  • Police non-emergency number

    Norfolk Constabulary has introduced a new telephone number for people who want to talk to the police about non-urgent issues.  Instead of ringing the current switchboard number of 0845 456 4567, people should dial 101.

    The introduction of 101 in Norfolk is part of a nationwide initiative which saw all forces adopting the number by the end of 2011.  It is designed to offer one easy way to contact your local police force to report non-emergency crimes, disorder or anti-social behaviour or to speak to your local police officers.

  • Online information for bereaved families

    A new web-site was launched in August 2011 to help any-one who has to organise a funeral.

    “Funeralmap.co.uk” makes it possible to check the details of all cemetries, crematoria, and natural burial grounds nation wide. It also lists Funeral Directors, bereavement support organisations, register offices, memorial masons, florists and more across the UK.

    Free leaflets and cards about the site are available, call 0845 004 8608 or e-mail [email protected]. Or go to the site www.funeralmap.co.uk.

  • One-stop service “Tell us once”.

    A new Government scheme will help bereaved individuals inform local and national authorities by making just one phone call. The “Tell us once” service is activated when a death is registered. The person registering the death is given a single phone number to report the death. The scheme then informs the Passport Service, Driver and Vehicle Licence Agency, Department for Work and Pensions, the War Pensions Scheme, council tax authorities, HMRC, electoral roll, Libraries, and council departments that deal with disabled parking permits, home care, or council housing. Key documents will still need to be returned. For further information see direct.gov.uk and search for Tell us once.
