Love Local, Spend Local campaign
With the Love Local, Spend Local campaign we are asking our residents to make a conscious decision to spend a little extra every month with local businesses.
The idea is that a small change by many people makes a big difference. For example, if each adult in Broadland and South Norfolk spent an extra £5 a month with local shops and businesses, this would add £1 million per month to our local economy. This small change in behaviour can make a big difference in supporting local businesses and jobs, and ensuring our high streets, shops and villages continue to offer us all great products and shopping experiences. The data behind this is on this website page https://www.southnorfolkandbroadland.gov.uk/communities/love-local-spend-localThe campaign includes:
· Opportunities to win a £50 voucher with a favourite independent business through regular social media prize draws during 2022
· Social media campaign offering inspiration on local businesses and local products
· Shops will be able to hand out free branded bags
· Branded posters for shops are due for circulation
There are four stages to the campaign:
Return to High Street safely Fund (RHSSF) CAMPAIGN STAGE finishing by 31 March1. Feb, March – your favourite local high street shop (Shop Local)
Broadland District and South Norfolk Councils funded CAMPAIGN STAGE
2. April, May, June – your favourite local independent business, with a Jubilee section (Business Local)
3. July, Aug, Sept – your favourite independent place to eat out (Eat Local)
4. Oct, Nov, Dec – your best local places for Christmas gifts and eating out (Christmas Local)
If you would like any campaign material or posters to share with your local businesses, or put up in public information boards, we can send them to you.

Big South Norfolk Litter Pick
As part of South Norfolk Council’s Big Litter Pick 2021 whereby local residents and
community groups have been asked to help keep their local area looking tidy, the ‘Wortwell Womblers’ group of volunteers took part in a litter pick in the village on the morning of 26 October.In 2019, local communities organised a record number of litter picks with just under 1,000 residents collecting nearly 2,000 bags of rubbish and recycling. South Norfolk Council Cabinet member, Keith Kiddie said: “This initiative gets bigger every year and it’s wonderful to see communities come together to help us look after our local environment.”
There are twenty £200 prizes up for grabs across South Norfolk but every group that takes part are a £20 voucher to spend on their local community.
Wortwell Parish Council would like to thank our lovely volunteers for giving their time
to help with the litter pick. -

safety at risk.Fortunately, there are a number of things you can do in advance to prepare for flooding and minimise the impact. Please refer to the flooding leaflet.
