on people in Bodham. Please email him at

Community News |
A number of Bodham Villagers have noticed the great efforts of Barbara Hanlon
and Pearl Toyn. During their regular lengthy walks they have been collecting
litter in and around the village. These older residents are determined in their
efforts. We should congratulate them for taking a real pride in their village.
Thank you.
It is disappointing to report that one of the side glass panels at the
Holt bound bus shelter in Cromer Road was vandalised. This is likely to have
happened on Wednesday 12th February. Footprints on the other panel suggest that
this was done deliberately. The incident has been reported to the Police and a
crime number has been issued. If you saw anything please contact the police on
101 and quote the crime reference number 36/11019/25
