Colby & Banningham Parish Council

At the Parish Council meeting on 8 November 2011, Mrs Jenny Dyer was co-opted to fill the vacant seat on the Parish Council. 

A full list of Councillors and contact details will be available soon.

At the Parish Council meeting on 8 November 2011, all the comments from residents regarding commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee were discussed.  It was concluded that as most residents would prefer something “lasting” rather than a celebration, that the money from the summer event would be put towards the purchase of 2 picnic benches for the playing field.  This would both commemorate the jubilee and advance the long term plans for the field.   It was also suggested that a community picnic type event could be held over the weekend to make first use of the benches and get everyone together.  This would obviously be at no cost to the parish as everyone can bring their own food and drink!  Let the council know what you think about this idea.

I am very pleased to report that the Council had a faultless audit this year.  The Annual Return has been signed off by Mazars, the External Auditor, with no comments or matters to bring to the Council’s attention.    If you would like to see the copy of the Annual Return, please contact the Clerk.

Colby & Banningham – winners of the Small Villages Category in the North Norfolk heat, competed in the county finals on Sunday 4 September.  After a re-evaluation by the organisers, we were promoted to 3rd place – well done everyone!  Richard now has the medals and will be round very soon ….
