  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

  • Report to Cabinet
    Environment, Development and Transport Committee Item No. Report title: Highway Parish Partnership Schemes 2018/19 Date of meeting: 16 March 2018 Responsible Chief Tom McCabe – Executive Director, Community Officer: and Environmental Services Strategic impact The Parish Partnership programme delivers small highway improvements which are considered a priority by local communities and support Local Transport Plan (LTP) objectives. It is also covered by a “vital signs” performance indicator. In March 2017, EDT Committee agreed to continue the programme using £300,000 of the highway improvements budget to fund up to 50% of each bid, with consideration of increased contributions for parish councils with incomes below £2,000. Additionally on 19 January 2018 the committee agreed to boost this provisional by £25,000 for the next 4- years utilising some of the additional £20m investment from our members in highways. Executive summary This report sets out the proposed parish partnership programme for 2018/19 following analysis and review of the applications submitted. Recommendations EDT Committee is asked to: 1. Approve all bids listed in Appendix B for inclusion in the Parish Partnership Programme for 2018/19. 1. Background 1.1. The Parish Partnership Scheme began in September 2011, when Parish and Town Councils were invited to submit bids for local highway improvements, with the County Council initially funding up to 50% of bid costs. Funding is therefore targeted to meet needs identified at a local level and helps us to support and promote our role in enabling communities. 1.2. The programme has been well received by Parish/Town Councils and members and feedback has been very positive from communities.

  • South Norfolk Council Electoral Review
    South Norfolk Council Electoral Review Warding Patterns Submission September 2016 1 Contents 1. Foreword 2. Introduction 2. Proposed Warding Arrangements 3. Equality of Representation 4. Community Identities and Interests 5. Convenient and effective local government 6. Conclusion 1. Foreword South Norfolk is earmarked for significant growth. By 2022, the number of electors within parts of our District, including Costessey, Wymondham and Long Stratton will have increased substantially. We have been required, as a result of the present electoral variance within the Old Costessey Ward to undertake a review of the District Ward Boundaries at this stage, even though we recognise that ideally this process would have followed on from a Parish Boundary review. Having sought clarity regarding the criteria employed by the Local Government Boundary Commission to undertake this review, we have felt compelled to employ a strict adherence to the “10% principle” – that no ward should be more or less than 10% from the average and, in practice, as close to the average as possible. We must redraw the lines following the requirements of the Commission, ensuring that a Parish does not sit in two different District Wards, unless it is also warded. However, this has led to a number of dilemmas in fine-tuning our proposals that our communities will rightly highlight to you. Nonetheless, as much as our communities may favour alternative arrangements, we also recognise that just because a Parish or Town lies in a different District Ward, our communities do not necessarily change. Community organisations will still bind them together, based on their commonalities – and in some cases differences.
