Why not take on an allotment? There are still some available on the North Pickenham allotment garden. If you are new to growing, why not try a quarter plot, or share a half plot with a friend. Growing your own fruit and vegetables is a great way to get some outdoor exercise and enjoy fresh interesting varieties of vegetables that you won’t find in the supermarket. It’s also a great opportunity to meet new people.
Contact any member of the Allotment committee today to book your plot.

The Chair of Necton Parish Council, Frank Woodward, made a repair to one of the Parish Council bins this morning, extending its life for a little while longer. The bin, located on the A47 beside the bus-stop to Norwich, was reported as damaged to the Council earlier in the week. Mr Woodward, a retired Domestic Appliance Engineer, assessed the damage and utilising some spare materials, made good a repair this morning.
“All in a day’s work for a Parish Councillor“, said Cllr Woodward, who has served on the Council for over 27 years.
The NRCC Committee have worked tirelessly for many years, updating the community centre, adding new facilities to the children’s play area and the adult’s outdoor gym and making sure that local groups can utilise a clean, warm and well-equipped hall for their many activities.
