Submit a response directly to the developer at https://longmarshgreenenergy.co.uk/feedback before 26th November
E-Mail Boughton Parish Council at [email protected] before 12th November
Drop a note into the white post box in the Church porch before 12th November

In case it is useful for understanding the extent of solar farm proposals at Fincham and Tilney I have created a Google maps overlay that allows you to zoom in to see a bit more detail of the proposed area for solar panels. Also includes The Droves solar farm at Swaffham.

Pond Presentation Meeting update

The Parish Council had planned to hold a presentation regarding the pond at a public meeting in September. It had been intended for residents to have the opportunity to hear from several experts about strategies that could improve the pond’s resilience to drought. Unfortunately, those guest speakers are no longer available. The Parish Council has therefore decided to defer the public meeting, pending an evaluation of the results of the recent works on the pond and a questionnaire for residents which will be circulated later this month. As always, residents are welcome to provide their views and comments in the interim by emailing the Clerk of the Parish Council at [email protected].

Given that there is now sufficient water for ducks to swim again in the Pond, as well as many other sources of water such as puddles, etc., the receptacles being used to provide water for the ducks have now been emptied and stacked. This is to prevent a real risk of spreading disease among the mallard population at the Pond. If you have provided containers for water over the last few weeks, we’d be grateful if you could now collect and remove them from The Green.
