PEDESTRIANISATION TRIAL: SHERINGHAM TOWN CENTRE

In the survey last year, a large majority said that they wanted to see a pedestrianisation trial in Sheringham Town Centre, and most wanted a trial operating between 10am-4pm, from the High Street down to the Prom.

The pedestrianisation working party is proposing a pedestrianisation trial on the weekends of 7/8 April 2018, 11/12 August 2018 and for the next two consecutive weekends, 7/8 December from 10am to 4pm, from just north of the Clock Tower to the Prom.

PEDESTRIANISATION TRIAL : SHERINGHAM TOWN CENTRE

Continued from front cover...

Some have asked questions about how the trial will work or how it will affect people living and working in the ‘pedestrianised zone’. Some FAQs/Answers are below which we hope will answer those questions.

If anyone has further concerns or questions, then please contact me on judy_oliver@talk21.com; or on: 07710 236099

FAQS Blue Badge holders 1. Q I am a blue badge holder. Will I be able to take my car into the pedestrianised zone?

A Yes, you will be able to take your car into the pedestrianised zone at all times.

2. Q I am a blue badge holder. Will I be able to park in the pedestrianised zone?

A Yes, you will be able to stop, just as you do now, in the parking bays. You will also be able to park in the Shannocks car park.

Since only blue badge holders (and a very few other cars) will be allowed into the pedestrianised zone with their cars, there will be more space than usual in the Shannocks car park.

Residents living in pedestrianised zone 3. Q I live in the proposed pedestrianised zone. Will I be able to get to and from my home during the trial?

A Yes. You will be able to get to and from your home at all times, as now.

4. Q I live in the proposed Pedestrianised Zone. Will I be able to take a taxi to my front door during the trial if I need to?

A Yes, you can be dropped off by taxi at all times during the trial.

But we would ask, if you can walk from the Clock Tower, that you walk that last bit as we are trying to make this as pedestrianisation friendly as possible.

Letting property in pedestrianised zone 5. Q I let property in the pedestrianised zone. What will happen to my guests?

A The stewards at the barriers to the pedestrianised zone will let your guests enter the pedestrianised zone by car to drop off their luggage etc. Then they will need to move their car(s) to a car park, including Shannocks car park, or to another parking place.

6. Q I let property in the pedestrianised zone. I need to let my cleaners in to get the property for the next let. What do I do?

A The stewards will let your cleaners into the pedestrianised zone with to drop off their cleaning equipment.

Holt and District Probus Club

A puzzle for members of Holt and District Probus Club - all they knew about their December meeting’s speaker was that he was to be Robert (Bob) Ward and the title was ‘A Black Box’.

A Black Box? Theories were many. But when Bob got up to speak, what he produced was a Kodak Box Brownie camera. His talk was about the development of photography which actually began a bit before the Brownie, with Daguerrotype photos and others. But the Box Brownie was the camera developed by Eastman Kodak that started photography for the masses.

It had a simple lens and shutter, but whereas early cameras had used things like glass plates coated with chemicals, the Brownie used a removable roll of film, which was taken usually to the local Chemist shop - and

processed to become a negative which then was printed to create the picture. It was an inexpensive process (comparatively so, anyway) and soon Mum and Dad on the beach at Cromer, Clacton or Brighton were immortalised via the Kodak Box Brownie.

Progress to more sophisticated film cameras went on, and then the electronic digital cameras so familiar now eventually destroyed the film camera business, including the previously vast Eastman Kodak company, which has been through several bankruptcy cases and survives as a tiny vestige of what it was.

Bob Ward’s entertaining talk was liberally illustrated with examples, some being photographs from his own family album.

Meetings of Holt and District Probus Club are normally held at lunchtime on the first Thursday of each month at the

Speaker Bob Ward

Feathers in Holt. Enquiries about membership (or about a trial visit - visitors are most welcome) should be made to Secretary Alan Holmes on 01263 710782.

Gresham’s Girls release new single

A year after releasing their first single, Gresham’s Girls have recorded a cover version of the Depeche Mode song, Enjoy the Silence, to help raise money for school charities.

In 2016, a group of school friends at Gresham’s School, Holt recorded their first single, a soulful version of Sit Down by James’ raising £1000 for the charity YoungMinds.

Following the success of this release, Gresham’s Girls decided to record another single for Christmas 2017.

This year Gresham’s Girls are Maria Butcher, Clementine Chapple, Iris Croft, Ella Fairbairn-Day, Amelia Fox, Rachel Heath, Sophy Kenyon, Jemima Porter, Molly Sankey and Romy Sipek.

Using the school’s state-of-theart recording studio in the Britten Building, the girls recorded and produced the single with the help of music teachers Chris Cooper and Justin Myers.

Douglas Robb, Headmaster said “Gresham’s Girls have produced an enchanting cover version of this song and I hope their efforts will be rewarded by raising lots of money for our school charities. I will watch with interest the progress of the single over the coming months”.

The single is available as a download from Bandcamp and iTunes and all proceeds will go to this year’s school charities, the Opalagilagi School, Kenya and I Afrika Boy’s Home in Nairobi.

Cantamus Choir Contemporary Music for All On Saturday 3 March Cantamus Choir will be performing with London-based new music ensemble Ixion, conducted by Michael Finnissy, at two concerts, a teatime concert at 3pm at West Runton Church, NR27 9QT and an evening concert at 7pm at Thorpe Market Church, NR11 8UA These concerts are part of the 'Contemporary Music for All’ National Day of New Music organised by CoMA and supported by the Arts Council. Between 20 and 30 events will take place, right across the UK but these are the ONLY event planned in Norfolk. It is hoped that this will be the first of an annual ‘festival’.

Four exciting new pieces by Norfolk Composers, performed by the acclaimed Londonbased new music ensemble Ixion. Two of the

four works are based on a chorus from Handel's ‘Messiah’, and two on a chorus from Stainer’s ‘Crucifixion’. There will also be two short solo instrumental pieces by Andrew Toovey and Greg Rose, and a setting of William Blake by Sheringham-based Michael Finnissy. ‘Cantamus' is the only group representing Norfolk.

The names of the (Norfolk) composers are Pat Hanchet, Colin Blundell, Martyn Craft, and David Morgan.

Cantamus begun as a community choir at St Margaret’s church in Thorpe Market, part of a strong musical tradition that has flourished in the church for a number of years.

Under the Directorship of Philip Adams, the choir has successfully been expanding its repertoire and scope.

CoMA (Contemporary Music for All) was founded in 1993 to enable musicians of all

Weather with Ned Nimbus

2017 was an average year overall with the usual variations you would expect from our climate. Globally the outcome has been the same, even the hurricane season promised a busy year but, as the past six years have been, somewhat quiet.

The past three months had a prominence of high pressure over or close to us and at times to the west of us, letting in cold northerly winds. The next three months will again be a transient mix but with the chance of some longer drier spells but in line with our climate expectations.

Also, with daylight hours now increasing, February and March will not disappoint, with some spring like spells. But watch out for frosts as winds drop out under high pressure.

Ned Nimbus, December 2017

Coltishall Clinic facial rejuvenation approach: the natural look

There is no shortage of practitioners from a variety of backgrounds offering dermal fillers and Botox injections. The trouble is that a majority of these practitioners do not understand how the face ages and/or have a limited number of treatments to offer. Like in any other branch of medicine, correct diagnosis leads to correct treatment. We aim to make a diagnosis and then suggest treatments based on your unique needs. We need a balanced approach rather than too much of the wrong thing! Too tight 'wind tunnel' look facelift surgeries have fallen out of favour and we are in an era of over filling. What I call 'pillow faces'. Sadly, it is not only the patients, but practitioners are doing this to themselves too. Looking filled has almost become the norm! When Botox first came out it was the norm to see frozen expressionless faces. Patients are now moving away from too much Botox and requesting less of the stuff so they still have movement but look softer and well rested.

So what is our approach of facial rejuvenation at the Coltishall Clinic?

Multiple changes occur as we age. By addressing all these, truly harmonious and natural looking results can be achieved. Our approach is to produce natural looking, pleasing and harmonious results.

What happens with facial ageing and how we can help?

1. Loss of skin quality, sun exposure and smoking related changes.

Solution- skin care and rejuvenation treatments. You need a machine or laser that is suitable for your unique concerns. We are one of the very few clinics in the country who have invested in the full range of specialised dermatological lasers. Often a combination of lasers is required to produce best results. Dedicated Medical Lasers are advanced tools and much better than cheap devices that have become widely available to non-medical personnel since deregulation of lasers.

2. Hyper dynamic wrinkles or in simpler terms wrinkles caused by over use or over activity of facial expression muscles. Some examples are frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet.

XQ59559K001 05-Sep-2017 2:40 Solution- judicious use of Botox injections to soften lines and wrinkles caused by muscle action.

3. Loss of volume - we lose bone, fat and muscle resulting in facial deflation and sagging of tissues.

Solution- dermal fillers to restore lost volume and facelift to reposition sagging tissues and remove excess skin. Fillers have come a long way and today's fillers are natural, highly purified products, which are extremely unlikely to produce allergic reactions or other problems.

One caveat is to stay away from permanent fillers. The only permanent filler I use is your own fat to restore the facial volume.

However, you do not need extensive surgery under general anaesthesia. By improving your skin quality and replacing lost volume you are less likely to need extensive surgery.

Losing it?

Miranda Marshall, Director, Hayes + Storr

Assessing mental capacity is a science. It is time-specific and decision specific. In law “a person lacks mental capacity in relation to a matter if, at the material time, he is unable to make a decision for himself in relation to the matter because of an impairment of, or a disturbance in the functioning of the mind or brain” (Mental Capacity Act 2005 “The Act”).

Loss of mental capacity to make a decision can be partial, temporary or change over time.

There are specific, defined legal tests for the capacity to do the following: to make a Will, to make a gift, to litigate, to enter into a contract or a marriage.

In most other matters it is the principles set out in The Act which must be used to determine capacity. Presumption of capacity is the first principle of The Act: a person is assumed to have capacity unless proved otherwise. The person claiming that another lacks capacity should be able to provide proof of that incapacity and the test is on the ‘balance of probabilities’ (the standard civil, as opposed to criminal, proof).

A person’s age, appearance, condition or behaviour does not by itself establish a lack of mental capacity.

There are two stages to assessment of mental capacity: diagnostic and functional.

Examples of an impairment or disturbance which can be diagnosed include dementia, significant learning disabilities, conditions relating to mental illness, concussion, delirium and symptoms of alcohol and drug use.

The functional assessment establishes lack of capacity to understand information, retain it in the mind, use it in the decision-making process and then to communicate the decision. All practicable steps to help that decision-making should be taken. Supported decision-making involves providing relevant information which can be done in a number of different ways. It is important to communicate appropriately and to make the person feel at ease.

Where someone has fluctuating capacity, aiding their memory and making the decision in parts and at the right time can all help.

The third principle of the Act is that someone should not be treated as incapable of making a decision because their decision may seem unwise. It is the quality of the decision-making rather than the reasonableness of the decision that matters.

We all have different ways of looking at the world.

This article aims to supply general information, but it is not intended to constitute advice. Every effort is made to ensure that the law referred to is correct at the date of publication and to avoid any statement which may mislead. However no duty of care is assumed to any person and no liability is accepted for any omission or inaccuracy. Always seek our specific advice.

If you would like further advice on this matter please contact Miranda on 01328 710210. If you require advice on any other legal matter please call 01692 503081 or email law@hayes-storr.com.

Information roadshows are aiming to help county’s residents manage energy bills

For many people, rising electricity, gas and heating oil bills are an increasing concern, not just over this winter but for the foreseeable future – and everyone would welcome ideas on how to save money.

Community Action Norfolk, in association with the Big Energy Saving Network, is hosting free public information roadshows offering impartial advice and guidance to local residents about getting the best deal from electricity, gas and heating oil suppliers, government schemes that help with paying bills and how smart meters can help manage energy consumption.

There will also be information about finding support when raising concerns about NHS treatment and getting broadband in so-called ‘not-spot’ areas.

Your legal matters in safe hands Relax and let Hayes + Storr Solicitors handle your family legal matters with the care and professionalism you deserve.

Jon Clemo, Chief Executive of Community Action Norfolk said “We work with a wide and diverse range of community-based organisations and voluntary groups, most of whom address social or economic need in its differing forms. The cost of heating is a major worry for many households across the county, with some facing the choice of ‘heat or eat’. Our roadshows, of which there’ll be more in other locations in the near future, are aimed at helping people discover ways of saving on essential costs and getting best value for money.”

CAN staff are also providing free training for front-line professionals and volunteers whose work involves regular contact with people in the community. Advisors from Community Action Norfolk are available to host an event for community groups or professional organisations anywhere in the county. Contact Rik Martin on 01362 698216 or e-mail rik.martin@communityactionnorfolk.org.uk

The upcoming roadshows will be held at Aylsham Care Trust (St Michael’s Ave) on Thursday 25 January at 10am, Snettisham Memorial Hall on Monday 22 January at 6.30 pm, North Walsham Community Centre on Thursday 1 February at 10am and Downham Market Town Hall on Thursday 8 February at 10am.

North Norfolk Photographic Society

Things did not go entirely according to plan on Wednesday 6 December.

The occasion being club competitions for projected digital images, an experienced and qualified judge had been booked to assess the pictures. But he did not arrive – due, as was later learned, to sudden domestic bad news.

So Plan B was quickly brought into operation which was for three members who did not have images in the competition to mark the images (out of 10) and the three marks for each picture were averaged to arrive at 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

As usual, Novice member

were first to compete and the winner was Barrie Price with a picture of Cromer Pier in a storm. Second was ‘Patterns of Light’

by Tony Shipp a night time view of a building with beams of light throwing patterns.

Third was a beautiful photograph of pink feathers by Val Dawson.

four people then tied for second place - ‘Bottoms Up’

by Hugh Barton, a bird doing ‘what it says on the tin’, ‘Fulmar checking out the girls’ from Lizzie Wallis, again the title of the shot says it all, ‘Sealions’ by Liz Akers, also self-explanatory, and ‘Sleepy Sanderlings’ by Paul Richards, a row of a dozen or so sanderlings with their heads tucked under their wings!

An honourable mention went to Alan Dedman with ‘When the Boat Comes In’, a scene including a fishing boat returning to the beach, with an artist with his easel paining the scene.

Advanced Section 1st place 'Glen Shiel' by Nick Akers

Then the more advanced members. Here the judging became more difficult!

Although a deserved first place Novice Section 1st place 'Storm Cromer Pier' by Barrie went to Nick Akers with a landscape shot of Glen Shiel, Price

Although the absence of the judge was a shame, the evening went well and ‘Plan B’ might be adopted on purpose some time!

Panto puts smile on face of theatre as well as audiences

Sell out panto shows at Sheringham have provided a bonus to the coffers of the town’s Little Theatre.

Nearly 8,000 people saw 43 shows of the Wizard of Oz over the festive period. Many performances were sold out and there was a waiting list for ticket cancellations.

Theatre director Debbie Thompson said “The panto has been a tremendous success. Takings were above budget – which is a huge help as panto and summer drama are the most commercially important seasons we have and support our other activities during the year.

“Audience feedback was that it was the best panto yet – with a brilliant script, lots of energy and magical elements such as the projection work, sets and puppets.

We are sorry if people could not get tickets, but would encourage them to book early for the next panto,” Fun from the successful Wizard of Oz panto at she added.

Sheringham Little Theatre It will be Beauty Photo: Matt Coomber and the Beast running 7 December to 1 January – using the same creative team as this year, headed by director Nick Earnshaw. Tickets will go on sale in March.

In March (1-3) there is also a three-day festival weekend of Ealing Comedy films (Lavender Hill Mob, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Passport to Pimlico, Man in the White Suit and Whisky Galore)

Other highlights include : January 19-20 – Alan Ayckbourn’s Confusions by Stage Direct January 21 – Rigoletto screening from the Royal Opera House January 28 – jazz from the Red Shadow Quartet February 6 – Morgan and West Time Travelling Magicians.

Gardening Introspection in January

By Matt Carlton of Norfolk Landscape Gardeners I like starting projects in January. That's the best time to start something.

It's so inward.

(Carolyn Chute)

Let’s be inward for this month. I want you to be introspective and thoughtful. I want you to look out of your windows and think of nicer things. Now is the time to spend contemplating the coming year and how you want your outside space to reflect who you are.

We love our homes to say something about who we are, we love to show people our collections, decorations, furniture and décor as they are eloquent translators of ourselves, saying “this is me and this is who I am” to those who visit.

We share our musical tastes for the same reason, we are unstinting in our praise for that film which touched us deeply and which we long to share with someone, we wax lyrical about a new restaurant which sent our taste

01692 405301

ND ME M CO RE

buds into a frenzy of delight. All these things speak of who we are.

Would you not want the same from your garden?

Are you a staunch traditionalist, do you love your rose beds and cottage garden planting, the sounds of birds and bees, the smell of the flowers, the quintessential “Englishness”?

Or do the shapes and colours of the oriental garden appeal to you?

Maybe you would love to recreate the Mediterranean in your garden and sit at a table under a pergola, warmed by the sun, refreshed by Chinanti, with a plate of olives and feta at your elbow?

The summer may seem a long way off, but already, in the exposed soils in your garden are soaking up the rainfall, microorganisms within the soil are breaking down the fallen leaves and autumnal detritus to convert it into useable and accessible energy for the new growth to come.

Earthworms tunnel through the soil, aerating it and improving texture and structure in

readiness for the coming season.

Let us take nature as our guide and be similarly proactive.

So, for this months “homework” I would like you to imagine how you would like your garden to make you feel. Ignore the technical, ignore the price, ignore the “how” and concentrate on the feeling. It is the job of a garden designer to work with you and make that feeling happen, so don’t get hung up on the details, just take an hour to look into your garden and let yourself imagine. Write down your thoughts, your ideas, your feelings.

We’ll do the rest

"There are two seasonal diversions that can ease the bite of any winter. One is the January thaw. The other is the seed catalogues."

Age UK Norfolk - Benefit Check Campaign

Many older people are entitled to claim benefits – but not everyone is aware of what their entitlements are, and how to claim. Age UK Norfolk is working hard to raise awareness so that those in later life, and their carers, can claim; and helping them along the way to make those claims.

The awareness campaign begins in January and the charity is aiming to ensure that the people concerned: ■ Will be better informed.

■ Know their rights.

■ Are claiming their entitlements.

■ Are fully informed about attendance allowance, pension credit, council tax benefit etc.

■ Get the help and assistance they need to claim those benefits.

Share your stories of the coast

Age UK Norfolk hopes to achieve this by offering: ■ Benefit entitlement checks.

■ Free and confidential advice about home safety, housing, care issues etc.

■ Providing this service in a place of a claimant’s choice, either in their own homes, at Age UK Norfolk’s premises, in a care home, or any other venue that is deemed suitable.

To find out more about benefit checks, call the Age UK Norfolk advice line on 0300 500 1217, Monday-Friday 10am-4pm.

Christmas Celebrations at the Day Services Hub

Many of our regular visitors enjoyed a Christmas lunch and party at the Hub last month.

The Norfolk Coast Area celebrates 50 years as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty this April.

The official designation as a protected area – given in 1968 – enables us to take action, as well as highlighting that the area belongs, in an important way, to us all. Natural systems are under threat from global warming and other factors, and there is much to be done to safeguard heritage. In this special year, we are looking back to celebrate – and forward to a healthy future for this beautiful place.

We would love to hear from anyone who has any memories of the coast, how life was, living and working in the area in 1968. If you have any stories, photos or videos of the area that you would be happy to share, please get in touch. Call 01328 850530 or email helen.timson@norfolk.gov.uk

WEYBOURNE WI NEW YEAR’S LUNCH

On Wednesday 3 January, 34 members of Weybourne WI gathered at Sheringham Golf Club for the first meeting of the new year.

As high winds and squally showers beat against the windows, we all enjoyed a delicious lunch, accompanied by much chattering and laughter.

At the end of the meal a short business meeting was held and a vote was taken to choose the resolution we plan to put forward at our National Federation Annual Meeting.

The next meeting will be held at Weybourne Village Hall on 7 February, when we shall be entertained by Steve Barratt with a talk entitled ‘Who’d be a Hotel Inspector’.

Another New Year

Christmas is over, the New Year’s come and gone.

We’re getting back to normal now the visitors have flown.

As we move through the winter, the weather’s closing in, But now the shortest day has gone, the future’s not so dim.

We’ve longer days a-coming, spring’s only weeks away.

Evenings are getting longer and summer’s on its way.

Soon we’ll see the snowdrops, albeit wrapped in snow, Then the flowers of the spring will give us such a show.

What a lovely, hopeful time this new year brings to all, With brand new schemes to plot and plan as winter starts to pall.

No matter if they come to nought, planning is such fun, Go north or south, east or west or maybe just stay home.

We watch the freezing frosts and snow and wait with bated breath, Beside our fires, our hearts aglow, for brighter days ahead!

Norman Lamb quizzed on being an MP by ErpinghamNorth school children Sheringham Norfolk Post

Last month Norman Lamb MP met with Erpingham Primary School Class 3 pupils, who are currently studying Ancient Greece and democracy.

They quizzed him on his role in Parliament and the job in general, which he described as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;never boringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. When asked why he became an MP, Mr Lamb talked about being inspired by Nelson Mandela and the way he united people, and said he felt

Mr Lamb said â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fantastic talking about democracy with Class Three - I hope to see some of them on the front benches in future years.â&#x20AC;? lucky to have a job that allows him to help others.

One student, Alfie, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never seen an MP. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like I expected. He told us lots of information we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, such as MPs argue in parliament and they can behave worse than children!â&#x20AC;?

SHERINGHAM 01263 823079

Dear Margaret,

It may be of interest to your readers (and I've not seen it reported anywhere) that just before Christmas a new mobile phone mast was turned on in Sheringham.

It has been over a year in the planning and was originally mooted for the grounds of the Leisure Centre. Apparently, ground problems made that site unsuitable and it is now situated in Sheringham High School grounds.

It finally brings 2G and 4G internet to mobiles on the west side of Sheringham. Until now, the high ground between those of us on this side of the town and the mast at the fire station has prevented any decent signal, particularly on the Greenlands Estate.

It is really appreciated by those of us who, up until now, have had to walk to the end of the main road, often in the rain, to get any signal.

We were originally contacted by letter from the Pegasus Group, who handled the planning, for views about the plan and I imagine there were no objections! I kept in touch with them and they were very helpful and informative. It is excellent when a local plan like this comes together.

Regards, Phil Hughes, Sheringham

Dear Margaret,

A big, big thank you to the owners of Bakehouse on Station Road in Sheringham for their seasonal wares in December 2017 and previous years.

It is always welcome and the properties we delivered to about Sheringham think so too.

Thanks, Name supplied Registered Charity No. 214779

Cat owners know that their cats like to exercise but also enjoy taking some time out for relaxation. To cater for this our enclosures have a large raised sleeping area, in addition to the exercise area which contains toys and activities to keep our guests entertained.

All our guests are cared for by Toll Barn Vets staff which means they have a fully qualified vet and nurse available to them 24/7 should they need it.

This also enables us to provide any daily medication your cat requires and to monitor any health problems they may have, allowing you to have your own stress free holiday knowing that your cat is receiving the best possible care.

An open day will be held on

The blame for this lies firmly at the government’s door. Ministers refused to provide the funding that top NHS officials said was necessary and now patients are paying the price. It’s time to give the NHS and care the extra cash they desperately need by putting a penny on income tax. We also desperately need a cross-party convention to look into how to fund the NHS and care in the long-term.”

Hedgehog Haven

Since my last article, two more hedgehogs have come into care for overwintering.

Reviewing 2017, starting on 28 January there were 77 admissions, 22 were released and 44 are still in care - 37 with me and the others being overwintered elsewhere.

Two of the smaller ones, although eating, are not gaining weight, so I have sent a faecal sample to Vale Wildlife Centre where, for a small fee, this will be examined under a microscope to check for any internal parasites.Depending on the results, I will then know which medication to administer.

Don't forget if the weather is mild, hedgehogs might emerge to seek some food and water before hibernating for a few more weeks so keep a lookout for them.

First Full Year Success

Henleys Estate Agents are celebrating their achievements for 2017.

From their Cromer office, they sale agreed a total 104 properties across North Norfolk worth £31 million pounds.
