• Thank you – Pooch’s

    The Parish Council would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to one of our wonderful local businesses for their generous support. Liz and Sarah, owners of Pooch’s, kindly approached us with an offer to sponsor the village dog waste bins. They have provided new stickers for the bins and are also contributing towards the cost of emptying them.

    We are extremely grateful for their community spirit and support in helping to keep our village clean and welcoming for everyone.

    If you have a dog or if friends or family members do, please do pay a visit to Pooch’s at Flitcham Barns. They offer a fantastic range of healthy dog treats, all lovingly made on site.

  • Your Parish Council Needs You

  • Oil Theft

    Hello to the residents of Flitcham. My name is Julie Squires and my Mum is Margaret Squires. Mum’s sister and my Aunt was the late Elizabeth Osborne.
    I believe the property you are speaking of belongs to us.
    After a few trips to England to make arrangements for my Aunts passing, and legal and realtor appointments, we had discovered that not only has someone stolen the oil from the tank, but the lawn mower, garden furniture, tools from the sheds, and most of my Aunt’s contents from the skip we’re also taken. My Aunt’s wishes was for some of her belongings to be sent to the garbage, not to have them resold by others. And some other items given to a select household. While there last week, I did manage to find one of the people who were using our skip and property as their garbage dump. So I returned their garbage to them much to their upset. Now, as of yesterday, someone has dumped their hedge clippings around the back of my Grandads garage, just behind Aunt Liz’s garage so no one can see. This is very upsetting to not only me, but also my Mum. She cannot understand how anyone could use the skip we paid for at £600, take things that do not belong to them (unless some people were offered) and continue to dump on our land. My Aunt hadn’t even been buried, while all of this was happening. We have logged a file with the police and have an open docket. The constable assigned to the case was around to the house April 17th. Tomorrow, I will be contacting the Norfolk Council about the garden dumping on the land part of which belongs to them.
    I just wanted to set you mind at ease if you are concerned for your own fuel tank. I do believe that it was simply someone taking advantage of a situation as sad as it may be.
    Also, I have met some very lovely people in the village whom admired my Aunt and her kindness, and I am very glad our paths have crossed. You know who you are and I look very forward to seeing you all again in the very near future.
    Kind regards,
    Julie
  • Flitcham Telephone Kiosk

    A 90 day consultation period begins today to give members of the community the opportunity to make comment regarding Flitcham Parish Council’s decision to adopt the telephone kiosk.
    The PC decided to do this as the phone box was due to have the services removed and then locked.
    By adopting the kiosk it will become a community asset and discussions will be taking place over the coming months to decide how best to use it.
  • Grit Bins

    The Parish Council purchased 3 grit bins and filled them with salt/grit for use in icy conditions.

    The map below indicates the location of each bin.  Please feel able to use the grit for clearance of pathways near your own premises.
