The Community Governance Review undertaken in 2017/18 has been considered and determined by Full Council.
There will be no changes to the structure of Claxton Parish Council or any neighbouring Parish Councils. An original proposal to merge Ashby St Mary with Thurton was discarded following strong protests by both villages.
All the details may be viewed via this link, including the report to Full Council and the decisions made.
Do you use the part-time Recycling Centre at Bergh Apton? Would you like to see it remain open? Norfolk County Council are running a survey on our habits and needs and would like as much feedback as possible.
Help keep the centre open by visiting Recycling Survey.
The County Council have notified us of some timetable changes to the service 85, to reflect the addition of Claxton to the service, with effect from Monday 18 September. Service 85A is being withdrawn barring a feeder service to Loddon on college days.
The new Service 85 timetable and Claxton-specific information is set out below.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
The 85A connections through Loddon will cease. Instead the County is creating 3 full return services from Claxton to Norwich, running 6 days a week from Monday to Saturday. Details are as follows:

South Norfolk Council are currently seeing high levels of fly tipping and littering in South Norfolk. Both of these have a negative impact on the environment and human health. They have often found that fly tipping has occurred because residents have given their waste to unregistered waste carriers who have in turn fly tipped the waste, and hope to protect residents from this form of activity.

Ever found yourself wondering exactly what you can recycle? Watch a new video to find out what you can and can’t take to recycling centres, and the other services available while you are there.
Norfolk County Council has produced a short film to promote our recycling centre service. The principal message is to encourage residents to reuse and recycle as much of their household waste as possible, thereby helping the council to save money on waste disposal.
The film encourages people to sort their reuse and recycling items in advance of their visit, to place their items in the correct containers when they arrive on site and to ask for staff for assistance if required. Just click below.
Today the District Council launched its interactive 2016-20 South Norfolk Corporate Plan which sets out the direction of travel over the next five years and outlines their vision for South Norfolk, corporate priorities and key activities.
The plan is designed to be accessible to residents and partners and has been designed as an interactive, web-based document, encouraging users to view the plan online, acting as a gateway to additional information and content.
The Corporate Plan has been reviewed by Scrutiny and was recommended by Cabinet and Council in December.
The plan has now been published on our website, and you can view it by following this link: http://www.south-norfolk.gov.uk/democracy/1289.asp.
If you have any further queries or comments about the Corporate Plan, please contact Hannah Ralph (Strategy and Corporate Development Officer) by emailing [email protected].
It is with great sadness that we report the unexpected death of Derek Blake, our District and County Councillor, less than two months after his re-election to District and first election to the County Council.
Derek was known as a man who made things happen, and most if not all of “his” Parishes will have some development which Derek had a hand in delivering.
He will be sorely missed and our condolences go to his family, his friends and all who were fortunate enough to benefit from his energy and tenacity.
At its meeting on 17 September, the Parish Council approved the draft letter from the Parish Clerk to Richard Bacon MP, drawing his attention to the poor internet service enjoyed by Claxton residents, and the low level of confidence that this will be fixed by the Better Broadband for Norfolk Project. A copy of Mr Bacon’s reply is below.
