• Tilney St Lawrence Parish Council invited a representative from Evolution Power Limited, the company proposing the Longmarsh Green Energy Development, to attend a public meeting in the Parish on Monday 2 November.
    The purpose of the invitation was to provide the company with an opportunity to engage directly with the local community at an early stage, give an overview of the proposed development and answer questions from residents about the proposals and their potential impact on the Parish and surrounding area.

    The company has responded as follows:

    Thank you for the invitation to attend your council meeting.

    We appreciate the Parish Council’s interest in the proposed development and recognise the importance of local community input into the design of the project.

    You will note we have already made a number of design commitments with the aim of minimising impacts on the local community. We are carrying out this consultation to seek feedback from the Parish Council and local community members to allow this to be considered as part of the development process. A number of local community members have already provided helpful feedback that will result in adjustments to the proposals and we would welcome written input from the Parish Council following your community meeting.

    Following the consultation we will consider all feedback received and, along with stakeholder engagement and further technical work, this will help us to refine our proposals. In the event that further clarification is then required we will seek a meeting with Parish Council representatives to discuss and reach agreement on the approach prior to submission.

  • Norfolk County Council Budget Setting – Have Your Say
    Norfolk County Council is inviting you to let us know your thoughts on our 2027-28 budget consultation proposals.

    • The consultation runs from Monday 26 October 2026 and closes on Monday 7 December 2026. The consultation is available here: www.norfolk.gov.uk/budget
    • They will feed back the findings from the consultation to county councillors as part of the evidence they will use to help them come to a decision about budget proposals. Final decisions about the budget will be made by councillors in February 2027.
    Our proposals
    Overall spending is set to increase next year – but with significant pressures being felt due to increased demand for council services, particularly in adult social care and children’s services, and costs of inflation and reduced funding from central Government, the authority is facing a £35.927m budget gap.

    They are seeking views on a proposal to increase council tax and eighty-six budget proposals adding up to efficiencies and cost reductions of £32.273m – which would make a big contribution towards a balanced budget.
    How to take part
