We work with the community and local partners, as well as looking at our own data to come up with the priority that we will have for Acle for the next three months:
Road Safety across Broadland
Issued 18 March 2026
Over the past month we’ve done speed checks on Norwich Road in Lingwood and spoken with the A47 project and Traffic Management officer ref speeding in South Walsham and rat runs being created. This will continue.
We’ve also done parking patrols outside Acle Primary School responding to neighbourhood complaints.
Other recent activity includes nursery visits in Brundall, school parking patrols for Blofield School, addressing residents’ concerns in North Burlingham for the British Sugar and Highways lorries contravening traffic signs in the area and responding to complaints about a car causing ASB through its manner of driving and noise in Hassingham – worked together with road policing to get the vehicle stopped and prohibition notice issued.
We’ve also responded to Acle Parish Council regarding vehicles parked on the road without tax and MOTs, did speed checks on Norwich Road, Lingwood, carried meet and greet with the Norfolk PCC at Acle library in which we promoted our area priority of road safety, proactive patrols in Lingwood in relation to recent information about a disqualified driver.
In April, intelligence gathering and development has been ongoing following reports of driving offences being committed in the Lingwood area
Speed checks carried out on Salhouse Rd Panxworth and South Walsham Rd Acle.
The new Acle to Brundall section of the A47 was opened and speed checks have been conducted on there, with drivers being reported for excess speeds, including 88mph and 108 mph during one day.
