Police & Crime Commissioner Q&A

Posted on 17th July 2019 by clivepc

The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Lorne Green is hosting a special Q&A session in Fakenham on Monday 22nd July at the Fakenham Community Centre, Oak Street, NR21 9SR. The event starts at 5:30pm.

The PCC will be joined by senior members of the County’s Fire and Rescue Service and the Chief Constable in facing public questions.

This event is thought to be the first of its kind in the country.

The PCC is inviting members representing the North Norfolk area to participate in the question and answer session. This is a great opportunity for councillors to ask questions and receive information directly from both services.

Appeal to our Benefactor

Posted on 22nd May 2019 by clivepc

We will soon be in a position to seek further help in raising funds for the construction of the village hall on the recreation ground. To start the ball rolling we thought we would test-run our appeal.

We are currently looking to raise £160,000 towards the hall. The village residents have so far raised £30,000. The parish council have pledged another £10,000 once the building work starts. We will be looking for providers of a capital building grant of £120,000.

Do you think the following letter would do the trick? if not, could you join our team as a grant application researcher?
