Rlfeb16-V4 Layout 1 FREEREEPHAM LIFE YOUR Community Newspaper www.reephamlife.co.uk No. 30 February 2016 No. 30 February New plans to re-lay track on former railway line HORSE-riders and other users of Marriott’s Way have raised concerns about a bid to rebuild a section of railway line on part of the permitted footpath, cycleway and bridleway. The Whitwell & Reepham Railway Preservation Society has submitted a revised planning application to re-lay track on the station building side into one of the original platforms of Whitwell Station. The heritage railway group says this will provide better access for disabled and elderly passengers to board the diesel and steams trains operating at the station. If approved, the plans would involve fencing off several hundred metres of the former Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway track bed, which is now Marriott’s Way in the ownership of Norfolk County Council and used extensively by walkers, runners, horse-riders and cyclists. The Whitwell & Reepham Railway Preservation Society has submitted a The scheme would see a two-metre-high wire fence installed revised planning application to re-lay track on part of the Marriott’s Way to section off more than half of the 6.5-metre-wide gap and risk trampling over other users, who would have nowhere between the two existing platforms and for some distance to go but forward or back on the remaining narrow space. along the track.

  • Themelthorpe Loop 12.5 Miles
    Themelthorpe Loop 12.5 miles Getting started This walk starts at Whitwell and Reepham Station: don’t forget to pop in for a drink and a marvel at their trains! Getting there There are places to park in Reepham, Cawston, and a car park at Whitwell and Reepham Station. What to expect Mainly off-road, along tracks and quiet lanes. Marriott’s Way can be quite muddy in sections so wear suitable footwear. Facilities Reepham has many facilities including a pub, shop and cafe. Whitwell and Reepham Station serves food, drink and has toilets. The longest of the Marriott’s Way circular walks joins the villages of Cawston, Reepham and Great Witchingham by following the ‘Themelthorpe Curve’. Marriott’s Way is made up of two former train lines: the Midland and Great Northern line (originally joining Norwich with Melton Constable), and the Great Eastern Railway line (linking Wroxham and County School). In 1959, all passenger traffic stopped flowing through Norwich City Station, but the station was too important for goods to shut completely. So as to avoid a journey all the way to Cromer to get from one side of Norwich to the other, the Themelthorpe curve was installed to join these two lines which had been rivals before nationalization. The curve was the sharpest corner on any line in the UK, so tight that trains were limited to 10mph when going around. The path now is home to the largest badger sett in Norfolk, mainly thanks to the imported materials used to build the railways being firm enough to support their extensive network of tunnels.

  • Upton-Report-2017
    Upton with Fishley Parish Council Report to Chairman Parish Councillors and Residents 2017 Frank O'Neill - Broadland District Council Member for Blofield with South Walsham Date: 20 April 2017 This is my second Annual Report since I was elected to represent residents of Blofield with South Walsham. The Ward encompasses the following parishes: Blofield to include Blofield Heath; Hemblington; South Walsham; Upton with Fishley and Woodbastwick to include Ranworth, Panxworth. Quite what should go into this report I am still not sure. What follows is therefore a potpourri of events and issues that have drawn my attention through the year. Property development within the villages is an issue that always focuses attention. Change is not always good but some change is inevitable. Of course the greatest development activity is in Blofield but other parishes are not immune. I will not dwell on individual cases where the issues and outcomes are already known. This report comes primarily to the elected representatives of this parish. It is with them I have most regular contact. through the year. Might I ask that this report is published on the Parish web site for circulation in the wider community? I would be grateful.

  • Investigation Report Into the Flooding in Broadland Various in 2013- 2016 Report Reference: FIR037 Report Prepared by Nathalie Harris and Published on 16 August 2019
    Investigation Report into the flooding in Broadland Various in 2013- 2016 Report Reference: FIR037 Report prepared by Nathalie Harris and Published on 16 August 2019 1 Executive Summary (a) Flooding incidents and causes This report includes the internal flooding of 36 properties and highway flooding of 3 roads over a series of dates ranging from 2013-2016. Principally those included in this report are individual properties located across Broadland District within the following parishes: • Acle • Beighton • Blofield • Buxton with Lammas • Foulsham • Great and Little Plumstead • Hellesdon • Horsford • Lingwood & Burlingham • Newton St Faith • Pettywell • Reepham • Salhouse • Strumpshaw • Wroxham Catchments: • Hellesdon • Lackford Run • Reepham Beck The flooding that occurred was caused by: • Drainage system overloaded • Increased run-off • Drainage system or outfall blockage, unmaintained or obstructed • Surface run-off from roads • Surcharging of the drainage system; Entry of flood water into property • Property(ies) had structural issues • Neighbouring property • Obstruction of surface run-off flow paths by structures • Obstruction of surface run-off flow paths by debris. This led to the internal flooding of 36 properties. (b) Key recommendations Risk Management Authorities should; • Communicate with affected residents where their assets have given rise to the flooding of properties. • Review the appropriateness of their response to flooding. 2 • Determine the integrity and/or capacity of their assets and their maintenance where they have contributed to the flooding of properties to understand the systems role in accommodating rainfall events as well as mitigating flooding. Property owners of affected properties should; • Confirm the integrity, capacity and appropriateness of their property drainage • Determine if works are needed to remove the risk posed by structures that form obstructions to flows.
