    We just wanted to remind you of the Community at Heart Lottery. If you know of any community, sport or school groups that could do with some financial support then please encourage them to sign up to our local lottery.

    Please also encourage residents to play too, tickets cost £1 and when supporters buy a ticket they will be able to choose what Good Cause to support. 50% of ticket sales will go to the person’s nominated good cause and 10% will go into a community fund run by Broadland District Council to benefit local good causes. The remaining 40% will go towards the prize money.

    It’s a win-win for players as they can support a local group they may benefit from and also be in with a chance of winning £25/£250 each week or even £25,000 each month plus additional voucher prizes. Over the past 18 months Broadland residents winnings have totalled £13,675.00!

    Marriott’s Way 10K

    Our annual and very popular 10 kilometre race from Aylsham to Reepham along Marriott’s Way returns this year on Sunday 9 October. Entries to this great race are now open and can be purchased HERE

    The mostly off-road and generally quite flat terrain, make this a great choice for beginner and experienced runners alike. Businesses and organisations are also encouraged to get involved, by getting a team of four together and taking up the MW10k corporate challenge. Last year the corporate challenge trophy was won by Norfolk County Council.

    Please share this information with any local running/community groups in your area or even local business that might be interested in taking part.

  • Neighbourhood Plan: Call for Sites

    Reedham Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group is carrying out a Call for Sites for Affordable Housing and Green Space.

    A call for sites was undertaken for the Greater Norwich Local Plan in 2016. As part of this, 2 sites were promoted in Reedham, land to the east of Station Road and land at Mill Road, both of which have been allocated in the emerging local plan.

    Reedham Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group is undertaking a further ‘Call for Sites’ just for the Reedham parish area to identify available sites that can be considered specifically for affordable housing growth (with an element of market housing) and/or a central green space.

    The central green space envisioned could include room for a Village Green, or informal open grassland, or formal Garden Park or landscaped area, or a mixture of any of them.

    The Site Submission Form for completion by any interested parties who want to promote a site for a specific use or development to be allocated in the Reedham Neighbourhood Plan can be found here: 2022 Reedham Call for Sites

    The closing date for submissions is 15th July 2022.

  • New kerbside collection service for textiles, small electrical items, and batteries

    Broadland District Council has introduced a free kerbside collection service for textiles, small electrical items and batteries that has started across the district today. Items need to be placed in weatherproof standard size carrier bags or smaller and placed out beside either the recycling or rubbish bin on the residents collection day. The bags cannot be mixed meaning that textiles, electrical items and batteries all need placing in separate bags. This is because they are sent to different end destinations for reuse or recycling.

    Electrical, battery and textile_External A4 poster

    Understandably some residents are contacting Broadland about the use of carrier bags. They appreciate that this isn’t ideal but the items need to be separated into their individual material streams, kept together during transport and protected from the weather. There is also limited capacity in the cage under the vehicle and boxes will not be appropriate.   There is a need to keep the items together in their material streams and dry during transport, where they may be subject to road surface water, and this means that it is not possible to provide reusable bags or boxes as they cannot be returned to the householder on collection. The belief is that the benefits of reusing and recycling the textiles, batteries and electrical items through this service outweighs the use of plastic bags. This service will reduce the amount of textiles, small electrical items and batteries currently placed in the rubbish bin. It will make the reuse and recycling of these items more accessible to residents especially those that are unable to travel so the only option has been to place them in the rubbish bin at home.

    This service is for all properties that have individual bins and not for those that have shared/ communal bins. Trials will take place later this year at some communal sites and the results of these will hopefully help as to expand the service further to these properties.

    Here are some FAQs for your information – Final FAQ kerbside WEEE textile baterries.
