Advice has been received of a power cut on Monday, 19th July 2021 from approximately 9.30 and to 13.00 hours

The overhead cables will be shrouded near Hall Drive and there will be temporary traffic management in place to cover the section of work to be completed.

Due to the unprecedented worldwide spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) the next Parish Council Meeting planned for the 20th April is now cancelled.

We can advise  that the Village Hall bookings right through to June have been cancelled.  All Car Boots are cancelled at the moment until such time that the Village Hall can reopen and provide the necessary facilities (toilets etc)

Unfortunately advertising had already been arranged but the posters will not go out.  The Village Hall Committee is committed to following best practice and will follow advice given and adhere to social distancing.

The World will prevail and  although we will not come out of this unscathed, we will come through this.  Volunteers have come forward and will be assisting those amongst us who are vulnerable and it is important at this time that we all come together and help one another where and when we can.

To all our residents we hope that you all keep healthy, we are lucky living in a rural setting but that will not deter this Virus, so please take care.  Use your gardens and do speak to your neighbours but just maintain a little distance as advised.

Norfolk County Council has made a temporary traffic order affecting the TL88102 Santon Downham footbridge because of timber repairs.

once again Santon Downham will play host to this worthwhile cause on Sunday 25th November.  The run commences from 10.00 a.m

During the hours of 6-10pm on the evening of Wednesday, 14th February 2018 a Green and Yellow Quad Bike was stolen from one of the village residents drive.The owner advises that the bike had a flat battery so it is likely this had to have been pushed out towards a vehicle.

If anyone saw anything suspicious could they please communicate with the Parish Clerk on 01842 815213 or email silv1948@sky.com.

The theft has been reported to the Police.

Open Reach will be holding a 10k charity walk from Santon Downham Village Hall on Sunday, 26th November 2017.    The event organisers have sent out letters to their runners advising them to take care when parking their cars.  Marshals will be on hand and the area will be signposted and coned off.

The Village Hall will be selling teas/coffees and bacon butties (sorry no cakes) on this day mainly for the walkers but of course the village residents will be more than welcome to pop in and of course, to cheer on the walkers.

We are happy to advise that there are now some books on the shelves in the Phone Box and anyone may help themselves to a book to read, or add another to the shelf.

We have, following a most successful training course, added the defibrillator equipment to the Phone Box but we are currently showing this as “not in use” until all Emergency Service requirements have been followed.

Please note that the 7th September is incorrect for the next Parish Council Meeting, which in fact is the 4th.
