Charles held the Annual General
Meeting, mapping out what had
been another outstanding year for
the club. He read out 'thank you'
letters received from the Cycling
Response Unit and also from
Morley House, both of whom
received cheques for £350 from
the annual show. Thanks were
expressed to club members and
village supporters without whose
contributions the show would not
proceed.
Charles Fosgate offered to
continue as Chairman and was
unanimously returned, as was the
rest of the committee.
Mr Graham Benefer then gave an
A to Z talk on bonsai, bringing
exquisite specimens for us to
enjoy. The talk was outstanding
and very well received, the
members bombarding Mr Benefer
with questions at the end of the
evening.
Plant of the month winners were

appreciated. The arrangements
were raffled at the end of the
meeting accepted by grateful
members.

Horses:
We are getting a lot of complaints about horses using public
footpaths and even village greens. Just a reminder that horses are
not allowed to use public footpaths nor village greens, either for
access or grazing. Many thanks . Grimston Clerk.

We need your ideas and help to put together an exhibition and
commemoration event to mark the passing of 100 years since the
outbreak of the First World War. There are names of men on the
war memorial in the churchyard at Grimston whose families may
still live locally, we would like to hear from you if you have
memories or photographs to share. It would be brilliant to borrow
any artifacts, newspaper cuttings etc., indeed anything which
connects our area in 2014 with the way life was lived in 1914. Let’s
try to make this really special. Any thoughts or ideas would be most
gratefully received by any member of the Grimston Parochial
Church Council – telephone numbers can be found at the back of

AFFORDABLE HOUSING QUESTIONNAIRE
The Parish Councils are still fighting to get our village some affordable
homes. You may recall the survey done in 2005 – which identified 24
households in need of affordable housing over the following 5 years or
so. Only 3 of these were actually on the Borough’s Housing List at the
time. From that survey it was decided that the village needed 10
Affordable Homes. The Authorities failed to deliver.
We have to try to get across to the Borough Council that there is still a
demand in our village. Apparently there is only 1 person in the 4 villages
on the Borough’s Housing List now. As you can see from above, that
doesn’t mean there is not a need.
We need to know how many families have a need for affordable
housing over the next 2-5 years or more, teenagers still at school, young
couples, single people, elderly needing old people’s accommodation
and any members of your family who have had to move out of the
village and would like to move back to be near their family. The
following questionnaire may help us to put some figures to the
Borough’s Housing Department.

QEH MATTERS
By the time you read this, the road
works at Gayton Road roundabout
should be complete. Let us hope it
has had a significant effect on the
traffic flow during the late
afternoon when school, work and
hospital traffic are at their peak.
The hospital will also be
experiencing winter pressures on
both the A&E department and
emergency admissions.
There is extra funding to help cope
with the workload over the winter
plus alterations to the A&E
department, but much depends on
the weather.
The hospital trust will be holding
elections for new governors at the
end of January. There are 5
vacancies for public governors in
West Norfolk. If you are a
Foundation Trust member you will
automatically receive voting papers
in the New Year. With the QEH
having
been put on ’special
measures’ by the regulator
Monitor, there has never been
a more important time for the
Trust to have a strong
Governor’s Council in place to
represent the views of the
community.
The governors have a key role in
the Trust and will make sure the
Trust is accountable to the
community they serve. The full
council meets 4 times a year plus
other
committee
meetings
throughout the year. I would
encourage all who have an
interest in local healthcare to
use their vote in the election.
It is not too late to join – just
look at the QEH website and
go to the ‘Get Involved’
section.
May I wish you all a Happy and
Healthy New Year. Pat Watts.

Incinerator update
How much does it have to cost
before the Serious Fraud Office
(SFO) investigate? Detailed concerns
regarding the incinerator were
recently sent in a letter to the SFO
in the hope that a thorough
investigation can be launched.
Some of the concerns and known
facts are outlined below:
Norfolk County Council signed a
contract making Norfolk’s taxpayers
liable for approximately £596 million
if it proceeds and £26million if it
does not. Independent reports show
the incinerator costing around £30
extra per tonne to treat Norfolk’s
waste compared to existing facilities
offered by competitors.
Alternative proposals could save
substantially more. Before the
contract was awarded a cheaper
competitor was recommended to
win the contract. However, just
2.5hours before the Waste Project
Board met to decide the winning bid,
a Council officer switched the
recommendation
to
Cory
Wheelabrator’s £46million more
expensive bid. If the board had been
given time to read the new
recommendation they might have
noticed it contradicted itself.
At the next board meeting unelected
officers voted to recommend
Cabinet award the contract.
24
Factually
incorrect/misleading
information about a telephone
survey formed part of the Willows’
planning application, this was also
used to help persuade Caroline
Spleman (Environment Secretary at
the time) to release DEFRA grant
funding and ignore the official West
Norfolk ballot outcome.
NCC only signed the contract when
they thought they had the grant.
Signing it made Norfolk’s taxpayers
liable to pay out many millions of
pounds whatever the outcome. It is
doubtful Norfolk’s taxpayers would
be in this situation if flawed
information had not been provided
to key decision makers during the
procurement process.
There remain many unanswered
questions that warrant investigation.
At the time of writing the final
planning decision is still not known;
when it comes it will provide a clear
indicator as to the health of our
democracy.

GRIMSTON & DISTRICT GOOD COMPANIONS
At the meeting on Saturday, 18th
November, Club members Christine
Brook and Barbara Andrews helped
members to make Christmas and
Birthday cards. Christine and Barbara
had made sample cards to show them,
but everyone quickly decided what
they wanted and made some very
pretty cards.
Making cards was
something many had not done before
and it was agreed that it was a nice
change from having speakers and they
all went home delighted with their
work.
The Bring & Buy consisted of tins and
packets of food. Beryl and Stephen
Watts made a commendable £16.40
for Club Funds. Any tins/packets not
sold were taken to the Food Bank.
The Raffle raised £20 and £17 was
taken on the door. The W.I. provided
a really lovely tea, which was much
appreciated. Margaret was on holiday,
but Ann was there with her willing
help.
We are looking forward to the
Christmas Party on Saturday. 21st
December, when
members are asked to bring a single
Christmas card and a wrapped
Christmas gift. There will be carol
singing and a buffet tea provided by
the Committee.
The Annual Lunch will be at the Anvil on
Saturday, 15th February. It will surely be
as good as on previous occasions.
The meeting on Saturday, 18th January
will be a Games and Chat afternoon,
with no speaker. There are very many
residents in the four villages who are
Senior Citizens and could benefit from
joining the Club. We are a friendly
bunch and meet once a month. We
try to make the meeting interesting
and we enjoy a tasty tea in good
company. There’s no need to worry
about transport, as members with cars
will provide a door-to-door service.
The January meeting would be a
great opportunity for you to
come for a “taster”, before
deciding if you would like to join
the Club. Please contact Nick
Smith on 01485-600769 or Shirley
Hone on 01485-600750 if you
need transport.

New powers for PCSOs to tackle dog fouling.
Police Community Support Officers
(PCSOs) across West Norfolk will be
teaming up with the Borough Council
of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk in a bid
to crack down on persistent dog
fouling.
PCSOs across the district now have
additional powers which enable them
to issue fixed penalty notices on behalf
of the Borough Council, the aim being
to tackle the specific problem of
irresponsible dog owners who do not
pick up after their dog.
The fixed penalty notice carries a fine
of £75 and can also be used for those
picking up and then throwing the bag
of dog faeces in the vicinity as a
littering offence.
The new powers came into force as a
result of feedback from the Safer
Neighbourhood
Action
Panels
(SNAPs) which are held across the
district. Dog fouling was an issue that
was raised by residents in many areas
as a key issue where they live.
Inspector Paul Garrard, from the
Operational
Partnerships
Team,
Explained: “Dog fouling is an issue we
have raised with us both via SNAP
meetings and our conversations with
residents. These additional powers are
an example of partnership working at
its best. PCSOs spend the majority of
their working time within our local
communities and therefore are able
enforce
this
section
of
the
Environment Act effectively.”
“These new enforcement rules will
also allow us to target hotspot areas
for
dog fouling, ensuring that these areas
are regularly patrolled to target
persistent offenders.”
Cllr Brian Long, Cabinet Member for
Environment, said: “Dog fouling is an
issue that we repeatedly get reports
about.
This partnership with the
police and the PCSOs means that they
are our eyes and are more likely to
catch the worst offenders in the act. If
they witness a dog owner not clearing
up their dog’s mess, then they will
issue a fixed penalty notice, something
they weren’t previously able to do.
We are hoping that the increased
possibility of receiving a fine will
reduce the problem and the increased
physical presence of the PCSOs will
encourage irresponsible dog owners
to start taking their responsibilities
seriously.”
Safer Neighbourhood Action Panels
(SNAPs) are public meetings where
local people can raise any concerns
about their community. Any member
of the public living or working in the
neighbourhood is welcome to attend
and we also encourage organised
community groups and Parish Councils
to attend.
SNAPs are chaired by a local
councillor and there is panel of officers
from the Borough Council, Police, and
other key local agencies such as
Housing Associations. The meetings
are held every two months, at a
community
venue
within
the
neighbourhood.
To find out more information about
the SNAP meeting in your local area

Holly Meadows School - 2013
2013, The Chinese Year of the
Snake
... and Ofsted visits!
This, the Chinese Year of the Snake,
started with a slithering success with our
whole school study of China. The
Confucius Classroom Scholars, based in
our county, joined us from KES sharing
and celebrating learning all about China
which the children really loved. The
international-links we form help the
children to understand that the world is
much greater than just our county of
Norfolk, an important realisation, not to
drive them out of the county but to let
them make informed choices to stay or
to return once they have realised the
quality of what we have on offer.
As we moved through the year we had
lots to keep us busy and by the end,
Ofsted could not wait any longer to
come and join the fun! The inspection
team found that there was a lot we were
getting started well on as a new school
but, they asked for more and that
shaped the start of the Autumn Term
with drive for better teaching, higher
standards of achievement and better
data analysis. Her Majesty’s Inspectorate
came to see how we were getting on in
November and Ms Marianick EllenderGele, confirmed that we were doing
well, encouraging us to keep going and
32
to continue to offer the range of
activities and opportunities to learn, as
they are valuable, important and
exciting.
The end of the year gathered speed with
Christmas plays, meals and parties to fill
our days, not forgetting that we had to
keep our foot to the floor in order to
keep standards continuing to rise. The
teachers are talented operators who
manage to find ways of hooking in the
interest of the children, teaching them
new things and turning learning
experiences into opportunities to show
off what they have learnt and perform.
Thank you to the staff for their
continued hard work and support this
year.
This Christmas we have taken the skills
and talents of the visiting Springwood
Performing Arts staff to new heights with
inviting them to incorporate learning
about Victorian England with writing by
Dickens and inspiration from the
Muppets! The children have learnt so
much and are keen to share their
performance with their family and
friends. The youngest children in our
school have been delighted to “tread the
boards” too, singing their hearts out and
Holly Meadows cont.
tell the tale of the King, born in the
stable. We were disappointed to run out
of time to visit Grimston Church this year
but we became fully aware of trying to
pack in too much into a short space of
time at the risk of our health and safety.
Holly Meadows School now has 131
pupils and we are delighted to share
with you what a wonderful bunch of
children they are... hard working, curious
and polite; they have been working on
independent learning and they are
getting better and better at that! They
work together well too, showing that
they have learnt how to play an effective
part in our complicated world where
getting on with people is so important.
Thank you to the Ambassadors, Team
Captains and School Council in particular.
Thank you to all those people from the
“outside world” who have worked with
us, particularly those giving their time
voluntarily. The reward of a child’s smile
or the “light bulb” moment when they
realise just what it is you were trying to
teach them IS enough but, we realise,
that does not pay the bills, so we
appreciate the challenge of fitting in our
pupils as well in to your busy lives.
A special boy to remember... Benjamin
Page, a Year 5 pupil, needs a well-earned
mention for being awarded a much
coveted Blue Peter badge for remaining
calm when his brother was choking and
being able to call 999 for an ambulance!
It is wonderful that he has been
rewarded for such an act of maturity well done, Benjamin!
A Happy New Year from each and every
one of us.
With very best wishes from me and the
school,
Rachael Williams, Headteacher, Holly
Meadows School.
