Hoveton Community Council

  • Temporary Closure of Littlewood Lane

    Due to new foul water and electricity connections works, Littlewood Lane, Hoveton, will be temporarily closed to traffic (except for access) from 6th October to 19th October 2018.

    The closure will affect Littlewood Lane from a point 25 metres south-west of its junction with the A1151 Stalham Road to its junction with the A1062 Horning Road. An alternative route for traffic is via Littlewood Lane, A1151 Stalham Road, A1062 Horning Road. Further details can be found in the public notice.

    Your Parish Council has already alerted residents of Littlewood Lane to this closure and advised residents of possible disruptions to access. Pedestrian access to Littlewood Lane will remain available.

  • A New-Look Broads Centre

    Hoveton Parish Council was pleased to welcome a representative from Building Plans Ltd to its September meeting to provide members of the Council and local residents with an update on proposed improvements to The Broads Centre. The Broads Centre (Hoveton’s ‘shopping precinct’) may soon have a whole new look, with plans underway for new and improved hard and soft landscaping, including new surfaces, seating and planters.

    As part of these plans, changes will be made to the area immediately outside the Hotel Wroxham, with the removal of parking spaces creating a pedestrian-friendly zone, and roofs, shop fronts and signage will eventually be updated. Meanwhile, Hoveton’s Granary Staithe, which provides a key entrance to The Broads Centre, has also been included in the ‘phase one’ development plans.

    Broads Centre Draft Plans

    With kind permission of Building Plans Ltd, Hoveton Parish Council is pleased to be able to share a very early draft plan (above) of the works proposed. It is hoped this work will be completed before the 2019 tourist season begins, so watch this space for further updates.

  • A Successful Audit

    Hoveton Parish Council recently received confirmation of the completion of the Council’s external audit for 2017-2018. No concerns were raised in the external auditor’s report and the Clerk was thanked for her hard work in ensuring another successful audit. Your Parish Council has now published its ‘Notice of Conclusion of Audit’ alongside its audited Annual Governance and Accountability Return. These may be viewed on our Financial Documents page.

  • New Ways To Keep In Touch

    As part of its ongoing commitment to community involvement and consultation, Hoveton Parish Council is pleased to be launching this new-look, more user-friendly website. The Council hopes this new site will enable local residents to learn more about the way the Parish Council works, the work your Council undertakes on behalf of the local community, and the ways in which members of the community can get involved in the Council’s work.

    Hoveton Parish Council also recently launched its own Facebook page, which is so far proving very popular with local residents. Packed full of interesting information about your village and your Council, our new website and Facebook page are the best online resources for local residents looking for accurate, trusted, up-to-date information about matters of local interest. We’d love to know what you think about these new services, or to hear your suggestions for website and Facebook content, so please leave a comment below!
