Sculthorpe Parish Council

Sent on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Colin Sutton.

I am writing on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk, Colin Sutton, to inform you that the consultation for the new Norfolk Police and Crime Plan 2026-2028 has now been launched.

The Police and Crime Plan will establish the strategic priorities for policing, crime prevention, and community safety across Norfolk over the next two years. As key partners in supporting and delivering safer communities, the views and experiences of local authorities are invaluable in helping to shape these priorities.

Please find attached information relating to the consultation. I would be grateful if you could take the opportunity to review the enclosed documents and complete the consultation survey, which can be accessed via the following link:

Survey Link: Police and Crime Plan 26/28 and Police Budget Consultation 2027/28

The consultation will remain open until Friday 9^th October, and we would encourage responses to be submitted before this date.

In addition, I would be grateful if you could share the consultation materials and survey link with relevant town and parish councillors, and partner networks where appropriate. The Commissioner is keen to ensure that as wide a range of views as possible are reflected in the final Police and Crime Plan.

This consultation represents an important opportunity for public sector partners, communities, and stakeholders to influence the future direction of policing and community safety across Norfolk, and we welcome all contributions.

Should you have any questions regarding the consultation, please do not hesitate to contact me at: OPCCN@Norfolk.Police.UK

Thank you in advance for your support and participation. The Commissioner looks forward to receiving your views and those of your colleagues.

Dear all

Here is my weekly update.

You’ll see there is a survey on Norfolk Recycling Centres, open till October 18th. Please do comment if you like or dislike the booking system or the way the centres are operating:

In addition,  I am in discussions with NCC regarding the inability to book by phone at the weekend, which makes it hard if you decide on the day to take stuff to the dump.

The Big Conversation on Care vote is thought provoking!

The Common Grant Award funding for community groups from the Government looks interesting. Find out more at

Community groups invited to apply for funding to bring people together – GOV.UK

Please can I draw your attention to a survey from Healthwatch Norfolk on the future of healthcare in your communities, what is working for you and what isn’t, and where you would like to receive care. It isn’t a consultation on proposals to change any services, if necessary that would be consulted on later, but it is an opportunity to have your say and do take this:

In addition, I have been speaking the Road Safety team about putting on more free older driver workshops. Most of the ones scheduled are fully booked but more can be put on if the demand is there so if you know of residents who would like to ask to be put on a waiting list for new workshops please email me and I’ll pass the request on ( please specify where would be most convenient – Fakenham, Sheringham, Wells for example)

Here are details of the course: Older driver workshop – Norfolk County Council

There are also individual sessions with a driving instructor which are offered at the reduce rate of £42 ( free to those on pension credit). More details are available at

Guidance for older drivers (GOLD) – Norfolk County Council

Do get in touch if any questions.

Very best wishes,

Cllr. Victoria Holliday
