    Railway Level Crossing Works

    Subject: Norwich, Yarmouth & Lowestoft Re-signalling Railway Works – Lingwood Station and Chapel Road

    Importance: High

    Dear Stakeholder,

    I am writing to advise that Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd plans to undertake significant engineering works on the Norwich-Yarmouth-Lowestoft lines between October 2017 and March 2019.

    We will replace mechanical Victorian signalling with modern technology incorporating colour light LED signals, power operated points and a remote computer based signalling control system replacing levers and physical operation.

    These works also include rationalised and remodelled track layouts at several locations. Crossing keeper operated level crossing gates will be replaced with a modern barrier type remotely controlled by the Signaller using CCTV at:  

            Lingwood Station Road·         Lingwood Chapel Road

    And at the following crossings:

    Brundall, Cantley , Strumpshaw, Oulton Broad North, Victoria Road (Victoria Road is already a MCB-CCTV where there will be some amendments to the assets on the ground in addition to the re-control)

    The works are required to improve safety and replace life expired equipment and form part of the Norwich Yarmouth Lowestoft Re-Signalling project, exact commissioning dates for each crossing are being developed however, the proposed commissioning date for all works is 31st March 2019.

    For your information the first stages of work will begin in October 2017 at  Lingwood Station Road. I have attached a notification and scheme leaflet sent to residents advising of these works including our catchment area. These areas have been identified as likely to be impacted by the above works.

    Please note that the same information will be sent to residents at Chapel road once the programme becomes available for 2018.

    If you consider that a site visit to the crossings to discuss the proposed works would be of assistance before replying, please let me know and I will make the necessary arrangements.

    Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Kind regards, Mary Afonja

    Information about the local Community First Responder teams 

    The work of Community First Responders is important and valued by local people and the Ambulance Service, but more volunteers are needed.  If you would like any further information about the work of this voluntary service, please contact Christine Wheeler, the local co-ordinator on 01603 713583 after 16th October, or me.  Thank you.

     Community First Responders in Blofield, Brundall, Lingwood and Strumpshaw

     With health services coming under mounting pressure, the work of the local Community First Responders is going to become increasingly important – and more volunteers would be warmly welcomed, especially in the Lingwood area.  Full training is offered by the Ambulance Service and all equipment is provided – we now just need YOU!

     This table gives an indication of the work local volunteers have offered this year:

     Average number of First Responders in the Blofield / Brundall/Lingwood/Strumpshaw area

    Number of hours offered between January and September 2017

    Number of visits made to patients at the request of the Ambulance Service

    10

    2,394 hours

    119 visits

     Although not all attendances are for life-threatening conditions, patients and families have said how reassuring it is to have someone local arrive promptly. First Responders take information that is of help to the Ambulance Service, collect the patient’s medication record and can offer some practical treatment.  This is a very worthwhile service to the people in our local community.  If you would like to learn more, please contact the local co-ordinator on (01603) 713 583.
