As a result of the Covid 19 pandemic, the 2020 Poppy appeal will be different to previous years.

The British Legion have advised there will be no door-to-door collections this year. 

You will still be able to buy your poppy in Bunwell Stores or Day’s Garage, or you can make donations online or do your own fundraising with family and friends. 

Further details of how you can support the Appeal can be found online at: 

https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/get-involved/poppy-appeal 

So despite this year’s restrictions, the British Legion is calling on the public to take part and wear their poppies with pride to make sure the Appeal is as successful as always and can continue to help members of the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force, veterans and their families.

This has been a strange and challenging time for Girlguiding. We started, as usual, in September meeting together each week, little suspecting that by Easter our weekly meetings would be suspended and all activities would be sent out by email to be completed at home.

Planning & Development in Bunwell

Earlier this year Bunwell Parish Council established the Bunwell Planning Development Group comprising four lay volunteers and four parish councillors. The group is preparing recommendations for the Parish Council’s response to The Greater Norwich Local Plan (GNLP).

The GNLP is being jointly produced by South Norfolk, Broadland District and Norwich City Councils in partnership with Norfolk County Council. The GNLP "aim[s] to produce a plan which will help to meet local housing and economic growth needs, whilst also protecting and enhancing the environment" for the period 2026 to 2038.

The group is working on a suggested parish council response to the GNLP with the aim of ensuring that:

1. Long-term planning and development in Bunwell meets the village’s future housing needs.
2. Bunwell assimilates the housing allocation deemed necessary under the GNLP.
3. Future development is in-keeping and sympathetic to Bunwell’s character.
4. Bunwell develops in the way most villagers want to see the village develop.
