Bus service

With the launch of the national bus strategy and Great Yarmouth Transport Strategy open for consultation, organisers are asking for four Xl buses a day to come through Filby And Fleggburgh instead of going down the Acle Straight. This will provide a regular bus service which is identified as a priority in the neighbourhood plans. In addition to this the bus stops at James Paget Hospital, cutting the need for some Hospital transport.

 

Food Bank Collection Point

Any items which you would like to donate to Gt Yarmouth Salvation Army Food Bank can now be left in Filby Post Office.  Foods needed are tea, coffee, tinned fruit or vegetables, dried food like pasta, rice and breakfast cereals, instant porridge or noodles (many people do not have cooking facilities) There is a more comprehensive list in the post office if in doubt. Suitable items can be bought at the shop or brought in when you are passing.  Volunteers will collect the items and take them to the Salvation Army. Many thanks to Adrian and Jenny Thompson for making this possible. Any queries -  contact Joan 01493 369021.

 

Speedwatch

The new SAM2 speed sign is up and running. It is a mobile sign to be positioned in Filby and Fleggburgh including Billockby and Clippesby. It records speeding traffic 24/7 and will aid the good work already being done by the speedwatch teams. Prices and designs are now through for Gateway signage and extra signage at Filby Heath, this has been applied for on a parish partnership scheme.
