author of 'The High Cost of Free Parking', argued that free parking was really a subsidy for car owners, increasing traffic congestion and emissions, and having hidden costs. But such arguments are not apt for small towns like Sheringham, Cromer, or Cardigan. These are towns in rural communities where cars are virtually essential, and where much or most business comes from tourists who cannot use cheap, regular public transport.

Now Norfolk County Council wants parking meters in Sheringham and Cromer to pay for parking enforcement across the whole county, but without apparently considering the serious economic arguments against that proposal, nor fully exploring other options, including cost reduction.

I believe that parking meters create stress and deter visitors and customers.

I think that we should work together across all the Norfolk districts to find an economically sensible and fair means of funding parking enforcement.

We should not allow decision-makers to jump on the apparently easy solution labelled ‘Sheringham and Cromer’, regardless of the economic cost and detriment to those towns.

Yours faithfully, Judy Oliver, Driftway Farm, Felbrigg, NR11 8PL

used it to grab a few things, go to the bank, collect a prescription etc etc?

Will they drive around looking for a vacant spot clogging up the town centres? Where else can they park? Will they come at all? One lost shopper is one too many!

What impact and displacement studies have been done? Where are the studies saying how long cars park for on Runton Road in Cromer? How did they make the decision that a 4 hour length of stay on the seafront is right length of time?

Has the research been done? It should have been and be very comprehensive. Why, because this about the health of our towns, our communities, the districts residents and improving the tourist offer!

This is not about any of those things THIS is about raising money for countywide parking enforcement. In effect we are being milked as cash cows, their own figures show North Norfolk is cheaper to enforce than a ticket costs and far less than the towns that have the meters!

Our petitions and surveys of last year had a majority result of NO TO ON STREET PARKING METERS and we still say that.

As the chair of the Parking Initiative used this phrase ‘the good people of Cromer and Sheringham ‘in his rather condescending way, I will use in my very positive way -‘The good people of Cromer and Sheringham work hard to provide great vibrant towns, they support them, they work in them and the run businesses in them, they are strong and good communities and together we say NO NO NO!

There has to be a more effective way of monitoring parking, than reducing the availability of parking for residents to use the vital facilities in a quick and effective way or to stop a visitor to a B & B or self catering parking their cars for the length of their stay close to the accommodation, or visiting the beach for more than 4 hours.

Sheringham Trade and Commerce

NCC's second attempt to introduce Parking Meters to Cromer, Sheringham and Hunstanton, which had been put to public consultation in April 2015 and of the 4290 letters sent out to the Sheringham public 1233 were returned without anybody supporting parking meters in the town.

You may have heard by now of NCC's proposal to introduce Pay and Display meters in Sheringham Cromer and Hunstanton.

Chairman Jeremy Stubbs and myself only heard of this on Thursday 11th February when Brian Hannah, who is on the Norfolk Parking Partnership, received notice of a meeting to be held at County Hall on Thursday 18th February to agree that in Sheringham meters would be introduced in Station Road /High Street and Church Street and on the Esplanade.

The 45 minute free parking would be retained initially, with a charge of £2 for a one and a half hour stay after that. The Esplanade would incur a charge of first 45 minutes free then £2.50 for 1-2 hours /£3 for 2-3 hours and £4 for 3-4 hours max stay 4 hours.

However a ticket would have to be obtained from the meters for the 45 minute free parking in all areas and the meters would be placed at six car intervals

The reason given for introducing the meters is that there is a forecast deficit of £92,000 to pay

for enforcement officers and Yarmouth and King's Lynn [who have meters] no longer wish to make up the shortfall from their surplus receipts from their meters.

to P arki ng Met er s in North No rf olk

A meeting was held on 15th February at the town hall with the mayor/Andreas Yiasimi representing Cromer /Jeremy and myself /Brian Hannah and Dave Stephens [Highways Network manager] and Helen Martin [Project Engineer] from NCC.

Business partnership to aid economic development in the 7 towns as they realised that with increased business rates and minimum wage plus increased car parking charges and the continued competition from on line business that times were difficult and the last thing we needed was another fixed cost to deter our customers.

They were asked to provide a breakdown of individual towns in North Norfolk to show income and expenditure to run such a scheme along with the capital cost but could not.

We pointed out that by allowing additional parking in the town on a meter this would restrict usage by local people in the parking bays particularly the more mature resident and the hassle involved with obtaining a ticket every time you wanted to visit a business would be prohibitive.

We finished by saying that one body should control traffic management in towns as happens in Norwich where surpluses from car parks can offset on street parking enforcement and the Town Council could possibly take on this role.

Dave Stephens said they had asked NNDC for help with funding their shortfall but this had been declined.

The charge on the Esplanade would restrict use of the beach and beach huts and would put people off from visiting Sheringham and Cromer.

We would urge all of you to write to the EDP and our MP with your views as NCC are determined to pass this and this will be the first step to abolition of free parking.

In addition the siting of any meters would severely restrict access on our very narrow pavements.

Andy Bullen, Secretary, Sheringham Trade and Commerce

We also pointed out that NNDC had just come out with a proposal to form a North Norfolk

Sheringham Resident

Dear Margaret, I am really concerned about the effect that Parking Meters will have on the High Street and Station Road Shops in Sheringham and I am totally opposed to this idea. I realise that the County Council have to meet their budgets - as we all do - but this is so short sighted.

The District Council will lose Business Rates from closing shops, which I realise is not the problem of the County Council but District MUST do something to stop this ludicrous scheme. If the revenue raised from these proposed meters will pay the wages of the Traffic Wardens then why have Traffic Wardens in the first place!

STOP PRESS

There was a meeting with County highways, town councils and chambers of trade on Thursday afternoon 3rd March at Sheringham Town Council office. There was universal opposition to the NCC plans, including from NNDC. I said was happy to work with NCC, towns etc to find a system of enforcement that works and is fair etc but we would oppose current proposal which is not evidence or research-based and in my view is therefore unreasonable / irrational and susceptible to judicial review.

We now have to work together to find anto P arki ng Met er s other solution but not in North No rf olk a meter solution.

Dr Crippen’s Ghost

Written by Miranda Marshall – Director at Hayes + Storr

The Common Law rule of forfeiture arises from public policy and prevents a person who has unlawfully killed another from profiting from their death. It is intended to act as a disincentive to criminal activity and to reflect the public conscience. The Forfeiture Act 1982 gave the Court power to grant relief from this strict rule.

The forfeiture rule is vividly illustrated by the celebrated case of Re Crippen’s Estate (1911) where the Probate Court granted the right to administer the estate of Dr Crippen’s intestate murdered wife to one of her next-of-kin, thereby by-passing Dr Crippen who had been found guilty of his wife’s murder, and sentenced to death. The forfeiture rule is not confined to murder and has been applied to cases of manslaughter and suicide pacts

In the recent case of Henderson v Wilcox, a son Ian, who suffered from lifelong mental health problems, attacked his elderly frail mother brutally on a number of occasions leading, ultimately, to her death. She had cared from him for all his life but had become too old to do so. He was found guilty of manslaughter, rather than murder, as the criminal court accepted that he had not intended to kill her or to cause serious harm.

Ian applied for relief from forfeiture of her estate.

The house in which they had lived did not form part of her estate, as it had been transferred into two ‘family protection trusts’; one for Ian and one for his mother. The mother’s trust had herself, Ian and a nephew as beneficiaries.

Ian’s trust was a mirror image.

Cooke J held that the Trust was not subject to the forfeiture rule. This was because Ian’s interest under the Trust did not come into being as a result of his mother’s death (or as result of the criminal act which lead to his mother’s death). Anything that Ian received under his mother’s trust would be as a result of the Trustees’ decision to benefit him, rather than because of her death.

It was held that no modification to the forfeiture rule would apply to the estate of Ian’s mother. This meant that Ian was not to benefit from it. In making this decision, Cooke J looked at the case in the round and took all factors into account. He found Ian’s culpability high, although lessened by his low I.Q. and other difficulties. Ian had been held fit to plead in the criminal case and did not have diminished responsibility. And so, justice did not require modification of the forfeiture rule.

North Walsham Times 490 March 12th 2016

New physiotherapy service is tailored to local needs

People in North Norfolk and rural Broadland who require specialist physiotherapy will soon have access to a new clinic-based service working closely with local GP practices.

The new service – provided by The Integrated Care Clinics Ltd (TICCS) – will be designed around the needs of patients and offer sessions at doctors’ surgeries and community venues.

It has been commissioned by North Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to ensure patients receive appropriate treatment in a timely way while making the best use of NHS resources.

From 18 April, patients requiring specialist physiotherapy will be referred by their GP to TICCS, which provides a range of specialist treatment and rehab services. If appropriate, they will then receive a phone call to ensure they are offered self-care advice prior to their first appointment.

Patients will then be offered up to three sessions of physiotherapy, depending on their needs. Sessions will be held at GP practices or at local community venues, including leisure centres and village halls, although the exact locations will be confirmed at a later date.

Upon discharge, patients who require further assistance will be given 12 months’ free access to TICCS’ specialist online portal, which offers videos and advice tailored to people’s needs.

Those who do not have access to the web will receive leaflets providing the same information.

Some patients may also be referred to community exercise schemes – run by North Norfolk District Council and Broadland District Council – to further assist their rehabilitation.

In commissioning the new service, North Norfolk CCG followed a robust procurement process that adhered to national NHS rules. Its aim was to ensure patients had access to high quality treatment, tailored to local needs, delivered in an innovative and cost-effective way.

As part of this, bids from potential providers were assessed by a panel that included a patient representative and an external HR expert, alongside CCG staff and two senior GPs.

Plans for the new service were also discussed

by the CCG’s Community Engagement Panel, whose meetings are open to representatives from a range of local patient and stakeholder groups, and the feedback they provided was integral to the development of the service specifications.

GPs at the CCG’s 19 member practices were also asked for their views on what worked best for their patients, and their comments were used to shape the specifications around local needs.

Dr James Gair, a GP in North Walsham and the CCG’s clinical lead on community services, said he was confident that the new service would be a good one for patients.

“Our primary aim in designing the service was to ensure that it was tailored to the needs of people in North Norfolk and rural Broadland, and we believe it will meet those needs,” he said.

“At a time when the NHS is under huge financial pressure, CCGs are being asked to commission services in an innovative and progressive way to ensure they make the best use of resources.

“That was a key consideration in the procurement process, and we are delighted to be working with TICCS which already provides specialist MSK physiotherapy services to NHS patients for more than 30 other CCGs across the UK. It has an excellent reputation for the quality of its work.”

TICCS was awarded an initial two-year contract to provide musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy services by North Norfolk CCG following a thorough three-month NHS procurement process.

It is due to take over the contract from the current provider – Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust (NCH&C) – on Monday, April 18,

The Blakeney Hotel

with the option of a two-year extension.

Staff employed by NCH&C will be offered the chance to transfer to TICCS under TUPE rules.

TICCS was established in 1996 and now delivers more than 600,000 physiotherapy treatment sessions a year at 300 clinics across the UK – around 200,000 of them to NHS patients.

It has Care Quality Commission accreditation in locations where it undertakes regulated activity and it has a 98% positive patient rating nationally for its services which cover all aspects of MSK physiotherapy, including spinal and peripheral disorders, women’s health, post-operative treatment, vestibular rehabilitation and specialist triage assessment and treatment services.

Kevin Doyle, Managing Director of TICCS, said “We will aim to work very closely with the CCG’s commissioning team and patient focus groups to design a clinical delivery solution which best meets the needs of patients in North Norfolk.

“We are both delighted and excited to bring our extensive knowledge in delivering community-based physiotherapy services to the benefit of the local community.”

Councillors awarded 23% pay rise in North Norfolk

The North Norfolk Labour Party has criticised a move by the Conservative administration at North Norfolk District Council to award councillors a 23% pay rise, at the same time closing facilities and increasing charges like car parking fees.

The increase will see 48 councillors' allowances rise to £5,000 with the Leader of the Council's pay amounting to double that. All councillors will maintain a £200 broadband allowance, and their dinner budgets will increase too.

In the same budget councillors voted to increase car parking charges by 30p per hour in tourist towns, beach hut fees will rise by approximately 133pc, and some local facilities including toilets have been earmarked for closure.

The local Labour Party's online petition at www.stopthepayrise.co.uk was signed by hundreds of residents in just 48 hours, and called on the council to consult with local people to ensure the budget was fairer. It argued the deal was a bad one for North Norfolk residents as well as tourism and businesses. They noted a discount on second homes' council tax still remains, and council staff pay rises remains capped at 1%.

Stephen Burke, newly-elected chair of North Norfolk Labour Party, said "Residents in North Norfolk will be shocked to hear that their district councillors have awarded themselves a 23% pay rise at the same time as cutting services and hiking parking charges and other stealth taxes.

Clearly it's one rule for councillors and another for the rest of us - it is incredibly out of touch.

At the local elections just last May no councillor said they would award themselves a 23% pay increase or impose more cuts and charges.

Councillors have ignored the strength of feeling against the 23% pay rise.

Despite building up big reserves, they are going ahead with higher charges for residents. The budget is a bad deal for North Norfolk and we will continue to hold councillors to account, checking attendances, and ensuring they are working for their new increased wage."

Norman Lamb MP visits North Norfolk Speakers Club

North Norfolk MP Norman Lamb joined members of North Norfolk Speakers Club at their meeting on 17 February.

He listened to members’ prepared speeches and then took part in the Table Topics impromptu speech competition.

At the end of the meeting, Mr Lamb was invited to make the awards for Best Speech (Peter Battrick) and Best Table Topic (Louise Cowell).

“Being able to speak confidently in public is a very useful skill,” said Mr. Lamb. “Every good speaker has to be able to relax, and I’ve had a really enjoyable and relaxing evening in the company of some excellent North Norfolk speakers.

L – R: Sue Eastman (Area Director), Stuart Richards (President, North Norfolk Speakers Club), Norman Lamb, Paul Rosier (Toastmaster for the evening).

“Everyone has told me that being a member has not only improved their ability to speak in public but also their confidence and capabilities. I’m full of admiration for them all and they clearly enjoy themselves - more people should join!”

North Norfolk Speakers Club meets on alternate Wednesdays at North Walsham High School, Spenser Avenue, North Walsham.

THE NORTH NORFOLK GARDENER THE GARDEN POND

A garden pond brings year-round tranquillity to the garden, reflecting light and mirroring the sky and the surroundings. It also presents a chance to grow different plants and will become a haven for wildlife.

However, at this time of the year the garden pond can look very sorry for itself, overgrown and full of the leaves and other rubbish blown around the garden by the high winds we have experienced this winter.

Spring is a good time to overhaul your pond, pulling out the decaying plant matter, setting out new plants and lifting and dividing others.

Your activities might cause the water to cloud for a while but it will settle down as the plants begin to grow.

We can then look forward to the spring flowers. At the waterside, the giant golden buttercups of Caltha palustris appears, and joins the little water buttercup, Ranunculus

aquatilis, whose white flowers float above foliage submerged in the pool itself. Hooded spathes of the pure white bog arum, Calla palustris, and the butter-yellow skunk cabbage, Lysichiton americanum, whose dramatic leaves later reach 3-4 feet, break through the shallow water. In shallow water too, at the end of spring, the lovely blue, pink, purple and white flowers of Iris laevigata appear, and I. Pseudocorus cultivars grow in water about 1 ½ ft. deep.

Plants like the arrowhead, Sagittaria sagittifolia, link spring and summer, the fleshy, spear-shaped foliage rising majestically from the water to be later crowned with small white flower clusters. At the waters-edge, Eriophorum angustifolium, presents its cottonwool tufts in late spring, and the flowering rush, Butomus umbellatus, is topped with rose-pink flower heads in early summer. At lower levels, in the pool itself, the submerged water violet, Hottonia palustris, lifts stems of pale lilac blooms. These make perfect companions for the waxy, white water hawthorn, whose sweet-coloured flowers, appear from late spring to autumn. Water forget-me-not scrambles at the margins.

Very few people have room for all these plants

North Walsham Times 490 March 12th 2016

but this gives an idea of the range of plants available and I have not even mentioned the enormous number of wonderful water lilies.

Many ordinary garden plants such as hostas also look very good planted near water.

It is however important to remember that plants are functional as well as decorative, and help to keep the pool clean. To prevent the growth of algae, for example, about a third of the surface area should be covered with deep-water floating plants which will also provide shade and hiding places for fish and frogs. Other aquatics, known as oxygenators, will also help to keep algae at bay.

North Walsham & Dilham Canal Trust Film Evening

Attendance at this event on 25 February showed a great interest as over 100 people filed into the hall in North Walsham.

Some were members of the Trust, whilst others were just so very much interested in the Trust’s project to re-open the only canal in Norfolk, when realising the very many benefits that this achievement will bring to the area.

Historically, the downfall of this canal was the building of the railway which, as in many other regions of our country, provided a speedier method of transporting goods between provider and customer, be it coal or corn. Once the use of the canal minimised in the 1930s, lack of maintenance by the then owners meant that the canal bed became silted up and together with water being illegally pumped out for other purposes or being diverted for use at the Spa Common sewage plant, nature has taken over and presented many other problems such as minor flooding.

The first film of the evening showed ‘the Battle of Bacton’ (Bacton Wood Lock area) where the flow of the canal had been so restricted by silt and encroaching trees that one could barely see the canal at all. Once silt appears, it does not take too long for vegetation to grow on it and this multiplies to such an extent that trees appear, causing major stoppages and hence

up-stream flooding. One part of this film showed a very interesting duet featuring a JCB and ‘Weasel’, a dredger vessel de-silting the pound. Photo shots showed the end result of the cleared part of canal with a pontoon easing its way very gingerly through Spa Common Bridge for use further upstream.

Following a break, when refreshments were available and a raffle was drawn, the films continued with the clearance of the winding area at Swafield Bridge. A ‘winding’ area is where vessels are able to turn around and therefore has to be, in this case, at least 55 feet across to accommodate the canal wherrys. This area had become so silted up due to lack of maintenance that trees had grown to a height of some 90 feet in the silt in the canal. Interesting filming here showed the method used to reduce these to manageable sizes.

Not shown on the big screen, but of equal interest, was the presentation by the new Wildlife Officer of the Trust, Perry Hampson, of some of his findings (remarkable!) on the small screen. To the casual observer – a lot has changed on the parts of the canal where we have worked, birds, fish, plants etc. But to the dedicated observer it has been a remarkable change to so many living creatures, both aquatic and airborne.

Happisburgh Lifeboat Station

Happisburgh RNLI lifeboat volunteers are always training to get experience in all types of seas to be ready to respond to any callout in all conditions.

To this end, Happisburgh Atlantic 75 B-778 Joan Mary Lifeboat took to the sea on earlier this month with Christian Larter at the helm with Dave Cato and Cubitt Siely Jnr as crew into a heavy northerly sea and wind, to hone their skills. Alex Williams was driving the tractor. Have a look at the photos - would you be interested in becoming a crew member?

The charity welcomes people from all walks of life and no previous sea-going experience is

needed to join the lifeboat crew.

The RNLI provides fantastic training to turn ordinary people into lifesavers. By volunteering with the RNLI, people will gain some great experience, knowledge and skills.

Happisburgh RNLI is always looking for new volunteers to help run the lifesaving service. If you are aged 17 or over, physically fit, work or live within 10 minutes of the lifeboat station and eager to join a lifesaving organisation then please come by and say hello. You could also be trained to the standard of this crew and be

able to save lives in these type of seas.

Volunteers meet every Sunday morning at 9am and Tuesday evenings at 7pm for their weekly training exercises.

Call 01692 583269 and leave your details or email happisburgh@rnli.org.uk.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

In the last edition Toby, one of the vets at Westover, mentioned the importance of having your pets micro chipped because it helps reunite animals with their owners and also makes it easier to contact the owner if their beloved pet has been taken into the surgery with an injury. We agree entirely with his sentiments and are committed to encouraging people to have this done. All the cats and kittens re-homed by us have either been chipped, prior to leaving for their new home, or will be when receiving their 2nd vaccination.

Because we register all the micro chip details for our cats when they leave for their new homes on-line, I have access to the relevant websites to do this and can check the information held there. Care has to be taken not to breach Data Protection regulations but, if a stray cat is chipped, I can check to find out who the registered owner is and, hopefully, reunite them with their pet.

Our fosterers also have micro chip readers because we do need to check for chips when the cats come into care and, although it is not always possible, they will often go out to check a cat reported to us to be a “stray”. A recent Grooming Parlour call regarding a stray cat on a Sunday afternoon had a very Full Grooming & happy outcome. The Hydrobathing owner had reported it Kerstin Rogers Available missing to the micro chip company and we 01692 501212 were able to reunite 07817 179228 her with her owner. debonairdogs@btinternet.com

Debonair Dogs

Sadly, they often get called to check a cat that has been hit by a car and then have to break the news to the owner that the cat has died. At least in these instances the owner knows what has happened and is able to make appropriate arrangements.

Kaspian, one of the kittens from the feral colony

We would, however, point out that it is important to make sure the details for your cat are kept up to date on the micro chip registers. We have in the past faced the challenge of tracing an owner who no longer lives at the registered address; there have been instances when this was not possible. Boots, the little cat visiting us, is still at large and is not chipped, but will be once returned to his home.

If you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten, please ring 07880 256948 (to see if you are eligible for a voucher). This number is for vouchers only and will not be able to help with any other enquiries. The number also applies for those wishing to take advantage of our special neutering campaign.

If you are looking for a cat or kitten (or have any other queries) please give Stephanie a call on 01692 535858. Alternatively you can visit www.northwalsham.cats.org.uk/ for a description and photographs of the cats before giving us a call on the above number to find out where any particular cat is being fostered.

Solar Power Crushes Cromer Litter Revolutionary smart litter bin piloted in Cromer

A revolutionary smart litter bin powered by solar energy is being trialled by North Norfolk District Council in Cromer.

The ‘smart’ solar powered litter bin crushes rubbish down to stop litter being blown around the town.

The trial of the bin started on 10 February and runs through to Easter.

The ‘Clean Cube’ is a compactor litter bin near to No1 Fish and Chip Shop in Cromer. It is larger than a normal litter bin and when the litter reaches a certain height it compacts the waste within by using a hydraulic ram.

Are you caring for a loved one living with dementia?

Do you sometimes feel alone or isolated?

Feel despair and in need of a chat, but don’t know who to turn to?

Why not come along to our Carers’ Café!

It will be a supportive atmosphere, where you will be able to chat to other carers of people living with dementia.

Come along and have a cuppa with good company and, just for a few hours, hopefully your worries can be shared.

The Café will be open on the last Wednesday of each month starting March 30th 2016 at 1.30pm.

For further details please contact Laura Lodge on 01263 517 930.

Royal British Legion, Halsey House Care Home, 31 Norwich Road, Cromer, NR27 0BA

Cllr Angie Fitch-Tillett, North Norfolk District Council Cabinet Member for the Environment said “We are trialling this new bin to see how successful it could be in reducing the volume of waste so that our bins can be used for longer.

I think it’s great that we’re putting smart technology to work to help protect the environment.”

The solar powered Clean Cube can hold up to eight times the amount of litter of a normal litter bin - and the solar panel uses daylight to charge the internal battery.

Do your eyes give your age away?

Erase signs of ageing, safely and quickly. Latest treatments at the Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic

Dr Sanjay Gheyi MBBS MS FRCS BCAAM Medical director and laser surgeon at the Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic explains ‌

Effects of ageing skin gradually creep up. You feel good but the mirror tells a different story!

Women and men believe the body part that most reveals their age is the eye area, followed by hands and facial skin.

They want simple aesthetic solutions that help them look as good as they feel and minimise the early signs of sun damage. One in three want to erase their skin’s fine lines and wrinkles.

OK, you have tried botox but it can only do so much. Although it is a wonderful tool in experienced hands, it is not going to address all the changes that occur with ageing.

How can we help you reduce first signs of ageing around the eye area?

There are three main changes that occur with ageing. Loss of volume, loss of skin elasticity causing sagging skin and sun damage that affects the skin quality. Essentially we can address all three elements of ageing resulting in total rejuvenation and natural looking results.

Careful use of botox and fillers or fat injection can restore volume reduce dynamic wrinkles formed by muscle over activity. Another

revolutionary technique has been tear trough rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid fillers such as restylane. New injection methods now allow us to achieve excellent results without any bruising or downtime. Fat injections are also making a comeback and fat is an excellent filler to provide volume even in eyebrows and temporal hollows. It is especially attractive for patients who are considering liposuction.

Suctioned fat can be used to provide a volumetric lift to facial areas or for the whole face.

We can use lasers to create a new skin and reduce and reverse sun damage. This is only possible with a laser treatment. Finally if required we can use surgery to lift the brows or remove excess eyelid skin.

How do you perform eyelid skin tightening or skin removal to address more advanced changes of skin ageing?

Eyelid skin tightening remains a very popular procedure. Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures worldwide. Ageing changes in this area are almost universal.

How is laser eyelid surgery different from traditional eyelid surgery?

The traditional blepharoplasty is a more invasive procedure with considerable recovery period and often involves overnight hospital stay. It also often involves removal of muscle Ce leb ra tin g

layer and fat from around the eyeball. More invasive a procedure, longer is the list of potential complications.

Also too much fat removal can lead to a hollowed out artificial or operated upon look.

What are the advantages of our blepharoplasty technique?

With our technique the procedure is performed under pure local anaesthesia. We have also learned that fat removal is to be avoided unless there is obvious prolapse or bulging of the fat pads. This provides a natural look. Use of local anaesthesia allows a quick recovery whilst use of the laser reduces bleeding allowing a much faster recovery and minimal bruising. Although the scar is very fine and placed in a natural eyelid crease, we can also use the laser a few weeks after the procedure to further improve the surgical scar if required.

Despite a 15 -13 defeat at Chingford in their final game of February, the Vikings retained fifth place ahead of the 5 March home clash with table topping Amersham & Chiltern.

With six games left they have realistic hopes of a top five finish - last season they were eighth. In atrocious conditions, the Vikings got off to a dreadful start at Chingford, gifting their opponents twelve points early on. They clawed their way back to lead by a single point at the break, only to miss out on the win

North Walsham Table Tennis NWSCA on top in derby

NWSCA’s John Vaughan, Tom BaldockYaxley and Andy Beane battled NWSCB’s Dennis Elliott, Joe Kirkup and Paul Price with Vaughan winning the opener 12-10 in the fourth against Elliott. Baldock-Yaxley picked up a maximum as he kept Kirkup constantly under pressure and hit powerfully against Elliott to win his opening two outings both in straight before winning a hard hitting game of great angles against Price 11-13, 14-12, 11-8, 8-11, 11-1. Price picked up a brace producing some great backhand drives to beat Vaughan in five as well as controlling the majority of his win in four against Beane. Kirkup played bravely to win the last four points from 7-9 down as he beat Vaughan in five but was edged out 13-11 in the fourth by Beane who became more confident in his straight sets win against Elliott. The doubles in three concluded NWSCA’s 7-3 win. Also in the Premier Division, Gresham’s School A’s Colin Humphries, Haken Bennell and Seamus Chambers beat NWSCD’s newly

transferred Richard Westgate and the Phil’s Stone and Mole 9-1 with Westgate taking the point for the visitors in straight against Humphries. Mole saved five set-points to take the third before losing in five to Chambers while Stone also forced Humphries the distance after being two down and took a set from Bennell.

Chambers was taken to four by Westgate while the doubles saw Bennell and Chambers beat Westgate and Stone in four.

In the First Division NWSCE’s Tom Wardle and James and Ben Lester hosted LCC Lobster’s Chris Gould, Tim Dawson and Char Edwards (playing up) in a game that potentially could be important regarding relegation issues. Gould won the opener against James Lester in four and completed his maximum with no more sets dropped. James Lester took a brace including a win from two down against Dawson while Ben Lester beat Dawson in

Fantastic National Achievement for St Nicholas House Prep School

During our visit to the Time & Tide Museum in Great Yarmouth, the children in Y3/4 enjoyed seeing at an early Anglo-Saxon log-boat recovered from the River Ant between Smallburgh and Stalham.

On our return to school we were intrigued to discover that another boat, believed to be even older, had been found quite recently in the same stretch of water. We investigated the size and shape of the boat we had seen and wondered what it had been for, where it was going and how it was controlled.

The River Ant is quite close to our school so we went for a walk along it, thinking about what would have been different around twelve hundred years ago.

Having seen the British Museum’s Huge History competition which challenged teachers to find ways of teaching history through objects, (promoted by Neil Macgregor of ‘A History of the World in 100 Objects’ fame), Y3/4 teacher, Mrs. Hitchens, and her class submitted a PowerPoint presentation about the log-boat.

This was judged to be runner–up in the national competition and the class have won a trip to the British Museum to be hosted by their staff and shown around behind the scenes.

Mrs. Hitchens said “I’m thrilled that the children have got this wonderful opportunity and that our work will be on the TES and Huge History websites for everyone to see.”

James Fraser (Y3), who sails on the Broads and has some experience of the local waters, really enjoyed this project and said “we put tables together to get the size of the boat and we sat people in the space. We fitted in 4 children so we thought it might have been for two adults. We think one person rowed the boat whilst another worked from the boat,

maybe clearing reeds or fishing.

This was a good project and I learned that the type of wood used was really strong.” James is looking forward to going down to London and seeing if they have some boats in their store that are not usually seen by people visiting the museum.

The British Museum is one of the Testing how many it would carry – world’s great museums and what is probably two adults kneeling on display is a fraction of the collection so to be able to look behind the scenes will be like glimpsing the hidden parts of an iceberg.

The announcement of the winning entries and a link to the St Nicholas House study can be found at www.tes.com/hugehistory

Please contact us at Crayford and Abbs on 01263 588160, whereby we can arrange to drop them off on regular basis.
