I welcome BT’s announcement that they are temporarily pausing the migration of all non-voluntary, managed migrations of customers from landlines to their new digital landline service – Digital Voice.
I have been working closely with Cllrs Bill Borrett and Gordon Bambridge, as well as the c.35 local communities that form the Campaign Against the New Town (CANT) group, to oppose this latest attempt to push through proposals for a North Elmham New Town and dump c.5000 houses in a deeply rural part of Mid Norfolk.
Further to the update I posted yesterday, I am now able to share a copy of the letter, co-written with Henry Cator (Chair of the Norfolk Strategic Flooding Alliance), that I today submitted to the Minister for Housing, Planning and Building Safety and the Minister for Water and Rural Growth.
I continue to place great importance on regular, direct contact with staff at all levels of our local NHS – including our GP surgery managers and the Norfolk and Waveney NHS Integrated Care Board who I had the opportunity to meet again yesterday for our latest virtual forum.
I was delighted to meet with Cllrs Bill Borrett and Gordon Bambridge, Parish Council representatives (including Parish Chair Peter Reynolds) and NCC Highways officers to discuss what more can be done to improve safety on the increasingly busy Norwich Road in Guist.
This past Friday, I was delighted to hold my latest Supermarket Surgery at Dereham Morrisons – where I met dozens of constituents, discussing a range of specific casework matters and/or wider policy topics on issues like town regeneration and High Streets, GP appointments, Highways issues and local banks.
