LOCAL AMENITIES
The Parish Council is responsible for some services and amenities within the Parish, and is happy to 'signpost' for others. Refuse collection is provided by North Norfolk District Council and roads are maintained by Norfolk County Council.
Allotments
The council owns land used for allotments on the Walcott Road. Many people in the village use the land to grow vegetables and other plants. If you would like to put your name down for an allotment, please contact the clerk.
Amenity Land
The Council has recently acquired (for a token payment) an area of land at Highbanks Edingthorpe. The land has been cleared and made safe.
The council invities views and suggestions as to what use the land should be put. It adjoins a neglected pond (which could be turned into an attractive feature). It also has fine views over open countryside.
There is limited funding, but with enthusiastic response from residents it could be developed into a very attractive community area for adults and children.
If you have any thoughts, offers of help or suggestions, please contact the clerk to the council.
Bacton playing Field
The Playing Field is an amenity for everyone in our villages. It is owned and managed by the Parish Council. For further information contact the Clerk.
