Following a bid to the National Lottery Community Fund the Parish Council have been awarded a grant of just over £8,000 to provide a car parking area at Deopham Playing Field. This will be from the roadside to the farm gate at the entrance to the field and will save vehicles needing to park in a wet, muddy area and, at times, getting their cars stuck in the mud. Together with the grant awarded late last year by South Norfolk’s Community Action Fund for a mound slide for the playground the Council is hoping to start work soon at the Playing Field. The car parking area will be done first with the earth removed from the area being utilised for the mound on which to put the mound slide.

We will update once we know a start date for the works on the car parking area.
