I have just returned to SR after a few months and to my horror I discovered that their is a proposal to split up our Parish. This is worse than Brexit. I do not want our Parish broken up and I hope that this proposal can be stopped.

I think the parking for the Pub along Bunwell Road is dangerous.. 2 near misses I have seen today. Perhaps alternative parking could be looked at?

It really isn't difficult to carry a couple of polythene bags and clean up after your dog rather than leave it for the householder to have to remove before they can mow their verge or worse, not see it an...

I sat in my lounge, no tv, no radio, nothing, all I could hear was the wind blowing and bird noises, no train horns, no vibration of HGVs, no fast cars, it was tranquility. I woke up today with all the noise back again, did I dream it all ? I want snow all year round.

I am very sad to hear that our Village and the other settlements within the whole Parish of Wymondham are to be split up.
