A47/A141 Guyhirn junction Project update winter 2020 Investing in the A47 The A47 is an important connection, linking the cities of Norwich and Peterborough, the towns of Wisbech, Kings Lynn, Dereham, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft and a succession of villages in what is largely a rural area. As part of a multi-billion investment to improve journeys on England’s major A-roads and motorways, the Government is funding a package of six projects on the 115-mile stretch of the A47 between Peterborough and Great Yarmouth. Together the projects will convert almost eight miles of single carriageway into dual carriageway and improve key junctions along the A47 road. The A47 road improvement projects are: n A47/A141 Guyhirn junction n A47 Wansford to Sutton dualling n A47 North Tuddenham to Easton dualling n A47/A11 Thickthorn junction n A47 Blofield to North Burlingham dualling n A47 Great Yarmouth junction About the A47/A141 Guyhirn junction project Project benefits A47 We’ll be making changes to the Guyhirn junction between the A47 (Fen Our improvements to the junction will: Road to South Brink) and the A141 (March Road) which is used by over B1187 GuyhirnGuyhirn 20,000 vehicles a day and experiences high levels of congestion.

  • A Short Guide to Providing and Managing Sites for Gypsies and Travellers

    A Short Guide to Providing and Managing Sites for Gypsies and Travellers

    Places we’re proud of A short guide to providing and managing sites for Gypsies and Travellers January 2021 2 / Places we’re proud of About this guide This short guide shares some key lessons and strong examples to prompt more housing associations and local authorities to get involved in providing good- quality sites for Gypsies and Travellers. It’s produced by the National Policy Advisory Panel on Gypsy and Traveller Housing, which is a group of housing providers committed to extending provision and raising standards of this much-needed type of accommodation. The guide is based on research funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, undertaken by De Montfort University in Leicester and published by the Chartered Institute of Housing in 2016.1 This showed how vital it is for existing sites to be well managed, before seeking political and public support for plans to build new sites. The 2016 study identified a list of essential ingredients for effective site delivery and management, which this guide amplifies and illustrates with successful case studies from across the UK. Foreword I am delighted to be able to welcome this guide to providing and managing Gypsy and Traveller sites, produced by the National Policy Advisory Panel on Gypsy and Traveller Housing. It is welcome to see housing providers driving debate on Gypsy and Traveller accommodation. There are excellent examples of housing associations and local authorities working together to provide and manage sites in their areas. Baroness Cathy Bakewell Their message is that housing providers can and should include Vice-Chair of the All Party Gypsy and Traveller sites in their plans for developing new Parliamentary Group on housing.

A stone over the door records the date 1660 and the initials ‘RP’. Whatever fascinating riddle those initials may present to the historian, it is surely the date that is significant, and which endows this little place with an importance out of all proportion to its size and location. The year 1660 was a turning point unique in English history. It was the year in which England ceased to be a Commonwealth and reverted, following the death of Oliver Cromwell in 1658, the subsequent retirement of Richard Cromwell, his son and successor as Lord Protector, and the accession of King Charles II, to what it had always been and has remained since, a monarchy. So Guyhirn Chapel has the rare distinction of embodying that turbulent period. Front cover: Exterior from the south (Kate Weaver) Left: The Pulpit (Kate Weaver ) 2 Exterior from the north-west (Christopher Dalton) Exterior from the south-west (Christopher Dalton) 3 What makes the chapel of special interest, forms of worship with which it was associated, non-attendance at church on the Lord’s Day black gown and contrasting white ‘Genevan’ however, must surely be the fact that it was illegal, whilst the Conventicle Act passed two was punishable at one time by a heavy fine.
