The annual calendars for all bin collections have now been made digital, so can be accessed by residents via the Broadland District Council website and be printed at home or downloaded onto computers/mobile devices.

This change has been made due to increased online access and the issues we’ve had when delivering the calendars during the bad weather we typically experience at this time of year. As calendars are left under residents’ bin-lids rain can damage them and results in many calendars being unusable. To counter this we have made the decision to put the calendars online only and we will not be delivering calendars under the bin lids as normal. Residents will be able to find the calendar relevant to them by using the online bin finder.

If there are issues surrounding computer/internet access we are able to print copies internally and send them to residents via post.

Residents whose collection day change is before their normal collection day will be sent a flyer highlighting that their collection day is being brought forward.

Norfolk County Council helps make the county better for everyone who lives or works here or travels to Norfolk. The many services we run include ensuring children and young people have the best start in life, providing the fire and rescue service, protecting vulnerable people, maintaining a safe road system and helping improve the economy. We spend over a billion pounds every year providing public services.

Even though we are proposing to increase council tax next year, by the minimum required to put our finances on a sound footing, the amount of money we hope to raise wouldn’t be enough to balance our budget.

This means we must continue to make some difficult decisions about how we spend your money.

You can find out more at www.norfolk.gov.uk/budget and have your say using our online feedback form. Using our online feedback ensures we have a clear record of your response and that your views are accurately recorded.

We appreciate that not everyone has online access and people who are unable to respond online can send us send their views in writing to:

Freepost Plus RTCL-XSTT-JZSK Norfolk County Council, Ground floor – south wing, County Hall, Martineau Lane, Norwich NR1 2DH.

People can request individual consultation documents in other formats, including paper form, by calling 0344 800 8020 or emailing haveyoursay@norfolk.gov.uk. We will make all materials as accessible as possible.

Our consultation closes at midnight on Sunday 23 December 2018. Please note that if we receive any consultation responses after this date we cannot guarantee that we will be able to take them into account.

Norfolk County Council have been working on the re-design of a proposed new service 
for children’s centres which reflects national and local changes as to how families 
are supported and considers the needs of parents with children aged 0-5 years across Norfolk.

The proposed new service aims to:

1.Bring the services out of the buildings and into the community, to the children and  families who need it the most.
2.Help communities and parents offer local activities and groups.
3.Make it easier for families to access the information and advice they need, through  providing better joined up online and digital services.
4.Change how we work to make sure we deliver in the best way for today’s families.

We are  consulting  on this proposed new model and wanted to direct you to the 
webpage www.norfolk.gov.uk/childrenscentres where the consultation proposals are 
published and open for consideration and your responses.  The consultation is open 
until 12 November and we look forward to receiving your feedback,
