December 2019
Mary Ash & Cavan Stewart
The Friends of Kett's Heights were delighted to receive a commendation in the Community category of the Norfolk Design and Craftsmanship Awards 2019. We were runners up to award-winning social housing, Goldsmith Street, so it was a bit of a David and Goliath situation, and Goliath won on this occasion - and deservedly so.
Successful grant bid
As many residents will be aware the gas holders on Gas Hill have been undergoing demolition over the past year. That work is nearing completion but from the outset National Grid made it clear that they wanted to work with the community to minimise disruption and provide reassurances regarding safety. As a community based group we learned that National Grid also made grants available in areas where their work took place and we were encouraged to apply. This seemed like a good opportunity, and we put together a bid for £5000 to cover the cost of tree work at Kett’s Heights. This work will focus on trees that are causing structural damage to the Victorian terrace walls at many points across the site. In addition we have also identified a small number of trees that are reducing the panoramic visibility at the view-point. The majority of trees that are to be cut down are Sycamore and dead or dying Elm. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Coronavirus update:-
Following Government guidance on reducing social contact, we are suspending our events programme for the next few months. This means that we will not be providing our usual free monthly tours but people are being encouraged to download our self-guided tours linked from this page. We feel that a quiet walk round Kett’s Heights will lift the spirits.
Note: Shardlake Tours operated by Paul Dickson will recommence in July and will be limited to small groups. Social distancing will be in place. Book early to avoid disappointment. See our Future Events page for up to date details.
