Great Yarmouth Borough Council

Great Yarmouth Borough Council has welcomed today's announcement that plans for up to £20m of new funding for the town would be going ahead. Read the full story here >>> https://ow.ly/e45350TXfxz The previous Government revealed last year that, under its Long-Term Plan for Towns programme, Great Yarmouth had been selected as one of 75 places across the country to receive support. Following wide engagement with the community and stakeholders, the Council provided detailed proposals on how the money would be spent over the next ten years as part of an ambitious vision for Great Yarmouth and its residents. However, following the general election, the new Government put the funding on hold. That uncertainty has now been lifted with the news the programme will be retained as part of a new regeneration programme. #GreatYarmouth #GYBC #GYBCLongTermPlan

This morning's service was truly lovely. Mayor of Great Yarmouth, Revd Simon Ward, members of the council, representatives from the Royal British Legion, and pupils from St Nicholas Priory Primary School all placed crosses in the ground to honour their loved ones and those who sacrificed their lives for our country. Please remember that our Remembrance Sunday service will take place this weekend at 11 a.m. in St. George's Park.

Are you planning to celebrate Bonfire Night this evening? Here are some important safety tips to keep in mind: 👍 Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby. 👍 Light fireworks at arm's length using a taper. 👍 Light sparklers one at a time, keeping them at arm's length, and never give sparklers to children under five. 👍 If a fire breaks out, move away and stay away, then call 999 for help. Stay safe and enjoy the celebrations! 🎇

Unfortunately, we have noticed an increase in fly-tipping across the Borough 😔 Dealing with fly-tipping is time consuming and drains resources which could be used for much better things. Fines start from £200 but can increase to much much more. If you see any fly-tipped waste or catch someone in the act please report it here - https://ow.ly/c8O850U03Qj Let's work together to keep our streets clean 💚

November is a time for remembrance and reflection. This Wednesday, members of the public are invited to attend a Blessing of the Crosses ceremony at the Cenotaph in St. George's Park, Great Yarmouth. The ceremony, which begins at 11 a.m., will be led by Revd Canon Simon Ward. It provides an opportunity for attendees to place crosses, each marked with the names of servicemen and women who lost their lives during the war, in the memorial area.
