NEW BUCKENHAM

New Buckenham has a defibrillator.

NBPC led by Karen Hobley is pleased to have supported villager requests for the installation of a defibrillator. Funded mainly by a grant from County Broadband, it is located on the side wall of The Kings Head. A big thank you to Simon for supporting the project.

The defibrillator is registered on the national defibrillator network and connected to East of England Ambulance Service 

Several village volunteer's will regularly check to ensure that the defibrillator battery is working, the pads are in date and it’s displaying a “ready” sign.

In an emergency, immediately call 999. The call handlers will provide the code and talk you through the process until the ambulance arrives. The defibrillator itself will also talk you through the process of using it.

Please contact Karen Hobley if you have any questions or require further information

The Cemetery

New Buckenham Cemetery currently has a very limited number of plots available, a situation which is being faced by a number of other councils.

As a Parish Council, we wish to ensure that current and past residents of New Buckenham are able to choose New Buckenham as their final resting place. For this reason, your Parish Council is preparing to apply to the Norwich Diocese to reuse plots in the graveyard which were used more than 85 years ago and which currently have no evidence of “tending” taking place and no evidence of headstones or grave markings. These plots are immediately on the right as you enter the Cemetery from Moat Lane.

The Clerk has the names and burial dates of all graves that are to be proposed for reuse.

Should you wish to express your views or require any further information, please contact your Parish Clerk by email at parishclerk@newbuckenham.net / 01953887830
