Trying to avoid being scammed by a voice on your phone or an email in your inbox is fast becoming a way of life! How can you be sure if the polite voice on the end of the phone or the genuine looking email are really what they appear to be?
They probably are… but what if they’re not?

We have put together some simple ways that may help you to avoid being caught by these low-life

Knapton Road / Hall Lane Junction Re-Modelling Plan

Click the image to view or download

Around twenty or so members of the public braved the elements to attend this evening’s Public Meeting (19th September 2023) in the Village Hall.

There was a full and frank, good-humoured discussion about the new design for around an hour or so, at which point all those members of the public present were asked to vote on whether or not the Parish Council should ask Highways to proceed with the re-modelling of the junction as per the design discussed.

All those present voted in favour of proceeding and it was agreed that the Parish Council should contact Highways and ask them to proceed as soon as possible.

The Parish Council would like to thank all those that attended this and the two previous open meetings.

Perched 43m above sea level on a hill with views of the sea, bordered by farm fields and long established woodland, criss-crossed by Quiet Lanes and well trodden footpaths, basking in the fresh sea air from the North Norfolk coast, Knapton is a little piece of heaven tucked away in a designated area of outstanding beauty.

gnated area of outstanding beauty.

We’re just three miles from the market town of North Walsham with it’s railway and shops, eight miles from the seaside resort of Cromer, with it’s pier and theatre and twenty miles from Norwich.

And our sleepy little village is just a mile or two from the gorgeous sandy beaches at Mundesley, Trimingham, Overstrand, Bacton and Walcott…

The tall proud cliffs add to the stunning views for walkers and beach combers alike.

But to stay safe, everyone should respect the cliffs and not try to climb them as this part of the coast has recently experienced some dramatic cliff slides

A farming community, our farmers contribute in lots of ways to our village life

We are surrounded by beautiful, country Quiet Lanes weaving their way through our parish…
