This is taking place in small meeting room (side entrance) of Broome Village Hall from 7.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. All Broome residents on the electoral register are entitled to vote. It is necessary to take photographic identification to the polling station.
The Conservative, Green, Labour, Liberal Democrat, Reform UK, and Restore Britain parties, plus an Independent, are all fielding candidates. The Liberal Democrat candidate is currently one of Broome’s district councillors.
Broome has very poor bus services. The parish council supports the proposal to once again run Bungay – Norwich Charcoal Line bus services through Broome, as they used to until shortly before the pandemic. It is believed district councillors also support this. A resident of Broome has taken the trouble to cast a timetable where this could be achieved without requiring extra resources. It is not easy to communicate with First Buses but answers will be sought as to whether and when this improvement can take place.
A NATIONAL LOTTERY grant has been awarded to pay for this. It will be a new multi aspect climbing frame to replace the life expired existing one. The parish council hopes it will be an exciting attraction for the young people of the village. Quotes have been obtained for the removal of the existing equipment prior to the installation of the new one.
3.00 P.M. Sunday 9th November 2025, at the War Memorial, Village Hall Car Park.
As for the last few years there will be a short service to enable Broome residents to pay their respects to all those who gave their lives, including servicemen from Broome, in the service of their country.
It is likely the hall will be open for light refreshments afterward.
BROOME PARISH COUNCIL
Broome P.C. First Aid Course Poster 28.8.25
Thankyou to everybody who has patiently waited for this event to be organised.
Please see attached poster for details.
The parish council would be very pleased if you are able to attend.
The parish council is aware a significant number of full and covered skips have been left in a field beside Sun Road. The picture was taken last Sunday and shows about 12 skips but now the number has risen to about 18.
The landowner has explained they have been left there temporarily. Were they to be left there permanently it is likely to be a contravention of planning regulations. They contain building waste and that must be disposed of at a registered site. The Environment Agency have been informed of the situation and will monitor that everything is done correctly. The skips don’t contain asbestos but corrugated metal sheeting and there is no food waste and so they won’t attract rats.
Should there be any further relevant news it will be published here.
Shortly before Christmas Broome’s original village sign, dating from 2000, was re-unveiled by Beverly Hancy. Beverly is the daughter of the the original carpenter of the sign, Brian Dove, a long term resident of the village who carved it free of charge.
It was removed in 2018 when the woodwork was badly weathered and replaced by the sign featuring the village hall which was erected as part of the commemoration of the centenary of the armistice at the end of the 1st World War.
Beverly and her husband then organised the restoration of the first sign by the T.V. program ‘The Repair Shop’ and the result is that the colourful sign looks as good as new.
That’s the explanation why Broome has two fine signs standing next to each other.
The parish council would like to thank everyone involved with the project, including Beverly and David Hancy, and those who donated to the cost of the scheme and also undertook the work. As a result the scheme came with no cost to the village.
On Sunday 13th December at 2.00 p.m. in the afternoon the Revd. Chris Sutton has kindly agreed to hold a short remembrance service at the War Memorial outside the village hall. Light refreshments will be provided afterwards inside the village hall. It is hoped as many residents as possible will attend to pay their respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the two world wars, including a considerable number who came from Broome.
