Sink Hole- Alma Road

Just to make you all aware- Highways ( who are responsible for road maintenance) are aware of the continued issue and have already scheduled further works to correct the problem. Should you encounter any other highways issues, we urge you to report them directly to Highways at Norfolk County Council as they have a special reporting system that requires them to act within set time limits. Members of the public reporting problems directly will speed matters considerably. So we would urge you to use the reporting system, rather than reporting it to the Parish Council. Here is the link

Temporary Closure of Lamsey Lane, Heacham

Works to complete the Lamsey Lane junction improvement scheme on the A149 at Heacham are due to commence on 14 September 2026. It is anticipated that these works will be completed by 20 November 2026, subject to site and operational conditions.
The main junction improvement works carried out in Autumn/Winter 2025 could not be fully completed at the time due to an outstanding diversion of existing Anglian Water infrastructure
The works will take place at the end of Lamsey Lane, adjacent to the A149. Due to the nature of the works and the need to maintain a safe working environment, Lamsey Lane will be closed to all traffic for the duration of the works. This will ensure that traffic on the A149 remains largely unaffected, except for a short period towards the end of the programme when final surfacing works are carried out.
Bus passengers should check with their bus operator for any alterations to services.
The County Council thanks everyone for their patience while the utility diversion and final improvement work is carried out.
The work will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Infrastructure Department and their contractors.

Coastal Management Plan

Borough Council adopts coastal landscape management plan
The Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk has adopted the Norfolk Coast National Landscape (NCNL) Management Plan, which sets out how the county’s coast will be managed and protected over the next few years.
In West Norfolk alone there are just over 90km of coastline, including the western length from North Wootton and Castle Rising (north of King’s Lynn) to Burnham Overy/ Holkham Park.
Cllr Sandra Squire, Cabinet Member for Environmental and Coastal, has been the lead Member driving the new Management Plan forward. She said: “The new Norfolk Coast National Landscape Management Plan is the culmination of hard work by all members and staff of the Norfolk Coast Partnership, and partner organisations including the Borough Council.
“I wish to pay tribute to all the partners’ hard work in developing the new management plan, which is very different from previous versions: it’s more accessible, visual, relevant and relatable to audiences and users, and I am extremely pleased with the end product.”
As a member of the Norfolk Coast Partnership the Borough Council plays a key role in conserving and enhancing the natural beauty of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape.
The Partnership members include local planning authorities, Natural England, the Environment Agency, the Marine Management Organisation, RSPB, National Trust, Norfolk Wildlife Trust, community groups and representatives from the tourism, farming and business sectors.
Together the partners prepare and implement management plans for the NCNL, which are updated approximately every five years.
The latest plan sets an overarching vision to create ‘thriving nature and vibrant communities, existing in harmony’. That vision is supported by a mission to ‘protect, restore and enhance nature while empowering communities through active collaboration, sustainable practices and shared stewardship of the Norfolk Coast’.
Each of the members must formally adopt the plan, which the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk did on 11 June.
The NCNL Management Plan 2025-2030 will be published on the Partnership’s website (Norfolk Coast National Landscape Management Plan 2025-30 - Norfolk Coast), once all relevant partners (those with statutory decision making powers) have endorsed it.

Read the Norfolk Coast Management Plan, setting out priorities, policies and actions to protect and enhance our National Landscape.
