Many of you will have seen the flooding at the junction of the little cut through from the B1152 with the A1064. Hopefully, this problem will be sorted out very soon.
Preliminary work has been carried out and permits are now in place for the pipe work across the carriageway to be jetted. Once this is done, the problem should be sorted. The earliest this can be done is 4th March.
Do you read the EDP?
If so, please can you collect the Plant to Plate tokens for Fleggburgh Primary School. If we are able to collect enough tokens we have a chance to win £1,000 worth of gardening equipment for the School which would be great for the children.
Tokens can be handed in at the School.

Police are urging residents to be vigilant after an elderly man was almost conned out of thousands of pounds by a telephone scammer pretending to be a police officer.
The incident happened in December 2019 when the man aged in his 80s and living in the Roughton area received a call on his landline from a man claiming to be a police officer. The suspect told the victim that a member of his family was in trouble with the police and that in order to help him out, he would need to withdraw £5000 from his bank account. The victim was told a plain clothed officer would be over the following day to collect it.
When raising his concerns about the legitimacy of the call with a neighbour, they both contacted the police who confirmed it was a telephone scam. No money was stolen as a result of the incident.
Police are keen to hear from anyone who may have received a similar type of telephone call or has any information about these incidents. Anyone with information should contact Norfolk Police on 101 quoting crime reference number 36/86493/19.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
Residents are reminded that the police never ask you to withdraw money or purchase items. In addition:
• Your bank or the police will never ask for your PIN, bank card or bank account details over the phone – never give these details to anybody.
• Neither the police nor the banks will send a courier to collect money from you.
• Always request Photo ID and if unsure call the police.
• If you’re asked to telephone a bank, then always do it on a different phone to the one you were contacted on. Fraudsters will keep the line open and have been known to play ring tones, hold music and a recorded message down the phone so the victim believes they are making a call to a legitimate number. Use a friend or neighbour’s telephone instead.
• Never download any software suggested by caller.
• Do not rush into complying to the scammer’s demands/requests.
Friends, family, carers and neighbours are asked to spread the word to ensure everyone is aware of this scam and what they should do.
Fuel Theft Security Advice
Don’t become a victim of fuel theft. Follow the fuel theft security advice:
Control switches that control the flow of oil should be turned off and the electricity supply
isolated when the tank is not in use.
Purchase a good quality lock.
Check your oil levels regularly. This will alert you quickly to any problems. Many tanks can be fitted with a gauge to monitor the levels that can be read inside the house.
Keep the tank in a position that is very overlooked.
Always remember that access is required for any deliveries.
If your tank is close to the house make sure you can see it from your windows – this, coupled with the lighting, will make it less of a target.
Don’t overlook the importance of ventilation if enclosing the tank – advice should be sought from your oil company.
