• Cllr Britcher welcomed the decision to not raise the council tax at Broadland Council for
2022/2023
• Cllr Prutton outlined the process for the £150 refund for those residing in council tax
properties in bands A-D for energy costs and advised there would be discretionary
payments for higher bands.
• Cllr Gurney advised that she will confirm the location for the proposed pedestrian
crossing on Middletons Lane. The roadworks on the Sweetbriar bridge will continue for 4-
5 weeks. She had arranged for traffic lights to be located on the bridge on the diversion
route and for wardens to monitor the traffic. A burst water main outside the chemist had
resulted in four way traffic lights, but this was now repaired. A new drainage system will
be installed at Fifers Lane but the works cannot be postponed to allow other local works
to finish. The highways forward plan projects for Hellesdon were outlined and it was
noted that the Broadland/South Norfolk Accommodation review remained in progress.
• Beat Officer PC Matt Hill was welcomed to the meeting. He reported that the current
Safer Neighbourhood Team priorities are speeding, burglaries and theft from vehicles. A
day of action was held on the Reepham Road to take enforcement action against those
speeding. The police are aware of the problems with parking outside the school and are
trying to book a civil enforcement officer to assist. The new SNT priorities will be
speeding and road safety and anti-social behaviour, the latter of which will result in high
visibility patrols. The clerk is to find out if the SAM data is sent to the police.

tender at the earliest opportunity, with an intended start date for as soon as possible after the

Item 10 – SLCC Conference

Cllr Gurney and the Clerk attended the SLCC Conference on 25th March. During this conference the
following presentations were made and subsequent discussions held about Hellesdon.

Speaker: Dr Nigel Hargreaves – Climate Change Commissioner & Founder of Synfo

The rapid increase in climate change was discussed and the impact it will have, not only globally by
locally. We discussed ‘localising’ and ‘doing our bit’. Some local options we discussed were:

1) Rainwater harvesting from the roof of the community centre, to irrigate the bowling green.
We discussed the extent of the surface area of the community centre roof and feel that this
could be explored further to conserve water.
2) For future tree planting schemes, to consider which trees are best at collecting CO2 and
which would be hardier in the anticipated future climate.
3) Prioritising climate in Neighbourhood Plans.
4) Looking ‘upstream’ when it comes to procurement. Are ‘cheaper’ materials coming from
areas of forced labour?

5) Paying extra for ‘green’ electricity

6) Community fridges to reduce food waste and support local people.

Speaker: Richard Herrell – Norfolk Fire and Rescue

Community Emergency Planning was discussed. We established that Hellesdon has a community
emergency plan for large events such as an incident at the airport or at the Sweet Briar Industrial
Estate. But it was unsure if there was a plan in place for small scale incidents whereby local people
would need support for a period of time. These events may include localised power failure, localised
flooding or snow. Contact is being made with the Community Resilience officers at Broadland council
to progress this further.

The Emergency Rest Station Box that was always kept in the community centre is now in the parish
office for safe keeping.

Speaker: Blachere Illuminations

Blachere discussed more environmentally friendly ways to decorate the parish. We discussed long
lasting artificial trees, to prevent real trees being felled:

More details on the Nordika range can be found here

There may be a possibility for the Bull Roundabout, and also for decorating the community centre,
as much of the community centre decorations have become mouldy after being stored for so long in
damp conditions.

21
Decorations made from recycled plastic bottles were also shown. These included snowflakes:

And also flowers and bees

22
And finally an innovative way of encouraging people to recycle!

23
Speaker: Rigby Taylor

Representatives from Rigby Taylor discussed the use of wild flowers as part of landscape
management in parishes. Project Pollin-8 was also discussed as part of sowing seeds that are
particularly attractive to bees, in primarily blue colours.

A free sample of ‘Alliance’ seeds which consists of cornflowers and poppies will be send to Hellesdon
Parish Council for a test area.

Speaker: Green and Clean

‘Green’ cemeteries and crematoria were discussed and how recent changes in environmental
legislation could affect parishes that are responsible for burials.

It was emphasised that cemeteries formed part of land use and sustainability and ought to be
lobbied to be part of District Local Plans.

Speaker: Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

Discussions occurred about the types of event being held and the insurances to be in place in case of
unforeseen incidents.

Hellesdon Parish Council has offered to do a presentation at a future event on community apiaries

The slides from the event can be found here
