BUILDING ACTIVITY ON VILLAGEHALL SITESA temporary suspension of buildingactivity on the new houses on the oldMemorial Hall site during April inevitablygave rise to some speculation as to why.The simple reason was that building hadproceeded so swiftly that it hadoutstripped the agreeing of finalcontractual arrangements to do with thenew village hall and activity had to besuspended. I am pleased to report thatall contracts have now been signed,sealed and delivered and by the timethis newsletter is published activityshould have restarted on building thehouses and over the summer a startshould be made on our new hall. Thistime next year we should be in it!KENNINGHALL NEIGHBOURHOODDEVELOPMENT PLANAt its May meeting the Parish Councildecided to apply to Breckland Council tobecome a Neighbourhood Forum.

of slowing a significant amount of trafficdown to 30mph as it enters Kenninghall.Unfortunately, there is still a smallproportion of drivers who blatantly chooseto ignore it.PLANNING UPDATEAt the point of writing the appeals to thePlanning Inspectorate for six projectsaround Kenninghall reported in the lastnewsletter are still under consideration bythe PI and no decisions have beenforthcoming.HIGH SPEED BROADBAND UPDATEHSB continues to be available in certainparts of the village only, with somerecipients now claiming to obtain speedsas high as 70 mbps – the average is morelike 30-40. In order to get BT to providecapacity right throughout the village it isimportant to contact your provider andask for it, or contact BT directly. The morepeople without it who do so, the morelikely BT will extend provision. It is worthhaving!PARISH COUNCIL WEBSITEThe Parish Council website is now wellestablished and, as well as featuringsome information about Kenninghall, hassections and folders on it containingParish Council meeting minutes, VillageHall Committee minutes and past andcurrent copies of the Newsletter.

Progressive Lunch – Not ThisYear But Next Year!The Memorial Hall Committee recentlydiscussed this at some length and havedecided regrettably that we will not beorganising a Progressive Lunch thisyear. Given that the meadow and hallsite now have construction work goingon, and problems finding other suitablevenues, we realised we would have tocompletely rethink the whole event, andfelt we had left it too late. However, weare committed to putting on the Lunchnext year, and will start planning for itearly next year. It is an important eventin the village calendar, and fairly uniqueto the village.

If you would consider hosting one of thecourses at next year’s Lunch, or wouldbe willing to volunteer moving furniture,setting up gazebos, helping make food,serve food, wash up, help behind the

bars, tidy up and dismantle gazebosafter the event, then we would love tohear from you. Please contact AnneKay on 01953 888320 so we can startplanning in advance.
