MADE IN THORPE POP UP HIGH STREET POUND LANE AND FITZMAURICE PARK

VISIT OUR FREE HIGH STREET EVENT Saturday 22nd August 2020, 11am - 6pm

Our events are extremely well supported, often drawing thousands of people to Fitzmaurice Park. This is an opportunity to engage directly with people in an exciting and innovative way. A space totalling 3m² will be allocated to interested businesses. The site will operate a one-way system for the flow of pedestrian traffic, and a range of businesses, services, employers, and food and drink stalls are encouraged to attend. There will be no cost for the event which will be funded by Thorpe St Andrew Town Council and District Council.

To book a pitch or for more information, email [email protected] Avenue allotments and turn this area into a tranquil area for residents to visit and sit and relax and take in what is one of the News from most inspiring views across the river valley.

The Town Council still honoured Armed Forces Week and I was Councillor John proud to raise the VE Day Flag and Armed Forces Flag at the Town Hall flag pole joined by Thorpe British Legion Branch and Fisher, Town Mayor Father James, suitably socially distanced. I feel that in times such I am very pleased to be writing this more upbeat as we are experiencing it is good to retain some tradition and report than my last one way back in March which was normality. We also raised the Canadian flag on July 3rd, Canada advising all residents to stay in and take precautions. I Day and had a chat via zoom with our Canadian twin town of was very pleased however to see many of our “I am self St Andrews. isolating” signs in people’s windows as I walked my dog. When we decided in May that the Council should have virtual This News edition is very much looking forward to how the Town meetings I was cautious to start with but, moving to the 21st Council can help to restore confidence and normality within the century has been quite straight forward and at the virtual Town. I know many residents are still nervous about going out July planning meeting we had many residents in attendance and about and many are anxious because their lives have been commenting and raising issues. Virtual meetings appear to be totally disrupted, regular visits to the shops, parks, church or more convenient for many people. football matches were suddenly taken from them. Finally I would like to thank everybody who volunteered in I am very pleased to tell you about the ‘Pop up Business event’ anyway during the lockdown. I know many residents helped to help our local businesses promote their goods and services. out neighbours and the elderly and a true community spirit So many of our small local businesses from estate agents to was generated with Thorpe St Andrew residents reaching out builders from printing to cafés, have not been able to work, so hands of friendship to families in Thorpe Hamlet with food as a community we now need to get behind them and by buying parcels. Hopefully we will not experience another lockdown. their services and goods we can stimulate and inject money into I know that if we do you will all rise to the challenge once more. our economy. I would like to give a special thanks to Fiona Bass our deputy clerk for coordinating much of this work and working During the lockdown I volunteered to deliver prescriptions tirelessly throughout. for two local pharmacies, a job I found so rewarding as the appreciation from the residents was overwhelming. My daily walks with my dog often featured Thorpe Marshes, Cary’s Meadow, Gargle and Belmore Woods and of course our own recreation grounds and all of which are such excellent facilities on our doorstep. I have been disappointed to witness an increase in littering since more people have been out and about and therefore the Town Council is launching a new litter awareness campaign. I often wonder if people who drop litter think about who or how it will be cleared up and therefore our new signs are asking that very question. I would like to appeal to all residents with front hedges to make an effort to cut the hedges back to their boundary line. With the need to ensure social distancing on the pathways an overgrown hedge can impact greatly when people are approaching each other from different directions. County Council Highways does have the authority to cut back hedges and charge the occupier if footpaths are seriously restricted.

My varying walk routes throughout the Town have identified some poor pathways so I have contacted our Area Highways Engineer to draw these to his attention. Footpaths are repaired on a rolling program and if the whole street is approaching the time for full repair then often patch up jobs will be left until the whole path is done, but hopefully many small repairs will be completed now that the highways staff are back to full time operation.

Opening up the tree plantation on Laundry Lane for use by Special Educational Needs and Disabled (SEND) children proved a very popular initiative. Many SEND children are vulnerable to infection but also need space to run and play and parents require five minutes relaxation as a lot of the respite care could not continue during the lockdown. As a result of this at the July council meeting it was agreed to make better use of some spare land at the top of the Hillside

1 Thank you A massive thank you to every one of the 35 people who answered our RBL request for helpers in the last newsletter.

They came forward to help our vulnerable and those shielding by volunteering their time and services in so many ways. These volunteers were matched with local people in need by the RBL branch. Better still most of the volunteers have now built ongoing support arrangements long-term.

RBL Members often talk about the wartime community spirit. It’s been extremely rewarding during this dreadful covid crisis to see our very own, present day Thorpe community spirit. So many people have come together as a team, long lost relatives, neighbours, past strangers who live in the same street, all to help others in need. These acts of great kindness have also been completed without expecting anything in return, making the help given even more appreciated. Thank you.

Sharing Goodwill on Canada Day On July 1st the Town of Thorpe St Andrew joined our twin community of the Town of Saint Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada to share goodwill and best wishes on Canada Day. VE Day 75 and Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic we have been in regular communication with our sister community to share experiences, Armed Forces Week responses and solidarity in the face of the global pandemic.

2 Our Parks and Estates team have continued to provide News from exceptional service in very difficult circumstances. They have worked tirelessly, undertaking a range of duties to support the community whilst also ensuring the day-to-day work of the team the Town Clerk continued. I spend a few days volunteering my time alongside For many of us, March 2020 seems like more than just them, although I am not sure whether I could be classed as a four months ago. At the start of 2020 I don’t think many help or hindrance, but it did give me the opportunity to engage of us understood the changes which would take place with residents on our parks whilst the office remained closed, in all our lives.

Donations were Within six days of the meeting, our newsletter had been received to support the volunteers’ costs and our community completely changed to include the latest government guidance response, totalling £2,000. and been delivered. A huge thank you goes to all our volunteers who delivered the newsletter throughout the town. All the volunteers had their temperature checked and were given PPE. Our newsletter was also published online.

Using collaborative software, we set up a virtual office, creating a seamless transition to remote working. The Council continued to be ‘open for business’, resulting in a steady number of ‘business as usual’ enquiries. During this time, the Town Council worked in close liaison and had ongoing meetings with Broadland District Council relating to community response, as well as with District Councillors on a daily basis. We have also maintained regular contact with the Police regarding breaches of Covid-19 guidance. Additionally, we promoted our Thorpe St Andrew app to support ‘emergency messaging’ during the pandemic.

For our residents’ health and safety, within hours of Government announcement our play areas were shut and the gym equipment was taped off. All park gates were either removed or tied open to reduce touch-points. Dog owners were requested to keep dogs on leads to ensure social distancing measures were maintained. This has now been changed to ask dog owners An ‘excess produce’ scheme has also been set up by the Council to consider doing so, in line with current guidance. for both allotment sites. This provides fresh fruit and vegetables to those in need via the District Council food boxes. We have had an overwhelming response to this, and I very grateful to everyone who has given so generously.

I am very fortunate to have such a hard working and dedicated team, who worked daily throughout the lockdown period. Without them, our response would have been impossible to maintain. Our Community Officer, Fiona Bass, was singled out by Broadland District Council for her work during lockdown and given an award on Friday 24th July 2020. I am also indebted to the Town Mayor and Deputy Town Mayor who have made themselves available 24/7 throughout this period, and to the District Councillors and Town Councillors who worked tirelessly with officers throughout. But most of all to the residents who volunteered to support the community during the lockdown.

3 The History of Thorpe Print Works Written by Clive Want Director of Thorpe Print Centre, Archant

Archant, formally know as Eastern Counties Newspapers, had outgrown the print hall which was situated within the current head office, Prospect House, in the centre of so a new site had to be found. Archant Print, on the St Andrews Business Park, was opened in 1995 by The Duke of Kent.
