Marshland St. James Parish Council

The Borough Council have launched a budget survey today:

We would like to share our budget survey, which launches today, October 21.

Through www.letstalkwestnorfolk.co.uk, we are asking residents of West Norfolk how they value different services, and asking for their opinions on charges, as well as asking what ideas they themselves may have.

We’re doing this because the council has a plan to support the borough as a place where people and businesses can thrive but, like councils across the country, our budgets are under pressure and we have some decisions to make about what we prioritise.

It’s really important that the views of our residents are taken into account in making those decisions so we are asking people to tell us what is most important to them.

As a thank you for taking part, we are offering the chance to win passes or tickets from Alive.

The survey is open to anyone – we welcome the views of young people – and can be completed online (our preference if possible) or on paper (which can be supplied on request). It can be made available in large print or easy-read.

To enable the de-silting/bank raising works along the ‘Main Drain’ through the Parish, the footpaths on each side of the drain will be closed from 1st November 2024 to 30th April 2025 (dates subject to change).

Residents are coming together to invest in renewables through a group-buying scheme for solar panels and battery storage.

Solar Together Norfolk (www.solartogether.co.uk/kings-lynn-and-west-norfolk) helps homeowners feel confident that they are paying the right price for a high-quality installation from pre-approved installers.

This innovative scheme builds on four years of highly successful Solar Together programme run across the UK. To date Solar Together has delivered over 7,000 installations and over 130,000 tonnes of avoided lifetime carbon emissions.

Marshland St James residents residents can now join the group-buying scheme which offers solar panels with optional battery storage and EV charge points, as well as retrofit battery storage for residents who have already invested in solar panels and are looking to get more from the renewable energy they generate as well as increase their independence from the grid.

It is free to register and there is no obligation to go ahead with an installation.
