Broken glass from junction here all way down road to Easton roundabout, 19th February
Lots of broken glass in the road appearing at the junction marked and continuing at random points past Blind lane, on the corner near Easton church, at the junction with Dereham road and at the Easton roundabout. Obviously an open backed lorry transporting something with broken glass each time it has braked or gone round a corner has shed glass.

Overhanging tree from 33 Wheeler Crescent's garden obstructing pavement, 28th August
The garden tree from 33 Wheeler Crescent is overhanging and low over the pavement. This means that pedestrians have to bend down low or walk in the road, which is on the 90° blind bend with Garnett Drive. The owners have been approached a few times and his reply was to bend down. Please can you send a letter from Norfolk County Council Highways, as the vegetation does not comply with the Highways Act clearance above the footpath.

Trimmed shrubbery just left in a heap and not removed, 27th January
I live at 2 Buxton close. I wanted to email the parish council to ask if they are able to help with a problem I’m having.
For years lots of shrubbery (and a tree) grew and it started to hang over the road. The land is not mine - after receiving a letter in October 2020 asking me to cut it back or have to pay fees from NCC for them to trim I explained it was not mine land and had deeds proving this. They confirmed this was the case and agreed to clear this. I attach photos of how they left it after trimming it. I had thought they may come back and take away the rest but haven’t.
I had to remove myself loads of cuttings from my garden and LOAD was just left, fallen and hanging all over my caravan - I have cleared all this myself. Gradually I have been filling up my brown bin and bin bags to try and remove all this but it’s taking so long. It feels a little harsh too given that this land and cuttings are not my responsibility. I already paid 350 last year to have the tree cut back which I emailed Norfolk county council saying I had done this as a support to this work.
I have included a picture of the pile of bags I still have to take to the tip and there still is loads left! They haven’t removed all the shrubbery anyway and I suspect in spring it will all sprout up again. My fence has all been damaged by the shrubbery growing on and over it. Is there anything that can be done? I will keep chipping away at it each week in the mean time...
