September
Thanks to a grant from Norfolk County Council repairs to the bus shelter on Cuckoofield Lane, oppsite the Co-Op, should take place on Wed and Thurs (3 and 4 Sept). This work is weather dependent so we are hoping it goes ahead.
While the work is taking place, the bus stop will be moved a few metres along the road. This will be clearly signposted.
Once the roof has been repaired we will be looking for volunteers to paint the inside of the shelter. If you can help please email clerk@mulbarton-pc.gov.uk
August 2025
On Thursday 28th August, South Norfolk Council’s contractors will be excavating the village pond ‘Todds Pond’. The work is essential for the ongoing health of the pond and we hope that, in future, it will enable the pond to hold water all-year-through. We acknowledge that such works can have quite a negative effect on the appearance of a pond with it looking muddy and messy. However, this will soon recover as the vegetation regrows. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact South Norfolk Council via CommunityAssets@southnorfolkandbroadland.gov.uk

South Norfolk Council, working in collaboration with Mulbarton Parish Council, were recently successful in achieving funding, through an application to the Pride in Place Community Grant, to commission a feasibility study to look at the community facilities in Mulbarton and specifically the various uses of the village hall site.
This work will investigate the current challenges and benefits of the site, understand and document the current and future needs, wants and issues for user groups/ the local community and consequently consider various options for the site, including potential operating models and recommended facility mixes and building provision.
An important part of the feasibility work is to consult with local user groups and organisations, as well as the wider community. Your views and feedback are an important element of this work and we would like to invite you to provide your views via a short online questionnaire, which should take less than 5 minutes to complete. A link to the questionnaire is provided below. Please click on this link to complete the survey:
We very much hope that you will take the time to contribute to this study by completing the survey, which will remain open until 2 September 2024.
