County Broadband – Fibre broadband to the Home in Claxton
As some of you may already know, a representative of County Broadband has been approaching parishioners regarding installing fibre broadband direct to homes in the village.
Simon Biddulph is looking after Claxton. He can be contacted on 07946 169577 or at [email protected], where he will be able to answer any of your queries or questions. He will be able to go through the offers available and see whether they meet individuals’ needs.
County Broadband require 20% of the village (roughly 20 households) to sign up in order for them to provide this service to the whole village. As part of this deal they will install fibre broadband direct to the Village Hall at no additional cost.
District Councillor Vic Thomson confirmed this will be the quickest way for Claxton to get fibre broadband to the home, as there are no other companies coming to the village anytime in the near future.
The Parish Council will have an agenda item on this at September’s meeting being held on Tuesday 19th.

BikeActive, Getting out and about on Bikes
BikeActive, Norfolk is a small unincorporated group which is moving to charitable status. Their aim is to get anyone with any disability out cycling within the realms of the group, using specialist cycling equipment and on fully risk assessed roads.
They founded as a group eighteen months ago and currently have thirteen volunteers and eight regular clients.
Please look at the comprehensive website BikeActiveNorfolk.org to see what they do.
They hope to publicise the group throughout South Norfolk to get further clients involved and more volunteers to help expand the group. To this end they are asking Parish Councils in South Norfolk if you would be willing to display one of our A3 or A5 notices on notice boards in your town or village.
Examples can be found on the Norfolk ALC website www.norfolkalc.gov.uk.If you have any questions please contact Jez Briggs on 07716103072 or [email protected]

Traffic in the village – June 2023 update
The shared SAM2 speed monitor has just completed another month when it should have been in Langley with Hardley, but they have still not been able to identify a volunteer to manage the device there. Until they do, the monitor will remain in Claxton, and of course it will be deployed here from July to September as part of its routine schedule. It is quite possible we will have it for the whole of 2023. Any news on this issue will appear on these pages. (more…)

The parishes are now consulting on their Pre-Submission Draft of the neighbourhood plan for Loddon and Chedgrave. This consultation is in line with Regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations (2012) and will run for a period of 8 weeks from 5 June 2023 to 30 July 2023.
The consultation offers a final opportunity for you to influence the Neighbourhood Plan before it is submitted to the South Norfolk District Council and the Broads Authority.
All comments received by 30 July 2023 will be considered by the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group and may be used to amend this draft. A Consultation Statement, including a summary of all comments received and how these were considered, will be made available alongside the amended Neighbourhood Plan at a future date.
The Pre-Submission Plan and supporting evidence can all be found online: www.chetnp.info

Sunday services (June 18th and 25th) and forthcoming events
Dear All,I hope that you are enjoying the weather and, if you’re a cricket fan, the start of the Ashes!This Sunday’s services (18th) are 9.30am Morning Worship at Claxton and 11am Communion at Kirby Bedon.Next Sunday (June 25th) sees communion services at 9.30am Surlingham and 11am Bramerton. Cafe Church meets in Rockland Parish Room on the theme ‘The Cost of Living’. Please drop in anytime between 10.30am and 12 Noon. At 4pm ‘Still with the Sun’ in the Barn we reflect on the sun’s power and symbolism through words, music, stillness and refreshment.Looking ahead, Warm Welcome at the Barn is happening on June 26th, 11am to 2.30pm. All welcome for refreshments, lunches and good company!Celtic Prayer meets in Surlingham Church porch at 10am on June 27th for quiet prayer and reflection in a peaceful setting.June’s Art Café in the Barn is open from 10.30am – 12 Noon on Wednesday 28th. Come along for fresh coffee cake, and the chance to experience some nature art!Sadly for us, Revd Cate Turner has been appointed to a new ministry (to be announced later). She will be greatly missed for all she has contributed during her three year curacy in Thurton benefice and valuable contributions she has made to our benefice. July 30th will be her final Sunday, so it feels appropriate that we should say farewell to Cate and Iain in their benefice, at an 11am communion service in Bergh Apton, followed by a bring and share lunch in the churchyard (or village hall if wet). This replaces the Hellington service advertised in Eleven Says.Finally, may I offer a big ‘Thank You’ to everyone who supported Christian Aid Week so generously. £185.66 (including gift aid) was raised at May’s Warm Welcome and through donation envelopes received from the benefice.Best wishes,Nick
