Plan to introduce on-streetparking meters scrapped

A controversial plan to introduce on-street parking meters to Cromerand Sheringham has been stopped in its tracks after the District Councilurged a rethink.Plans to bring in on-street parking had been suggested by Norfolk

Parking Partnership, which is operated by Norfolk County Council.A statement was sent to o cers of the Norfolk Parking Partnership JointCommittee setting out NNDC’s concerns.Cllr John Rest, North Norfolk District Council Cabinet Member forassets said: “This is a great result. It’s been a huge worry to the people inour district and Norfolk Parking Partnership has made the right decision.“As Cabinet member I invited ward members in to talk through thecounty’s proposals; at that meeting councillors were keen for all optionsto be explored to see if the costs of parking enforcement could bereduced or if parking could be enforced more locally.“Our belief is that more time needs to be spent looking into the issuein far more detail and that if this approach had been adopted in therst place it would have given a full understanding of the options andopportunities.”At the meeting councillors agreed to ask whether the Norfolk ParkingPartnership Joint Committee had fully explored all the options for

reducing the costs of parking enforcement before looking to raiseadditional funds from putting in parking meters.Councillor Mick Castle from Norfolk County Council said in aninterview with North Norfolk Radio: “The plan has been scrapped andwill not be forced on Cromer and Sheringham.”The councillors present at the meeting were Cllr John Rest( CabinetMember for Assets), Cllr Judy Oliver (Cabinet Member for LegalServices and Ward Member for Sheringham South) Cllr Nigel Pearce(Ward Member Su eld Park, Cromer) Cllr Richard Shepherd (WardMember Sheringham South) and Cllr John Lee (Ward Member Su eldPark, Cromer)Cllr Judy Oliver, Cabinet Member for Legal Services and Ward Memberfor Sheringham South added: “Any changes to the present car parkingenforcement scheme must be carefully considered, evidence-based andrational. A scheme that does not meet those criteria would be vulnerableto challenge by way of judicial review. We are keen to establish a way

forward that is reasonable, fair and eective and we will consider alloptions to achieve that result.”Cllr Nigel Pearce, Ward Member for Su eld Park, Cromer, added: “I’mreally pleased with the decision to drop the proposed on-street parking

plans. If it had gone through it would have taken money out of the areawithout bringing any benet to our two seaside towns.”

Hi All,One local councillor has assured me she will be writinga report to justify voting for the rise in allowance, theother does not think they need to justify their stance,disappointing as I alway thoughts councillors werethere to communicateHere in Trimingham we are surrounded by Quiet Laneswhich one could presume are for slow moving tra c, cyclists, walkersand generally a slower pace of life WRONGThese are general country roads which some one in their wisdomdecreed as Quiet Lanes to encourage cyclists walkers etc but no speedlimit changes here the tra c roars along at up to 60mph quite legally!There was a mass pile up (or that is how the tabloids would describe theincident) on Gimingham Road Trimingham Friday morning, for legalspeed on a single track road slippery with mud and leaves leaves nospace to avoid the other driver!Highways when are these roads going to have their speed limits reducedor is it a case of waiting for tragic results of one of the many accidentson these Quiet Lanes then a reduction will be consideredTrimingham celebrated St Patrick's early and in style on Saturdayevening see page ..... and raised funds towards their new Village HallTRIMINGHAM YARDS SALE SUN APRIL3rd from 9am more details

Liz.... the Ed.

Dear Editor I write to express my repugnance at thedecisions reached by the Conservative Groupsupported by 5 Liberal Democrat members ofthe district council.It is unbelievable that they could increasetheir allowances by about £1,000 each at thistime of austerity. They are presuming, nodoubt, that by the date of the next election theelectorate will have forgotten and they are

probably right. It seems to me that the onlyway to get a change at the next election is tovote Labour, Independent or Green and give

this bunch of money grabbers a wakeup call.The councillors claim that they work 22 hoursa week on council business. Some do but thevast majority do not. I notice that 8 of themwere absent from this important meeting andcouldn’t be bothered to turn up [That amountsto 17% of the councillors!!].Then, they are increasing car parking chargesin the coastal resorts. That is madness andonly increases the pressure on those in thetourism industry. It is sheer hypocrisy ofTom Fitzpatrick to claim that they havenot increased council tax. They have, in aduplicitous way, and the victims will be thosewho have to use their cars in this rural area.

In February 2014, I pointed out that the Districtwas raising £2.2 million pounds a year fromcar parking which I believe amounts to about30% 0f the Council’s income. I pointed outthat the government have said, specically,that councils should not regard car parking feesas “cash cows”. Of course, councillors have

permits for use on “council business”!What I nd particularly galling is that overChristmas North Norfolk District Councilwere advertising in the local press for a“press o cer” to join the team at a startingsalary of £23,000 which, with add-ons will

probably amount to about £28,000. At leastTom Fitzpatrick and his cronies will get the

benet of propaganda at the cost to the counciltax payers. There are also no less than threeDirectors, each costing over £80,000 a year.It seems to me that some people haveno shame. Congratulations to Lib DemCouncillors Virginia Gay, Nigel Lloyd, PeterMoore, Eric Seward, Andrew Wells andAndreas Yiasimi for having the foresight anddecency to vote “NO”Yours trulyGraham Jones.

Dear Editor,I would be grateful to have your advice as to how to explain the above

picture and caption to an inquisitive 9 year old.Yours,John Harris-Hall

Reply by the Editor.

I am sorry to have caused you difficulty butoffer the following advice as requested.1. You could tell your 9 year old that this is a grown up joke and they are too young to have it explained.2. You could say that Monica is a lady that the

lady in the picture hates so she is beingironic. Good luck explaining ironic.

3. I think the best reply would be to say that the meaning of the name Monica is unknown, most likely of NorthAfrican or Phoenician origin. In the 4th century this name was borne bythe North African saint Monica of Hippo, the mother of Saint Augustine,whom she converted to Christianity. Since the Middle Ages it has beenassociated with Latin moneo “advisor”.Thus the lady may be saying that the man is an unmitigated buffoonand that calling the dog Monica and treating her as an advisor as per themeaning could only be good.

Please let us know how you get on.

AFRICA ! WHAT’STHAT ALL ABOUT ?

All of the children at Sueld Park InfantSchool have been nding out about Africa.In the three Reception Classes they have

been learning about the animals they mightencounter there. They created animal masks,made African ags and discussed the climateand geography of the African continent.They had a visit from a local dance teacher

who helped them make African rhythms anddances, as well as listening to African folk talesfrom a story teller.“I know that Africa has the biggest desert inthe world and the largest animal, the elephant”said one Reception child.Year One children have enjoyed a sensoryweek of learning while nding out about thecontinent of Africa. They have enjoyed tastingAfrican fruits: mango was a rm favourite;avocado got a less favoured response! Africandrumming was an exciting opportunity toexplore rhythm. Messy play opportunitiesincluded fun with the muddy hippos, diggingfor diamonds in sand and soil and creatingAfrican animals from clay. The children

delighted in a varied and creative week.The Year Two children narrowed downtheir area of focus to look at the country ofSouth Africa. They have been comparingSouth Africa to England and thinking aboutthe similarities and dierences between thetwo. The children have created a number oflovely pieces of artwork including clay masks,drawings of Protea owers, paintings of SouthAfrican landscapes and making animals usingModel Magic.It was a thoroughly enjoyable week and thechildren have learnt a lot about the continent ofAfrica and many of the countries within Africa.It has denitely been a valuable learningexperience which supports many areas of the

National Curriculum.

PILGRIM SHELTER.

Dear Editor,Sheringham continues to deserve its title of being a Fairtrade Town. On Friday 11th March manylocal people, and even some from the wilds of Weybourne, West Runton, Cromer and Overstrandsupported the Big Fairtrade Breakfast and Coee Morning!The slogan was “SIT DOWN FOR BREAKFAST, STAND UP FOR FARMERS”, and we enjoyedFairtrade food from many parts of the world in our tea, coee, muesli, sugar and marmalade. BeckFarm supplied us with tasty brown eggs at a very reasonable price, and we were able to ensurethat local farmers are getting a fair price for the milk by buying it at Morrisons.The Fairtrtade Group not only prepared and supplied the food but made cakes too, with deliciousones also from Tracey, Susie and Glenda.

And besides a very enjoyable morning we were able to send a cheque for £205.25 to TraidcraftExchange, the Fairtrade Charity which helps desperately poor people existing on less than onemeal a day. Many in Bangladesh have been given tea plants, and are enjoying a regular incomefrom the tea leaves. It would be good to know we can buy Fairtrade tea grown by them.Thank you very much for your help in advertising our event,Brenda Smith. (Fairtrade for Sheringham Group)

Mundesley Mumblingsby T Webster

Spring Fever has hit the household. After a lovely Mother’s Daydespite the horrid weather, we managed to grab an hour on the beachin the afternoon which more than made up for the running around wedid before to make sure the Mums got cards and owers and knewthat they really were very much appreciated. Every year I swear I will

be more organised, maybe, just once! But in comes the sunshine andsnow and then we really do know its springtime. Husband and I joined

the throngs in the DIY shop as we shopped for seeds and tiles – yes ofcourse they go together! However, its more about that real feeling ofthe new year springing into action and everything needing sprucingup again. Though the ice and snow however brief were not welcomeMonday morning that glorious sunshine was just a tonic for my pastywinter face I swear I got a tan or was it just the east wind that froze myface bright red – it’s all about context lol.It’s time for a rant though now. I feel like we really do have to dosomething to band together to stop the lazy behaviour of some people.I am sure you know what I mean, yes, dog owners. I am a dog owner.I have a large dog and I take responsibility for what I feed her and forwhat comes out the other end. Twice last week I confronted people whohad their dogs with them, allowed them to do their mess and then wentto walk away. I know that every coat and jacket I have has a handfulof nappy sacks in them, and so I was able to give one and then wait forthem to clear it up. I have never lived anywhere that is so dog friendly,

or so well prepared with bins everywhere. As a parish we are brilliantat providing these services, but I am truly totally fed up of walking allround the streets of the village and having to doge the dog mess. In thisday and age it is unacceptable, and we cannot blame the tourists, no,itsus locals, and we need to help make this as unacceptable as smoking in

pubs. This is a heartfelt plea to take ownership of all aspects of owningyour dog. Especially if it’s o lead. You do need to watch out and seewhat they are doing and you are responsible it’s not good enough tonot notice. Please, I think we all love our village, lets keep it clean and

pleasant and not jeopardise the privileges we enjoy of being able to takeour dogs everywhere. If you see someone not picking up, then pleasehelp and speak out. Together we can make a dierence.Well its o to hunt out the Easter decorations and getting the eggs readyto decorate. Blessed with a child that does not much like chocolate (yesreally, but it’s OK I do so I help him out !) EB (aka the Easter Bunny)likes to have a signal in the window to leave a small gift. This year

apparently we need to ask for an alarm clock, one with the big bells onit. So here’s looking forward to a lovely run up to the Easter weekendand hearing the clangs of an alarm clock each morning. I wonder if my

prodigal will notice if I set the time to an hour later……….

Good news for MAYA the chow chow. She has just had her opthalmic surgery and is recovering in the Animal Hospital . She will be having eye ointment administered for life now to

protect her corneas and help keep the pigmentation of her corneas to lessen in colour. This coloration as it diminishes will let light through to herretina so she can then see shapes and images. Her supporters have been wonderful so we will keep everyone updated with her restoration of sight

news.Maya also has a friend SKYE, one of the next 3 chows due in to The Old Chow Rescue Home this year. SKYE is a 9 yr old male chow who was

dumped partially blind by a railway line for nearly 2 weeks. He was found with eye infections, ear infections, septic sores, underweight from beingstarved and his fur matted from lth and living in squalid conditions for a very long time. We have so far managed to get his fur shaved o whichmeans he’s cold and trembles with the low weather temperatures. He needs warm jumpers and thermal dog coats to keep him warm which Fenellahas sent to his foster carer for him so far. He urgently needs X-rays as he was given bodged surgery previously in the last couple of years, which

has left him suering and having to urinate from his bottom. He also needs blood tests and further surgery. He requires specialised food andvitamins as he’s underweight .This poorly chow so needs our help to get him t enough to travel to join Maya at the safe haven of Fenellaschow

Chow Rescue at The Old Chow Rescue Home in East Runton.On sunday 14th February Fenella and some of her team collected donations from very kind members of the public outside Morrisons to help SKYE,raising £101.18p. More will be needed to save this chows life. Any donations, please leave at Nat west, Cromer made out to FenellasChow Rescue.

Vital service launched forelderly in North Norfolk

People with dependent elderly relatives in North Norfolk are beingoered an entirely new form of daily check-up service through one of

Norfolk’s leading home care providers.The award-winning Extra Hands is the rst in the county to oer a

regular ‘well-being check service’, made on as many days of the week as people require.

Hazel Evans, Director, said the service being oered by the company,which has an oce in Horsham St. Faith, near Norwich, would provide

a new dimension to care of the elderly and other members of thecommunity who may need support.“Extra Hands’ reputation as a care provider is built on reliability,

trustworthiness and quality, and I believe our new visiting scheme willreinforce all of those aspects for both the people we care for and theirfriends and families,” she said. “We aim to share responsibility and

deliver peace of mind for everyone associated with the service.”The service has been designed specically to help and support familymembers or neighbours who currently full a caring function, but who

may need to take a break for any period of time, or whose daily routinesmake regular visits inconvenient.

From the point of view of the people being visited, Mrs Evans said thatknowing a regular, dependable professionally-trained Extra Hands stamember is coming to see them would provide reassurance and comfort.In addition to the monitoring function, there is also the benet of regularsocial interaction, which can so easily drop o for the elderly or isolated,

and those who live alone.What is dierent about Extra Hands’ new service, continued Mrs Evans,

is the way it provides a degree of reassurance and security that otherscannot equal.

“Our service guarantees not only to ensure that people are checked, but also that they are looked after, and provided with regular social

interaction, which can make a huge dierence to their lives,” sheexplained. “The nominated person would be contacted straight away

about any changes to the condition of their friend or relative, andelectronic monitoring ensures no call will be missed.

“We are proud to be oering this innovative extension to our currentservices as we truly believe it will have a positive impact helping to

alleviate the pressures faced by our healthcare service.“Our thinking at Extra Hands is ‘prevention is better than cure’. This

visiting system aims to minimise the potential for problems arising, andto allow everyone associated involved in the caring relationship to be

secure in the knowledge someone is keeping an eye and raising concerns

so nothing is being left to chance.”Discover more about this service and Extra Hands at www.extrahands.

North Norfolk DistrictCouncil wins court caseafter Tree Preservation

Order is breached.Kings Lynn magistrates’ court this week(Wednesday March 9) ned a company and itsdirector £25,000 for felling two trees.The 40ft-tall lime trees on a developmentsite in Fakenham were protected by a Tree

Preservation Order. The felling of the trees byBobyk Developments Limited and Jody Bobyktook place after Mr Bobyk was told by North

Norfolk District Council that they would not be given permission to cut the trees down for better construction access to his building site.Cabinet member for Planning and PlanningPolicy Cllr Sue Arnold: “This is an excellentresult. This ruling sends a message to alldevelopers that they cannot ignore conditionsof planning permission and Tree PreservationOrders.

The Tree Preservation Orderwas served when the Council became awarethat planning permission was sought for theerection of three houses in the rear gardenof a property on Hayes Lane.

Dr Crippen’s GhostWritten by Miranda Marshall – Director at

Hayes + Storr

The Common Law rule of forfeiture arises from public policy and prevents a person who hasunlawfully killed another from proting from their death. It is intended to act as a disincentiveto criminal activity and to reect 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 intestatemurdered wife to one of her next-of-kin, thereby by-passing Dr Crippen who had been foundguilty of his wife’s murder, and sentenced to death. The forfeiture rule is not conned to murderand has been applied to cases of manslaughter and suicide pacts

In the recent case of Henderson v Wilcox, a son Ian, who suered 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 wasfound guilty of manslaughter, rather than murder, as the criminal court accepted that he had notintended 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 intotwo ‘family protection trusts’; one for Ian and one for his mother. The mother’s trust had herself,

Ian and a nephew as beneciaries. 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 interestunder the Trust did not come into being as a result of his mother’s death (or as result of thecriminal act which lead to his mother’s death). Anything that Ian received under his mother’s trustwould be as a result of the Trustees’ decision to benet him, rather than because of her death.

It was held that no modication to the forfeiture rule would apply to the estate of Ian’s mother.This meant that Ian was not to benet from it. In making this decision, Cooke J looked at the casein the round and took all factors into account. He found Ian’s culpability high, although lessened

by his low I.Q. and other di culties. Ian had been held t to plead in the criminal case and did nothave diminished responsibility. And so, justice did not require modication of the forfeiture rule.

COULD ‘SANDSCAPING’ PROTECTNORTH NORFOLK COAST.

Work to look atimproving the coastaldefences to BactonGas Terminal andneighbouring villages iscontinuing.One option which is

being considered is to

‘sandscape’ the beachwith high volumes ofadditional sand, in orderto help protect the coast from extreme weather.It is thought this approach, trialled by the Dutch successfully, would bethe most eective and it could be achieved either by putting sand on the

beach periodically, or in one go.Cllr Angie Fitch-Tillett, Deputy Leader of North Norfolk DistrictCouncil said: “We are working with the Terminal operators to see whatwe can do together. This option has the potential to help buy time forour villages, potentially extending the life of the existing defences by 20years giving people time to plan and adapt to the changing coastline.”

Norman Lamb MP said: “Work on this scheme is of the utmostimportance. It is clearly critical that Bacton Gas Terminal, a strategicallyimportant site, is protected against further coastal erosion. However, it isalso essential that when works are carried out to protect the gas terminal,

every opportunity is explored to seek to improve the coastal managementsituation for the adjacent villages of Bacton and Walcott.” North Norfolk District Council, the operators of Bacton Gas Terminaland the Environment Agency are investigating this option and how itcould be funded. Discussion is also underway with The Crown Estatewhich manages oshore sand resources.Government funding is not available for the defence of the BactonGas Terminal so the operators are looking at how they can fund the

protection of the nationally important asset themselves.A scheme to enhance the protection of the villages is potentially eligiblefor government funding; however, there remains an estimated shortfall infunds which could be signicantly reduced if sand could be taken from a

site oshore from Bacton.Further work is now underway to investigateany environmental impact of such a newlicensed extraction area, before a view can

be taken about whether that option could beconsidered further.It is understood that if funds cannot be foundfor the wider public scheme then Bacton GasTerminal operators would have to press aheadwith the scheme for the Terminal only.

QUESTION ? HOW MANY CANALS ARE THEREIN NORFOLK ? ANSWER : ONE !

FANCY HELPING TO RESCUE IT ?NORTH WALSHAM & DILHAM CANAL TRUST FILM EVENING 25/2/16

Attendance at this event showed a great interest as over 100 people led into the hall in NorthWalsham. Some were members of the Trust whilst others were just so very much interested inthe Trust’s project to re-open the only canal in Norfolk, when realising the very many benetsthat 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 speediermethod of transporting goods between provider and customer, be it coal or corn. Once the use ofthe 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 presentedmany other problems such as minor ooding. The rst lm of the evening showed ‘the Battle ofBacton’ (Bacton Wood Lock area) where the ow of the canal had been so restricted by silt andencroaching trees that one could barely see the canal at all. Once silt appears, it does not take toolong for vegetation to grow on it and this multiplies to such an extent that trees appear, causingmajor stoppages and hence up-stream ooding. One part of this lm showed a very interestingduet featuring a JCB and ‘Weasel’, a dredger vessel de-silting the pound. Photo shots showed theend result of the cleared part of canal with a pontoon easing its way very gingerly through SpaCommon Bridge for use further upstream. Following a break, when refreshments were availableand a rae being drawn, the lms continued with the clearance of the winding area at SwaeldBridge. A ‘winding’ area is where vessels are able to turn around and therefore has to be at least,in this case, at least 55 feet across to accommodate the canal wherrys. This area had become sosilted up due to lack of maintenance that trees had grown to a height of some 90 feet in the silt inthe canal. Interesting lming 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 WildlifeOcer of the Trust, Perry Hampson, of some of his ndings (remarkable!) on the small screen.To the casual observer – a lot has changed on the parts of the canal where we have worked, birds,sh, plants etc. But to the dedicated observer it has been a remarkable change to so many livingcreatures, both aquatic and airborne. You will see more of his work at future events, the rst one

being Open Weekend at Ebridge Lock on Sat/Sun 18/19 June 2016. New maps, which showwhere the canal lies and where there is access to it, were also available. Several new memberswere enlisted and ve more volunteered to be part of the Work Party Team in the ‘Green Gym’.If you would like further information on volunteering, please contact David Revill, Work Party

Organiser on [email protected] Our thanks go to all who attended and to John Parker of ‘BigSky Productions’ for his lming, presentation and dedication to our cause. See also www.nwdct.org for more info on the Trust.

60 years after YulBrynne andDeborah Kerr… the King and I comes

to Aylsham. No expense spared tocreate stunning sets

One of the most dazzling sets they’ve ever built will be unveiled whenAylsham High School launch their production of “The King and I” in twoweeks time.Volunteers have spent hundreds of hours building scenes from Siam, to

bring the famous Rodgers and Hammerstein musical to life.It’s 60 years this year since the blockbuster lm starring YulBrynner andDeborah Kerr hit the silver screen in 1956 – and they would be proud tosee the scale of the show at Aylsham.

No detail has been spared recreating giant Buddhas, ornate far easternfurniture, 20’-high bookshelves and huge maps of the world that schoolgoverness Anna uses to educate the King’s children. But perhaps the mostincredible work of art is a huge ‘at’ with the front of Anna’s sailing boaton it. Placed on stage it makes the audience feel they’re sailing into Siamas the show gets underway.Producer Tanya Wiseman said: “This is my rst year of managingthe design and building of the set which has been a huge undertakingalongside teaching full time as well.”The talented props and scenery team are Lee Wiseman, Diddy Wright,Mark Sayer and Danny SaundersThe King and I opens at Aylsham High School on Wednesday March16th and runs until Saturday March 19th with a matinée and evening

performance on the Saturday.Tickets are already selling fast available from www.ticketsource.co.uk.Head of Drama, Hazel Martin, said: “You’ll be transported to Siam withAnna to the sound of Siamese oarsmen and at that point you will be sweptalong with the show.“We are so excited, so many people on stage and o have created a showthat I know is probably our most ambitious yet.”But of course, it’s not just a visual spectacle… 61 schoolchildren will

be recreating the magic on stage, dressed in beautiful dresses which are

based on the original stage show which are now owned by Derehamcostume company. A team of make up artists led by a professional willspray tan the children and dress their hair to look like the perfect Royalfamily that everyone remembers from the Broadway stage and theHollywood screen.The King is played by 16 year old Callum Adkins from Aylsham. A tallorder to follow in the footsteps of YulBrynner.“I’ve watched the lm of course,” said Callum. “It’s such an iconiccharacter so I was a bit apprehensive to play the part but very excited.”Anna is played by Emily Sidnell, who is 15 and from Marsham. “In the5 years I have been at Aylsham High School I have had a part in all theshows and this is by far the best. The whole atmosphere is amazing – youactually feel you’re in ‘Siam’.”Children from local primary schools Bure Valley and Aldborough aretaking part, playing some of the Royal family.
