Spooner Row Message Board

Thanks for this. Where is the location of the soil heap?

There are details available of this in the NCC Cabinet Agenda dated 31st Jan 2022, pages 735 to 737. There is a small map on page 736 that shows the proposed site located between Holbrook Business Park and Little Dial Farm, London Road. Here's the link to the Agenda:

(Agenda info provided by District Councillor, Julian Halls)

The details only include access from the A11. What undertaking will be made to evaluate the impact of increased traffic through the village, Station Road and Bunwell Road?

Thank you Daz. I take your point entirely about being closer to Suton than Spooner row but I fear that is just beligerence on behalf of county. The site has been chosen apparently to serve Attleborough as well as surrounds and as I sure you are aware  County can give themselves planning permission which is why I involved our county councillor.

With regard to your point on the community council knowing I would be foolish NOT to acknowlege that there have been rumours running for at least two years (+) now , but nothing official until last monday and they will say, of course it is only a draft.

I have however asked that the matter be brought before the community council for the next meeting for discussion in March although to date we have heard absolutely nothing at DISTRICT, as this is a matter which falls outside their remit. It also technically, not a matter which we , as a community council can have any meaningful direct impact upon , other than as a individual would.  It is a quirk that District collects the rubbish but the waste authority is always the County.  

This sounds like a raft of excuses but it is not. It is sadly the operational messy framework in which we operate under current governance rules.   

Dear all I have been rightly criticised for not being clear in my previous posts

The 'rumours 'were as a consquence of an un-minuted discussion made by the then county councillor Joe mooney,  at Wymondham Town Council, at WTC  so several years ago talking about looking for a site between Attleborough and Wymondham

The Community council have never been party to these 'rumours' and I apologise if I gave the impression that we were fully up to speed on this . We have never been consulted at any point and no even up to now

Thank you Mr Halls for updating us even if insufficient information has been released at the moment. Please continue as we need to be informed of when progress has been made.

Daz thank you for the update. I"ve heard from someone close to the site that it is unlikely to be big enough for a recycling centre. 

How about the Authorities keeping the public informed on 'proposed' developments that will have a local impact? To what extent will this 'proposed' recycling centre increase the traffic flow through the villages?
