WITH LANA HEMPSALL, YOUR LOCAL DISTRICT COUNCILLOR

Dear Residents,

It is with great pleasure that I write to you after almost a whole year as your District Councillor.

The past year, since my election, has been without a doubt one of the busiest, but most rewarding times of my life. With your help, I have identified and started to tackle a number of issues that have been troubling you for quite some time.

One of my first challenges was to do something about the sharp rise in reports of anti-social behavior in the vil- lage. Residents near The Green and on Pyebush Lane had serious concerns that the youngsters congregating in the village were becoming too noisy too late in the evening and that their general behavior was setting a poor example to other young people in the village. Fortunately for Acle, the Police and Broadland District Council were able to organise a Restitution Circle in the autumn, which has resolved a number of issues and several ac- tions have been taken forward by groups of volunteers and indeed by the Parish Council.

Thanks to this Circle, the Youth Club has re-opened its doors to youngsters on a Tuesday evening, communica- tion across the age groups has much improved and we are, as a community, addressing the lack of facilities for younger people in the village.

I have taken on co-ordination of efforts to refurbish the play park at the Recreation Centre and am pleased to let you know that the Recreation Centre has also agreed to have a skate park built on its grounds, which is being de- signed by youngsters at Acle High School. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this project so far; Acle Parish Council, the new management committee of the Recreation Centre and especially Daniella Peacock, Andrea Calvert, Brian Grint, Georgina Dent, PCSO Gary Philo, Nigel Law and Pauline James for giving up their spare time to support this project.

Finally, to the Joint Core Strategy and the recent High Court Judgement. As far as Acle is concerned at present, the recent developments will not affect the number of houses that are planned for Acle and I do not anticipate, under present circumstances, that this will change. The JCS will be ‘repaired’ for the Greater Norwich Develop- ment area, but as Acle lies outside of this area, I do not anticipate any changes.

This just leaves me to thank you all for your kindness and support over the last year. If you have any issues relating to District Council matters, I can be reached either by phone, email, post or in person. I hold regular surgeries before every Acle Parish Council meeting and I’m happy to arrange appointments in the day if that suits you better.

I look forward to seeing you at the Annual Parish Meeting on 16th April.
