WELCOME
Welcome to the website for Strumpshaw Parish Council, incorporating the villages of Buckenham and Hassingham.
Strumpshaw is located on the northern bank of the River Yare around 6 miles (9.7 km) south-east of Norwich. The name Strumpshaw may derive from the old english meaning 'stump grove' which could refer to a small wood.
Parish councils are the first level of local government and the closest to the community they serve. Parish council meetings are open to the public and there is a public forum at the beginning of each meeting for members of the public to put questions to the parish council.
We're responsible for:
-
Allotments
-
Buckenham Wood
-
Stone Pit
-
Bus shelter
-
Litter and dog bins at Buckenham Wood and Mill Road
-
Commenting on planning applications
-
The village notice boards
