What is the best thing about being a Parish Councillor?

“Having a voice in community matters and expressing the views of residents. My family have a long association with the village dating back to the 1950s.”

What do you like most about living in Hoveton?

“As I don’t drive, the good transport links are important to be able to travel into Norwich and visit my family in London. The convenience of local shops helps to establish a sense of community. The local library is very important to me as I am an avid reader.”
