BBC Radio Norfolk breakfast show was in Reepham’s Market Place this morning to discuss the effect last month’s closure of the HSBC branch has had on the town’s shops and market traders.
 
Local retailers say they have already noticed a drop in trade since the bank closed. Meanwhile, HSBC has promised to provide a replacement ATM in the Market Place, but that has not materialised yet.
 

Wednesday 11 November is the day that the Mobile Hearing Clinic comes to the Market Place, meaning that two spaces need to be set aside, the other one being for the Reepham Rover as usual. However, we have now been told that a large Radio Norfolk vehicle will also be present for the first half of the morning and will require additional space as well. So there will be even fewer parking spaces than usual,from 6.00 up until about 9.30 or so.

Everyone is invited to a presentation by Matthew Champion, director of the award-winning Norfolk Medieval Graffiti Survey, in Reepham Town Hall on Tuesday 10 November. Refreshments will be available from 7.15 pm and the talk is due to begin at 7.30 pm and will last about one hour. Entry is free to Reepham Society members and £3 on the door to non-members.
 

Norwich Road, Reepham, has been re-opened, the works having finished early.
 
However, Sanders Coaches have just emailed to say their buses will be operating from the fire station until 7 November. This may change, so check direct with them.
 

Nofolk County Council Highways have announced that the through route Market Place-Church Hill-Norwich Road will be closed during the week  2-7 November for installation of bollards.
 
However, Market Place will still be open for access and parking; Church Hill will be open for access as far as Ollands Road; Norwich Road will be open for access from Bircham Road to Rococo Loco, but note there is no turning space after Bircham Road.
