Local MP
Organises Meeting to Discuss Pedestrian Safety on
Sheringham's Holway Road |
Norman Lamb, Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for
North Norfolk, has arranged a meeting with local residents, campaigners, councillors and
the Police following local concerns over the speed of traffic on Holway Road, Sheringham.
Norman Lamb said: "I am well aware of the dangers posed by traffic to children and
parents when walking to school, and there are also a number of elderly people who
regularly need to cross this dangerous road. Some of the measures taken in Cromer have
made roads safer for pedestrians, and I would like to see more safety measures applied
here."
Liberal Democrat County Councillor Brian Hannah added: "A lot of local people are
concerned about the speed of traffic and the safety of schoolchildren who cross this road
every day. I hope the County Council will listen to these concerns and act on them. We
would welcome a desision to install a pedestrian crossing."
Councillor Hannah has been working with the 3 schools in Sheringham on a Safer Schools
travel plan as part of a Government initiative to encourage school travel using means of
transport other than the car.

1st RURAL
SCOUT GROUP WANTS CUBS & BEAVERS
1st Rural Cub Pack which meets at ROUGHTON MILL on TUESDAY nights is currently increasing
the number of places available for Cubs due to new leadership. This is a chance for your
child to learn about themselves and the world around them through fun, games and
friendship while becoming a member of the largest youth movement in the world. If your
child is 8 or 9 years old and might be interested in joining, please contact me, Carole
Charge! on O1692 407868 or email carole@charge.co.u k. We are also hoping to restart
the Beaver Colony soon and if your child is aged between 5 - 7 years please contact me to
put their name on the waiting list. Similarly, if any adults were interested in
helping we would love to hear from you. While Leaders must be 18 - 65 years old, helpers
can be any age over 18 and we find many early retired people have recently become involved
in Scouting, particularly in Norfolk.
