Recurrent full-width flooding of road in heavy rain, 20th December
There is a ditch on the west of the C201 (The Street, Fritton) that carries all the water from Fritton Common; in heavy rain water flows from the ditch onto the road rather the ditch receiving water from the Common and the road and then carrying it away northwards. Nothing has been done to the ditch itself since 1995.
I had extensive and helpful correspondence since 1994 with Matt Worden of the NCC Highways Department. He corresponded with the Diocese of Norwich (one of the landowners) and the tenant of the Diocesan farmland, and perhaps also with another tenant. No-one wanted to take responsibility for carrying out the work. In 1995 pressure was brought to bear (I think by NCC) on at least one tenant/landowner, and a contractor dug out the ditch for 300m to the north of the loke but nothing was done to the same ditch to the south of the loke. Perhaps the tenant refused; at all events the matter dropped. Nevertheless the work that was done made an improvement overall.
The problem now is the same as it was then: heavy rain brings whole-width flooding of the carriageway for up to 100m each way from the church loke both to the north and to the south, and for partial flooding for a further 200m each way. The cause is the failure of one or more parties to maintain the ditch. Over the years the brambles, other vegetation, silt and debris have collected in the bottom of the ditch, which is now about two feet shallower than needed and than it was after the 1995 work. Also the small brick culvert under the church loke has been damaged by heavy vehicles over the years and is much narrow than it used to be; this further aggravates the backlog of water upstream to the south. Most years the NCC or its contractors have cleared the several gullies connecting the ditch to the carriageway but this work inadvertently makes the problem worse: unfortunately water now runs from the raised level of water in the ditch through the cleaned gullies ONTO the road rather than from the road into the ditch as intended.
I have some of the correspondence from the time but not of course any correspondence between the NCC and the responsible parties, and can provide it if needed.
Something needs to be done and I would be grateful for your input. I would of course be very happy to meet you on site if needed.

Kerbstones around drain opposite farm, 2nd September
When passing another vehicle on the road from Fritton towards hempnall crossroads I clipped the kerbstone which at the time I believed was a pothole due to the noise it made. When I went back it was the kerbstone protruding from the verge. Resulting in a split tyre, virtually immediate flat when I stopped on The Krons I had to get over to avoid an oncoming vehicle and wasn’t travelling fast, I just feel they could cause a future incident.

Neighbours dog fouling in my private drive, 15th February
Hi there.
We as a road are experiencing dog fouling issues in our private drives.
I have politely asked my neighbour, who lives at 4 school road, Fritton, to stop his dog wondering on to our drive and fouling and to pick up the mess, but to no avail.
Today i have found another dog poo by my front door, and have seen him several times, yet again just letting his dog run where ever and foul where ever.
