    Strumpshaw Recycling Centre

    I am writing to let you know that we will be reopening Strumpshaw Recycling Centre on Thursday 28 May

    We have been in the process of reopening our Recycling Centres since the 11 May.  This was following the Government’s updated guidance which advised that local authorities should seek to retain access to HWRC services for their residents to dispose of waste. All twenty of Norfolk’s recycling centres have been closed since 25 March 2020 when the Government restricted travel outside the home to limited essential purposes.

    We currently have nine sites reopened; Dereham, Thetford, Caister, Ketteringham, Mile Cross, King’s Lynn, Sheringham, Mayton Wood and Hempton Recycling Centres. And this week we plan to open Strumpshaw, Ashill and Heacham Recycling Centres.

    To manage demand and help ensure safe operations the centres will offer a restricted service and:

    • Require social distancing of two metres by all customers.
    • Operate on a managed one in one out basis for cars.
    • Only allow two adults out of a car to unload their waste.
    • Assistance will not be offered to help empty cars.
    • Provide for the disposal and recycling of the main waste streams including green waste, general waste and charged for DIY type construction and demolition waste.

    We have included some frequently asked questions below but you will find all the latest information on the service here www.norfolk.gov.uk/recyclingupdates

  • Roadworks

    A47 between Trowse Newton and Blofield: resurfacing

    I am writing to inform you that Highways England will be carrying out essential drainage renewal works at the above location. During this work, we will also be replacing damaged safety barriers, signs, road markings and studs.

    We plan to complete this work over 8 weeks from Monday 8 June to Friday 31 July, working between the hours of 8pm to 6am, subject to weather conditions.

    Due to the extensive amount of work on this project, we have split the programme into three phases. We have closely liaised with county, district and parish councillors within the area, to agree the most suitable diversion routes for each phase as detailed below:

    Phase 1: A47 eastbound between Trowse Newton and Cucumber Lane roundabout, starting Monday 8 June to Friday 24 July (7 weeks)

    Eastbound traffic will be diverted off the A47 at Trowse Newton onto the A146. Then follow the A146 until Gillingham and the A143 to re-join the A47 at Beccles. We expect this diversion to add approximately 10 to 15 minutes to your journey. (Diagram 1)

    Phase 2: A47 eastbound Trowse Newton exit slip road, starting Monday 27 July to Friday 31 July (4 nights)

    Eastbound traffic wanting to leave the A47 at Trowse Newton will be diverted to Postwick roundabout and come back along the A47 westbound to Trowse Newton. We expect this diversion to add approximately 5 to 10 minutes to your journey. (Diagram 2)

    Phase 3: A47 eastbound Trowse Newton entry slip road, starting Thursday 30 July to Friday 31 July (1 night)

    Eastbound traffic wanting to join the A47 at Trowse Newton will be diverted along the A146 (Loddon road) to join the A47 westbound at the Harford roundabout back along the A47 eastbound. We expect this diversion to add approximately 5 to 10 minutes to your journey. (Diagram 3)

    Diagrams of the diversion routes are attached.
