• Recycling Centre

    27 July 2018

     

    **PUBLIC INFORMATION** Alternative recycling centres may be busy over the coming days as work continues to reopen Mile Cross

     

    Mile Cross recycling centre is expected to remain closed for the next few days while repairs are made to the roof and the site clean-up continues following a fire on Wednesday night

    The closest recycling centres are at Ketteringham which is just to the south of Norwich off the A11, at Strumpshaw to the west of the city, or Mayton Wood near Coltishall to the north of the city Over the summer all three are open 9am-5pm, seven days a week

    It is likely that the nearest alternative recycling centres will be busier than usual over the coming days so if anyone is able to delay their visit until next week this may be a good way to avoid any possible queues

    And to speed things up when at the recycling centre people are reminded that it can help to sort their recycling before their visit by putting things like cardboard, garden waste and small electricals into separate, easily manageable bags As always staff will be on hand to help people find the right place to put their waste

    To find your nearest recycling centre visit: wwwnorfolkgovuk/recycling

    Don’t forget people can take all their household waste for FREE to any of Norfolk’s network of 20 recycling centres It’s free to take things like sofas, white goods such as freezers, fridges and washing machines, all free-standing furniture including tables, chairs and wardrobes, plus carpet and underlay More information here: wwwnorfolkgovuk/recycling

     

  • Norwich Western Link public consultation

    Norwich Western Link public consultation

    I am writing to let you know that next Tuesday (8 May) Norfolk County Council is launching a public consultation on whether there is a need to tackle transport issues to the west of Norwich.

    When we announced plans to build the Norwich Northern Distributor Road (now ‘Broadland Northway’) north and east of the city, a lot of people said they were concerned about congestion, rat-running and other issues to the west of the city. Many wanted us to fill in what they saw as a ‘missing link’ between the Fakenham Road (A1067) and the A47.

    And since plans to build the NDR were confirmed in 2015, some major changes to the area west of Norwich have been announced. Highways England intend to dual the A47 between North Tuddenham and Easton by 2022 and a food-related enterprise zone, known as the Easton Food Hub, is due to be established just south of the A47 at Easton.

    At this stage, we want to know people’s views and experiences of any transport issues that exist to the west of the city and what, if anything, they believe needs to be done to improve travel in this area.

    The public consultation will run from Tuesday, 8 May to Tuesday, 3 July and people can respond online at www.norfolk.gov.uk/nwl or in person at one of nine consultation events being held throughout May and June. You can find details of these events at www.norfolk.gov.uk/nwl.

    Once the consultation closes, we’ll analyse the responses over the summer and let people know the results later this year and what, if anything, we propose to do to tackle any of the transport issues identified.

    If you have any questions now or throughout the consultation, please get in touch via [email protected].

    As part of our preparation plans, UK Power Networks has organised for additional staff in our contact centre to help customers whose electricity supply might be affected by the predicted weather, and we have called up additional engineers to carry out repairs to overhead lines and poles as soon as the wind reduces to a speed at which it is safe to work.

    We would be very grateful if you could share the information below with your local residents and constituents, so that they are aware of who to contact in the event their electricity is interrupted by the weather.

    Anyone experiencing a power cut should:

    We advise people to stay clear of power lines and report damaged power lines immediately by calling 105 free from either a landline or a mobile phone. If they see electricity lines that are down or causing significant risk to the public they should call 999.

    We provide extra help to customers on our Priority Service Register during a power cut.  Households with older or disabled people, those with children under five, or where someone uses medical or mobility equipment that requires electricity as well as other reasons can join the register.  You can find out more information about our Priority Service on our website: ukpowernetworks.co.uk/priority.
