Message from Anglian Water

Following months of exceptionally dry weather, three successive heatwaves and significantly increased demand for water, Anglian Water have announced a Temporary Use Ban (hosepipe ban) across our East of England Region for domestic customers.

The ban has been implemented immediately with several other water companies responding similarly to the same conditions.

There are a small number of exceptions to the ban to protect jobs, livelihoods and those customers who are most vulnerable.  Customers can still water their gardens and grow fruit and vegetables if they use a watering can instead of a hose or sprinkler.  At present the hosepipe ban only applies to domestic hosepipe use.

 

For full details please visit www.anglianwater.co.uk/hosepipe-restrictions.

Wortham and Burgate are two adjoining Parishes on the Norfolk/Suffolk border.  Wortham, the larger of the two Parishes has an electorate of over 700, and just south of the A143.

The villages are well served by Wortham Primary School, The Post Office Stores and Tea Room.

Wortham and Burgate villages are twinned with Hede-Bazouges, Britanny, France and Badbergen, Germany.

  

The Wortham Village Hall and Burgate Church Hall both play host to various clubs and organisations, as well as Wortham Tennis Club, Wortham Bowls Club and several Football Clubs.
