WELCOME TO TRIMINGHAM PARISH COUNCIL
Trimingham is a quiet village approximately 5 miles from Cromer on the north east Norfolk coast.
​​
Trimingham has a new village hall, located on Cromer Road, which is used regularly for various events, activities and can be hired out - please see 'Trimingham Hall' tab for info and contact details. The village also still has the old village hall, now called the 'Pilgrim Shelter' which is an interesting building in itself and is also available for hire.
​
In the past many people would recognise Trimingham when they saw the 'golf ball' - more officially, the air defence radar satellite station associated with RRH Neatishead. This has now been removed.
​​​
The parish occupies 0.9 square miles and is part of the Coast ward of North Norfolk District Council, and the Mundesley county division. The District Councillor is Angie Fitch-Tillett and the County Councillor is Ed Maxfield.
​
Trimingham Parish Council consists of 7 elected representatives who look after the general running of the parish. They meet six times per year to discuss issues and address any concerns parishioners may raise.

On October 4th members of the Parish Council met with Tim Adams (NNDC Leader), Kevin Allen and Phil Reilly (Highways) and Ed Maxfield (County Councillor), when it was confirmed there will be alterations to the speed limits through our village. Highways agreed there is a definite cause for a 20mph limit near the church where there will also be a marked area as an implied footway for pedestrians. The current 30mph limit will be extended at both ends of the village and will include Middle Street and Church Road. The Parish Council will have to contribute towards the cost.
The application for both of these speed limits will be applied for together - it is quicker and cheaper. To help speed up the process, we are asking as many local people as possible to email the Parish Council in support of this scheme which the leader of NNDC and the Highways Dept informed us will be carried out next year.
Please email your support to: clerktrimingham@gmail.com explaining why you feel the proposed speed limits are needed. Thank you.

Anyone wishing to visit a Norfolk recycling centre from Monday 18 November 2024, must book in advance. Bookings can be made up to seven days ahead either online via the North Norfolk District Council's website, or by phoning the customer service centre. The new booking system will be live from Monday 11 November.
Slots are available every fifteen minutes and you will be able to make a booking or cancel one right up until the time of the booking. You will be asked to give the registration number of the vehicle you will be using on the day. Business and trade waste customers will also be asked to provide their waste carriers licence number.
Everyone has to book to drop off waste at the recycling centre, including those arriving on foot or by bicycle. You do not have to book if you only want to visit the Re-use Shop, but if you also want to leave waste in the same visit, you will still need to book ahead.

Norfolk County Council’s Highways Dept. has arranged for a temporary overlay material to remove the depression on the main coast road near the old School House in the village. Please be aware this is only a temporary measure and Highways will return to the site to undertake a permanent repair as soon as the scaffolding on a nearby property has been removed and sufficient road space becomes available. Please drive with care through our village and adhere to the speed limits, as there are several local elderly pedestrians who use the road. Thank you for your understanding.
