Call for local
NI tax break
A GREAT Yarmouth businessman
has called for an end to national
insurance tax break
“discrimination”.
James Wilhelmsen, joint owner of
Red Rocket Accident Repair Centre,
which opened in October said he was
getting little help from the
government.
Currently an HM Revenue and
Customs (HMRC) scheme offers
regional employers a deduction of
up to £5,000 per employee in the first
12 months of employing its first 10
employees, but this region misses
out because it is deemed an
“affluent” area.
He and co-director Terry Burrell
bought the business in October.
Business boost
DOZENS of firms from across the
world have expressed an interest in
doing business in Great Yarmouth
and Lowestoft on the back of plans to
create an enterprise zone.
Waveney and Great Yarmouth
councils – which are part of the
Norfolk and Suffolk Energy Alliance
(NSEA)– said more than 60
businesses had shown “substantive”
interest in the area with inquiries
coming from China, Korea and
Germany.

Building work to start on
£1.5m palliative centre
samuel.russell@archant.co.uk
By SAM RUSSELL
FAMILIES and friends who
know the anguish of terminal
illness have spent more than
half a decade fundraising for
a £1.5m day care centre for
their loved ones.
And now Palliative Care East’s
dream of a dedicated support centre
in the grounds of the James Paget
University Hospital is on the verge
of becoming a reality.
The campaign has raised more than
£1.35m to date, so the project has been
put out to tender and building work
is due to begin next month.
A building partner is expected to be
announced by the end of this month.
While fundraisers say they must
continue their efforts for the final
£150,000 push, they are delighted at
the rate of progress. Jenny Watson,
appeal co-ordinator, said: “It’s such
an exciting time for all involved
and thanks to their hard work and
commitment they can now begin to
see the fruits of their labour.
“For patients and families it’s
starting to become a reality and this
will make a huge difference to them
It will be somewhere they can come
that will be calm, away from a busy
hospital. They will have time and
space.”
The Palliative Care East Appeal was
launched in October 2006 with the
vision of providing better support
and information to people whose
lives are affected by cancer and other
life threatening illnesses.
More than £1m had been raised by
February 2010, and final plans for
a state-of-the-art care centre were
submitted in October last year.
Borough councillors approved the
plans last November, and now the
project is out to tender.
“We need to keep the fundraising
going right to the end of the build,”
added Mrs Watson. “We’re planning
some more big fundraising events.”
The 525sqm building follows
Macmillan Quality Environment
Mark standards and will provide
advice and clinical support for
patients and relatives.
There will be a meet and greet
atmosphere at the entrance instead
of a formal reception. An inner
garden is designed to be enjoyed
rather than act as a show garden, and
it is hoped it will become a wildlife
haven overnight.
The building’s interior layout will
consist of a main lounge, seating,
a children’s play area and both
counselling and multi-function rooms
for therapy. The counselling rooms
will offer privacy with screened
doors.

Funeral of Cecilia (Celia) Ebbage
THE funeral of Cecilia (Celia)
Ebbage,whodiedonDecember,
16 three days short of her
95th birthday, was held in St
Andrew’s Church, Gorleston,
on January 5.
Celia Ebbage, who was
possessed of a lively
intelligence and great acuity
of intellect, expressing her
views on local and historical
matters in many well-written
letters to this newspaper, was
a highly respected and much
loved Gorleston resident as
was attested by the size of the
congregation at her funeral.
Indeed, she has been described
as a Gorleston institution,
although she was born just off
the Old Kent Road in London.
The service was conducted
by the Rev Albert Cadmore
who thanked everybody, on
behalf of the family and
especially Celia’s brother
Stanley, for their support and
mutual comfort.
The Rev Cadmore paid
moving tribute to Celia and
said that thanks should be
offered for her life.
Churchwarden Brian
Humphrey read Psalm 23 and
Rev Cadmore read from the
Gospel of St John.
In his address, Rev Cadmore
spoke of Celia’s pleasure in
her maritime environment
when her father, who had
been a manager of London
Transport, moved the family
to Gorleston.
Celia was then aged about 11
and her younger brother was
not a year old.
Later, she worked as a
secretary and in an adjacent
office met her husband, an
accountant and gifted bird
and landscape painter, George
Ebbage, who she married in
1951.
Sadly, the blissfully happy
marriage was cut short in 1967
when George suddenly died.
During 44 years of
widowhood, Celia delighted
in books, art, music and
especially ballet, being
instrumental in setting up
the Kenneth MacMillan Fund
for Young Dancers, to help
aspiring young dancers.
Celia, a member of Toc H,
served voluntarily in the
canteen in Baker Street in
about 1941 and her parents
had Air Sea Rescue personnel
billeted upon them.
It was largely through
Celia’s efforts that a memorial
has been placed, in the garden
of the Cliff Hotel, to the RAF
officers who occupied the hotel
during the war years.
The vicar praised Celia’s
fortitude and strength for her
brother had told him of the
enormous support she had
always been to all the family.
Celia had drawn inspiration
from the endurance of sir
Ernest Shackleton.
The Vicar reflected that the
family had worshipped at St
Andrew’s for over 80 years.
Celia loved the church and,
in the ladies’ choir, formed in
1939, had sung solo parts.
The service included two
hymns, Love Divine, and
Praise my soul the King of
Heaven. The gifted organist,
whose choice of introits
and valedictory music was
appreciated, was John Farmer
of St Nicholas’ Minster
Church, Great Yarmouth.
The service was followed by
interment in Gorleston Old
Cemetery.

Grant boosts ceiling restoration
THE Lowestoft Civic Society
has been awarded a £49,900
grant to restore an historic
plaster ceiling.
TheHeritageLotteryfunding
is a major step forward for the
restoration of the 17th century
ceiling, rescued from a grade
II listed building in the village
of Stoven, but another £30,000
is still needed for the work to
go ahead.
Originally part of a
far mhouse that was
demolished in 1978, the ceiling
is linked to one at Sutherland
House hotel and restaurant,
in Southwold, which was the
headquarters of the Duke
of York when in 1672 he
commanded a Anglo-French
fleet in the Battle of Sole
Bay against the Dutch. The
Stoven ceiling is in 12 door-
sized pieces and was stored in
a garage before being held in
trust at the Lowestoft Heritage
Workshop Centre.
Once the £80,000 is secured
for the restoration, the
conservation work will be led
by Cliveden Conservation and
will involve Lowestoft College
staff and students.
A team of volunteers will
also record and document
the work and the public and
schools can see the restoration
process.
It is hoped the work will be
completed by July and the
ceiling will go on permanent
display at the Lowestoft
Heritage Workshop Centre in
the High Street.
Society chairman John
Stannard said: “It will enable
the people of Suffolk to
contribute directly to the
conservation of a fantastic
piece of their local heritage
and to get hands-on experience
of the restoration of this
ceiling to its former glory. This
is unique. There will never be
another time or chance to see
this taking place”.
Anyone who wants to
support the project should
call 01692 582632 or email stef.
g@care4free.net
Anyone interested in
seeing the restoration in
progress should visit www.
lowestoftheritage.org to
arrange an appointment.
Duo praised
for ‘fantastic’
fund-raising
WALKING TALL: Janet Ellis (second left) and Zoiyar Cole (second right) present a cheque
for £6,500 raised at the 2011 Lowestoft Moonlight Walk to Jenny Watson, of Palliative Care
East (far right). Also pictured is Emma Forsdike, of the Hotel Victoria in Lowestoft, which
acted as host venue for the event.
WHAT a fantastic effort!
That was the verdict on
the latest contribution by
Pakefield fundraising duo
Janet Ellis and Zoiyar Cole as
they handed over a cheque for
£6,700 to the Palliative Care
East (PCE) appeal.
The donation was the
result of the latest Lowestoft
Moonlight Walk in October
which saw nearly 140 people
– many of them in fancy dress
– joining the sponsored stroll
along the seafront.
For Janet and Zoiyar, who
organised the event for the
second year running, it was
the latest charity effort in
an 11-year fundraising drive
which has so far seen them
donate an amazing £276,896 to
good causes.
Janet, of Grand Avenue,
and Zoiyar, of Love Lane,
decided to team up and start
raising money after Zoiyar’s
son Paul died from cancer
aged 35 in 1999. Since then,
they have organised a host of
events for charities including
PCE, Macmillan, Marie
Curie, EACH and the Sandra
Chapman Centre at the James
Paget University Hospital.
Jenny Watson, PCE
fundraising co-ordinator,
said the latest donation was
“fantastic sum”.
She praised Janet and Zoiyar
for their efforts and added:
“Zoiyar and Janet and I would
like also to thank everyone
who took part in the Moonlight
Walk and helped to raise this
amount. There are still a few
people whose sponsorship
money is outstanding and
this can still be paid to either
Zoiyar or myself.”
Zoiyar can be contacted on
01502 513573 and Jenny can be

6,000 blades
handed in
MORE than 6,000 blades are to be
shredded and recycled following a
year-long campaign in Suffolk. The
Bin a Blade campaign was inspired
by anti-knife crime campaigner
Holly Watson – the sister of 23-year-
old murder victim Lewis, who was
killed in a knife attack in Sudbury in
2009. The amnesty was launched in
December 2010, with bins placed
outside main police stations across
the county, including Lowestoft,
where 1,784 were handed in, Ipswich
(2,084) and Bury St Edmunds (1,029
knives). A fourth bin was then added
at Mildenhall police station while
two mobile bins toured Suffolk’s
smaller police stations and other
locations, including Kessingland
Library at Marram Green.
InBrief
Hospital wards closed
after new bug outbreak
lucy.wright@archant.co.uk
By LUCY WRIGHT
THREE wards at the James
Paget University Hospital
have been forced to close after
an outbreak of norovirus.
The closures mean that patients
coming into A&E are facing longer
waiting times for assessment,
and some patients being admitted
to other wards are also being
delayed.
The hospital is urging anyone
who needs medical treatment for
minor injury and illness not to
automatically go to A&E but consider
other healthcare options.
Three wards are closed as a result
of the bug – also known as the winter
vomiting bug – and the number of
cases coming into the hospital has
increased in recent days.
A James Paget spokesman said:
“The seasonal increase in norovirus
and the closure of wards has added
to the pressures we are currently
facing.”
Some patients visiting the hospital
for elective surgery have also had to
have their treatment postponed.
Visitors are being asked to wash
their hands thoroughly with soap
and water when entering and leaving
a ward; to visit only one ward; not to
sit on the beds and not to eat or drink
while visiting a ward.
Anyone with symptoms of sickness
and diarrhoea are asked not to visit
the hospital at all until their illness
has passed.
Carole Crocker, director of nursing
at the James Paget, said: “It is
regrettable that some routine elective
surgery has again been affected
and we sincerely apologise for the
inconvenience this might cause for
some patients, especially those who
have had a previous cancellation.
“A high level of illness within the
local community has led to increased
demand on the hospital and some
patients have conditions which
require them to stay in hospital for
longer. This has led to a fall in the
number of discharges from the Trust
and placed extra demand on our
resources. We do not take the decision
to cancel surgery lightly, but the level
of demand has unfortunately led us
to take this step.”
The James Paget is not the only
hospital facing problems as a result
of norovirus. The Norfolk and
Norwich University Hospital has had
four wards closed to new admissions,
and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in
King’s Lynn has one ward closed and
one bay shut on another.
The West Suffolk Hospital in Bury
St Edmunds had several wards shut
earlier this month, but now has just
one bay in one ward affected by
norovirus.
If you feel you have to visit and
you have vomiting and diarrhoea,
contact the infection control team
on 01493 452836 and they will take
appropriate measures. If you are ill
at home with these symptoms and
require medical care, you should
contact your GP.
Big response to share-your-experience
AN invitation to patients to share
their experiences and help shape
the future standards of care at the
James Paget University Hospital
has prompted an overwhelming
response.
An appeal went out earlier this
month for people to attend a
series of ‘In Your Shoes’ meetings
where patients will have the
opportunity to meet nurses,
doctors, managers and other
healthcare staff and tell them face
to face about their own
experiences at the hospital. But
the sessions are now fully booked.
The meetings are part of an
initiative that aims to improve the
quality of patient care.
Kirk Lower, the James Paget’s
director of workforce and lead for
the project, said: “We are really
grateful for the response from
patients to this programme. This is
a genuine invitation to influence
the future of the care we provide
and the public have really engaged
with this opportunity.
“We sincerely hope people will
enjoy these sessions as we need
their help. We can only improve
and offer services the people we
serve want by listening and
learning to their views.”
Anyone wishing to share their
experiences can still have their
views included in the final report
by writing by the January 22 to:
Kirk Lower, Director of Workforce,
James Paget University Hospitals
NHS Foundation Trust, Lowestoft
Road, Gorleston NR31 6LA.
‘MEET AND GREET ATMOSPHERE’: A artist’s view of the interior of the new palliative care centre for people in
Great Yarmouth and Waveney.
Work starts soon on palliative care centre
PLANS to create a new £1.5m
palliative care centre for people in
Great Yarmouth and Waveney
moved a major step closer this
week with news that building work
is set to start next month.
The Palliative Care East appeal
has so far raised more than
£1.35m towards its goal of
building and equipping the new
centre in the grounds of the James
Paget University Hospital. When
complete, it will offer dedicated
day care support to people with
terminal illness and for their
families and loved ones.
As efforts continue to raise the
remaining £150,000 needed to
reach the appeal’s target, the
project has been put out to tender
and the successful building partner
is expected to be announced by
the end of this month.
Jenny Watson, appeal co-ordinator,
said: “It’s such an exciting time
for all involved and thanks to their
hard work and commitment they
can now begin to see the fruits of
their labour.
“For patients and families it’s
starting to become a reality and
this will make a huge difference to
them.
“It will be somewhere they can
come that will be calm, away from
a busy hospital.
“They won’t feel like they’re
rushed and they will have time and
space.”
The Palliative Care East Appeal
was launched in October 2006
with the vision of providing better
support and information to people
in Yarmouth and Waveney whose
lives are affected by cancer and
other life-threatening illnesses.
By February 2010, more than £1m
had been raised, including tens of
thousands of pounds raised in
Waveney.
Final plans for the new centre
were submitted last October and
approved by borough councillors in
November.
But Mrs Watson said the fund-
raising would continue until the
£1.5m target was hit. “We need to
keep the fund-raising going right to
the end of the build,” she added.
The 525 sq m centre will provide
advice and clinical support for
patients and relatives. It will have
a “meet and greet” atmosphere
at the entrance instead of a
formal reception in an effort to
remove barriers and make the
centre as homely and inviting as
possible.

project, call Jenny Watson on

hearing the disturbance. Police said
the suspect was arrested this week
and, after questioning, was released
on bail until February 8, pending
further inquiries. The employee who
was assaulted in the incident
suffered bruising to his face.

Top honour for
caravan park
A North Walsham caravan park
has been named as one of the top
holiday sites in the country.
Two Mills Touring Park scooped
an AA regional campsite of the
year award after impressing
inspectors with its landscaping,
hospitality and facilities.
But the award came as a
complete surprise to owners
Barbara and Ray Barnes who are
preparing for their ninth season at
the 81-pitch park in Yarmouth
Road.
Mrs Barnes said: “We knew we’d
made five stars but we weren’t
expecting the certificate.
“Over the years we have been
improving the park, at the
moment we’re refurbishing the old
shower block, so it’s very nice to
have it recognised.”
A cabaret show will be performed this
weekend in memory of a teenager
who died in a motorbike accident.
Tom Forman, 18, from Bluebell Close,
Watton, died on July 8 last year while
he was travelling towards Dereham
on the A1075 at Ovington, near
Watton.
Tom, pictured right, spent a short time
at Norwich City College before starting
work at his father’s business, PJ
Camping, in Daniels Road, Norwich.
Tom’s younger sister Ellie is a member
of the Stardance Company, based in
Thetford Road
Business Park,
Watton, which has
put together the
cabaret evening.
The family show
will take place at
Wayland
Community High
School, in Watton,
this Saturday from 6.30pm.
Emily Harper, 23, who lives off
Newmarket Road, Norwich, runs the
Stardance Company.
She said: “The show is about
celebrating Tom’s life.”
Miss Harper added that the cabaret
night was Ellie’s idea and the show
would be performed in the week of
Tom’s birthday.
She said that proceeds from the event
would go towards the Nelson’s
Journey charity, which supports
children and young people who have
experienced a close bereavement.
Tickets cost £10 for adults and £5
for children and can be bought from
Mike Harper Tax and Accountancy
Services, in Watton High Street, or by

Building work on the Palliative
Care East support centre and
outreach service at the James
Paget University Hospital in
Gorleston is soon to begin thanks
to the work of dedicated
fundraisers.
Tenders for the building work
closed last week, a main
contractor will soon be appointed,
and construction work on the £1.5
million centre will get under way
during March.
The Palliative Care East (PCE)
appeal was launched in 2006 and
the latest round of local
fundraising has brought the total
to within just £100,000 of its £1.5
million target.
The new information and
supportive care centre at the
is expected to open by Christmas
2012. It is estimated 10,000 people
a year will use the centre.
Peter Franzen, interim
chairman of the James Paget
University Hospital, said: “We are
indebted to all our donors and the
new service will play an important
role in many people’s lives over
the years to come. We are looking
forward to working with all our
partners to help provide a wide
range of information and support
services in a centre that will be fit
for the 21st century.”
The service will offer patients
and carers a one-stop-shop service
for information and supportive
services.
The centre will not have beds
but will offer a “home from home”
environment offering; access to
specialist palliative care support
and advice, counselling,
bereavement services,
complementary therapies, welfare
advice, and information about life-
limiting illnesses.
A campaign group in Hethersett is
holding two fundraising events
this month.
Hethersett Our Way, which has
been formed to oppose plans for
more than 1,000 new homes in the
village, has raised enough money
for a planning consultant’s report.
However, the group is continuing
to raise funds for representation
at a future planning committee
and will be coordinating a door to
door collection on Saturday,
February 18, followed by a quiz at
the village hall on Saturday,
February 25 from 7.30pm.

Parish council hits
out at homes planFears have been raised that a
village near Norwich will be
“clobbered” with over-
development under plans for 180
new homes in Mulbarton.
Parish councillors have raised
their concerns over the proposals
for a greenfield site on the edge of
the village, which they say will
exacerbate traffic problems and
overstretch local health services
and school places.
A parish council meeting will be
held at Mulbarton Village Hall
from 7pm on Monday to discuss
the proposals for land at Long
Lane by Welbeck Strategic Land.
And parish councillors say they
have so far had 100pc support from
local residents to a petition that
has been formed in opposition to
the scheme. It comes as South
Norfolk Council have extended the
public consultation deadline on
the outline planning application
until February 20.
However, Peter Leigh, chairman
of Mulbarton Parish Council, said
there was a feeling among some
villagers that the 180 home
development was already a “done
deal” because of a need to fill a
quota for thousands of new homes
in the district as set by the Greater
Norwich Development
Partnership’s Joint Core Strategy.
“There are areas we have
identified for small infill
developments and people in
general would be happy with that.
“To plonk another development
of this size is absolutely
ridiculous. We have been
clobbered over the years and
enough is enough. We have taken a
responsible attitude that we will
take some houses, but this is
totally disproportionate,” he said.
Objectors to the latest expansion
plans for Mulbarton say that Long
Lane is too narrow to
accommodate 180 homes and the
scheme is outside the development
boundary.

Challenging
times ahead
for new MD
Great Yarmouth-based family
business Palmers is embarking on
a new era. New managing director
David Howard, who officially
succeeds Bruce Sturrock today,
has spent all his working life with
family-owned independent retail
stores.
And he is relishing the
challenge as it celebrates its 175th
anniversary.
Palmers, which employs 300
people across five stores in
Yarmouth, Dereham, Lowestoft
and Bury St Edmunds, has a
turnover of about £15m a year. It
enjoyed a merry festive period
after seeing a 50pc rise in its
monthly sales figures after
launching a revamped website,
being managed by Mr Sturrock’s
daughter Emma.
“I like working for a family-
owned business, rather than a
large high-street chain,” Mr
Howard said. “It’s much more
relaxed and more productive. The
staff have more input and more
team-working.”
The 46-year-old joined Palmers
in June to work on the handover
with Mr Sturrock, who will
remain chairman. He said plans
included a refurbishment of the
first-floor furniture, beds and
linen department at Yarmouth
and a coffee shop facelift.
At the helm: David Howard.

Work on long-awaited £1.5m
centre set to start next month
By Samuel Russell
is estimated 10,000 people a year will use the
centre.
Back in 1998, Roberta Lovick, of Potter
Heigham, lost her 28-year-old daughter Louise
to breast cancer and was inspired to start raising
money for a supportive care centre for people in
In 2000 she launched the Louise Hamilton
Cancer Help Centre Trust, working with Dr
Patrick Blossfeldt at the James Paget, with the
goal of improving care and treatment of
patients, their carers and families whose lives
are affected by incurable diseases.
Roberta saw the latest plans for the new centre
last week.
“It was just so emotional seeing the designs
and realising it’s going to happen. It’s been
needed for so long and I’d like to thank people
from the bottom of my heart for donating and
helping make it happen,” she said.
The new centre is being designed by Norwich-
based LSI Architects who have designed the
central space as a dramatic curving shape
resembling a boat, a reminder of the scheme’s
seaside context and of the notion of an ‘ark’ as
a place of refuge.
The resource centre and outreach service is a
partnership between NHS Norfolk and Waveney,
local county councils and the voluntary sector
including funds from the Palliative Care East
appeal.
The service will offer patients and carers a
one-stop-shop service for information and
supportive services.
The centre will not have beds but will offer a
“home from home” environment offering access
to specialist palliative care support and advice,
counselling, bereavement services,
complementary therapies, welfare advice and
information about life-limiting illnesses.
IMPRESSION: How part of the new
Palliative Care East Centre may look.
Families who have lost loved ones to terminal
illness say the soon-to-be-built Palliative Care
East Centre will make a huge difference to the
region.
Tenders for building work on the support
centre closed last week, a main contractor will
soon be appointed and construction work on the
£1.5m centre will get under way next month.
The Palliative Care East (PCE) appeal was
launched in 2006 and the latest round of local
fundraising has brought the total to within just
£100,000 of its £1.5 million target.

Cheque out these
super fundraisers
By SAM RUSSELL
HANDOVER: Lions president Denise Freeman presents a cheque to John
Hemming, chairman of the Palliative Care East Appeal.
KIND-HEARTED fundraisers have
brought the Palliative Care East
appeal another step closer to its
£1.5m goal.
Great Yarmouth Lions Club presented
John Hemming, chairman of the
Palliative Care East Appeal, with a £3,200
cheque at the Lion Club meeting held at
the Imperial Hotel.
Lion president Denise Freeman said
that hopefully there will be some more
fundraising before her year as president
finishes in May.
Meanwhile Bungay Inner Wheel Club
raised £450 at a Ploughman’s Lunch on
December 1, boosting the fund to build
a new care centre by the James Paget
University Hospital.
And club members Jennie Cundy and
Pat Tyacke have since presented the
cheque to palliative care locum consultant
Dr Bernadette Auger.
The centre is due to be open by December
this year, but the £1.5m target has not
quite been reached.
With a further £100,000 still needed, a
charity coastal walk from Winterton to
Southwold has been arranged.
The fundraiser on Saturday, May 5 will
cover the coastal perimeter of the JPUH.
It is being divided into three routes, but
the super fit can complete the whole 32
miles.
The three sections of the walk
are Winterton to Great Yarmouth,
Yarmouth to Lowestoft, and Lowestoft to
Southwold.
People are asked to take part in either
a 10 mile stretch or for the very fit, the
whole 32 miles.
Appeal organisers have thanked the
generosity of the public for helping raise
£1.4m so far.

Care East on 01493 453348.

Public to suggest name for new centre
LOCAL people are being called on to
suggest names for the new Palliative
Care East centre building.
The centre will have information and
supportive care services provided by a
wide range of organisations working in
partnership: from the NHS, to cancer
charities, patient support groups, and
bereavement groups.
Organisers are looking for a name that
will sum up what the centre is about and
will be easy to remember.
Suggestions to date include The
Ark, The Haven, The Butterfly Centre,
and The Sanctuary.
But what name do you think the centre
should have?
A panel of nurses, doctors, patient
representatives, and the editor of the
Mercury, will select the winner from a
shortlist.
Public donations have raised almost
£1.5m for the Palliative Care East centre.
Building works starts on a site at
the James Paget University Hospital
next month and is expected to open by
Christmas.
It is estimated 10,000 people a year will
use it.
The Palliative Care East appeal was
launched in 2006 and the centre will
provide Great Yarmouth and Waveney
with a stunning information and
supportive care centre that will help
people with life-limiting illnesses such
as cancers, chest, neurological, and
heart failure diseases.
The closing date for suggestions is
Friday, March 23. To make a suggestion

Roadworks
meeting to be
held in town
BUNGAY
Concerns over traffic levels
with new one-way system
Campaigners against a proposed one-
way scheme in Bungay say traffic
problems will be made worse when
the system is introduced.
Craig Trickett, who owns butchers
Bairds Of Bungay, said there were
problems this week when a lorry was
unable to pass a delivery truck and
said this will become a more common
sight in the future.
He said the queue of traffic that
formed in both directions in Upper
Olland Street was 45 minutes long
and felt that the situation would
happen three to four times a day
when the new system was
introduced.
However, town mayor Terry Reeve
responded to further criticisms of
the much debated scheme by saying
that it was aimed at alleviating some
of the problems currently faced on
the town’s roads, rather than making
them worse.
The proposed system will see traffic
sent north along St Mary’s Street and
Lower Olland Street and south along
Trinity Street and Wharton Street.
Last month, Suffolk County Council
backed the scheme, which is part of
wider proposals to improve the town
that include creating new paths in
Lower Olland Street and wider ones
in St Mary’s Street.
It is likely to be introduced in July
for a trial period of at least six months
after an independent study is
completed into the suitability of
Trinity Street to be used in the one-
way system.
Shop owners and businesses in
Lowestoft have been invited to meet
with bosses from Anglian Water to
discuss the controversial Station
Square roadworks.
Waveney MP Peter Aldous has set
up a meeting with the water company
at his constituency office in Surrey
Street on Friday, April 27.
The meeting has been called after
the town faced six weeks of traffic
disruption as Anglian Water blocked
off part of Station Square to carry
out £130,000 of repairs to a broken
sewer.
In an email to businesses and
business representatives, Mr Aldous’s
office says: “You are welcome to come
along to talk to them (Anglian Water)
about the recent traffic problems
experienced.”
Mr Aldous said: “I think we would
like to understand what went wrong
and see if lessons can be learned from
it.”
The roadworks which started on
January 23 were originally scheduled
to last five weeks; they finally finished
on Friday, March 2. They finished late
due to a delay in installing a new
sewer lining.
Shop owners say the works caused a
slump in trade as people were put off
from coming into the town.
There was also anger as Anglian
Water did not inform Waveney
District Council it would be carrying
out the work.

No huge outlay or
years to recover that outlay.
Air Leakage Testing (heat loss) has been compulsory
on new housing since 2006.
Research and Tests carried out on property with
similar test results, confirm heat saving of between
31 to 35% reduction in heat loss.
Air Leakage Testing will define areas where heat is
escaping through small areas but added together
these small leaks can be equivalent to the size of an
open window day and night, while your heating
system tries to compensate.
Thermal Imaging will define areas of loss through
the fabric of your property. Are your walls and loft
insulated adequately or is it poorly installed? Is your
double glazing doing what it should do, is that
poorly installed?
Air Leakage and Thermal Imaging Test packages with verbal
report start from £150 + VAT through to full written reports
with rectification advice and costs or full energy auditing.
All tests can be carried out with no interruption to the occupier; you can be in the
property while tests are completed. Do not be put off by thinking that rectifying these
problems will cost thousands of pounds. In many cases, to bring older style properties in
line with current legislation would take around 2 hours and minimal materials. All the
above would go undetected in a normal building survey. Discounts apply for group orders.
Attention Plumbing and
Heating Engineers!
Save time finding under floor
leaks. Thermal Imaging is a quick
and effective way to find those
problems. We can take a thermal
photograph and quickly identify
leaks/escaping hot or cold water.

InBrief
£4m hospice will offer
tranquil, caring retreat
By SAM RUSSELL
PLANS for a new £4m hospice
to provide better end-of-life
care for people in Waveney
and Great Yarmouth have
been officially lodged – with
hopes high that approval will
be granted by May.
The proposed 10-bedroom East
Coast Hospice (ECH) will stand in
five acres of landscaped grounds at
Gorleston, offering a tranquil retreat
for people with cancer and other life-
limiting illnesses.
At present, Great Yarmouth and
Waveney is one of just two areas in
the country without hospice beds.
But when the cash is raised to
build the new hospice, it will offer 10
bedrooms, each with a private garden
and fold-out beds where people
can stay with loved ones and share
precious final time together.
Day care and respite support for
carers is also planned in the state-
of-the-art building, which award-
winning architect Henry Kelf hopes
will be “more like a hotel or country
house than a medical institution”.
David Nettleship, chairman of the
ECH trustees, said the independent
charitable hospice – to be built on
land off the A12 next to Beacon Park
– was a response to the desperate
need to widen the choice in end-of-
life care in the area. “There are too
many gaps,” he said. “The choice
people have now is to die at home or
in hospital.
“Many people would choose to
die at home and would never need
a hospice but, for some, a hospice
would be their choice and it will be
there if people need it – if it gets too
much to bear at home.”
A specialist eight to 10-bed unit was
a recommendation for Waveney and
YarmouthinMarieCurie’sDelivering
Choice report. And the challenge the
communities now face is raising the
£4m to build the hospice and to find
a way of meeting its £1.8m-a- year
running costs.
“It is difficult to get across to people
how different a hospice is to other
health care establishments,” said Mr
Nettleship. “This hospice is based
on need. The urban areas of Great
Yarmouth and Waveney are areas of
deprivation which means the need
for a hospice is greater.”
Hospice facilities will include a day
care area, quiet rooms, a hairdressing
room, lounges, a garden room, a
domestic kitchen to show people
techniquestomakelifeathomeeasier,
a sanctuary for quiet contemplation
and assisted spa baths.
As well as conventional
medicine and care, the hospice would
provide a full range of alternative
therapies.
The red brick hospice with cedar
cladding, topped with a curved dark
grey zinc roof, would also provide
respite care and a 24-hour helpline.
Full plans have been submitted to
Great Yarmouth Borough Council
and trustees hope to have planning
permission by May. They also hope
the detailed plans will encourage
people to fund-raise and donate to
the hospice.
To raise the money, the trustees
are investigating different funding
streams, as well as local fund-raising
andtherevenuefromthecharity’sfive
shops in Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth,
Gorleston, and Bungay.

Nurses again feel pride in their hospital
NURSES at the James Paget
University Hospital are feeling
“pride” again in their work as they
help the site recover from a series of
critical inspection governors have
been told..
The governors council have been
given an update on how the hospital
was addressing concerns raised by
the Care Quality Commission(CQC).
The 30 governors heard last
Friday that the JPH’s medicine
management was an area of major
concern for the CQC while its
care and welfare provision was of
moderate concern and its use of
records and documentation was of
modest concern.
But the governors and senior
hospital bosses heard the CQC was
due to report in the next month on
improvements it has seen in care
and welfare provision and records
and documentation thanks to a raft
of measures introduced by the JPH.
Measures, which are also tackling
the medicine management, include
ward risk assessments, a medicine
management group, a weekly trust
wide review of documentation,
new medicine charts and improved
training for staff who prescribe
medicines and registered nurses
who administer it.
The governors also heard three
senior nurses had been given the
sole role of carrying out a wide
ranging audit involving the privacy
and dignity of patients, their care
and welfare, patient meals, medicine
management and staffing.
As result of the work to overcome
the faults highlighted in the CQC
inspections Julia Hunt, chief
matron, said it had boosted morale
of nurses.
She said: “The element of pride
is returning. They are seeing the
results of the outcome of their
efforts.”
The meeting also heard that
concernsoverthequalityof patients’
meals were being addressed with
governor John Pope saying he was
very impressed with the roles of
meal time co-ordinators.
Another measure being introduced
will see patients asked for their
views on the JPH when they are
discharged.
More than 80 patients took part
with more than 40pc of comments
being about positive experiences at
the JPH with the remainder focusing
on negative experiences and areas
of improvement. About 800 staff
and governers also took part in the
consultation.
A recent survey also showed the
JPH receives 368 compliments a
week across the organisational
board.

T H E t u r f - c u t t i n g
ceremony whichheralds
the start of construction
of the £1.5m Palliative
Care East centre, has
been announced.
Suffolk-based ISG, the
contractor, began preliminary
work on site last week with the
building due to be completed
in December 2012.
And the turf cutting
ceremony is to take place on
Wednesday, April 4, at around
midday.
The Palliative Care East
(PCE) appeal was launched
in 2006 with the aim of
establishing an information
centre that will help people
with incurable illnesses
such as cancer, respiratory,
neurological, and cardiac
diseases.
And Yarmouth’s MP
Brandon Lewis has expressed
his excitement about the
progress being made.
“The centre is a tribute to
the power of the people of
Great Yarmouth,” he said.
“By coming together our
community has managed to
generate a huge amount of
money and support to create
this fantastic asset.
“I am delighted that after
many years the fund has been
successful and I am sure that
it will help support vulnerable
people for years to come.”
There is still work to be
done before the total £1.5m
is raised, and fundraisers
are continuing to put in the
hours.
Sophie Radcliffe, 21, raised
cash for the appeal at her
21st birthday party instead of
receiving gifts.
Her mother Jill and other
family presented a cheque
for £200 to the Palliative Care
Team.
These monies were raised
at the celebrations of Mrs
Radcliffe’s daughter Sophie
21st birthday party.
And further events are
planned to help raise funds
for the appeal.
On Friday, March 30 there
will be a charity auction
supporting local cancer
charities.

CARE BEDS
ON THE WAYrichard.wood@archant.co.uk
By RICHARD WOOD
THE first palliative care
hospice beds in Waveney will
be available from Sunday.
The three beds will be at All Hallows
Hospital, Ditchingham, and will be
made available for patients living with
a progressive illness such as heart
failure, kidney disease and cancer.
The move follows an agreement
between the hospital and the Ipswich-
based St Elizabeth Hospice.
It has been made possible after NHS
Norfolk and Waveney and HealthEast
CIC, the new clinical commissioning
group for Great Yarmouth and
Waveney, commissioned two of the
hospital’s in-patient beds for two years
as part of the Marie Curie Delivering
Choice programme.
St Elizabeth Hospice, which merged
with Waveney Hospice Care last year,
is directly providing a third bed in
conjunction with All Hallows Hospital,
with the hospice investing £2.2m in the
Waveney and Great Yarmouth area in
the next three years.
This will allow the charity, which
already provides day services at
Beccles Hospital on a Thursday, to
also offer services at All Hallows
on Mondays as well as services
at Crossroads Care Waveney in
Lowestoft and at Cutlers Hill Surgery
in Halesworth. Further day services
are planned for Great Yarmouth later
this year.
Palliative Care in the Waveney and
Great Yarmouth area is set to improve
dramatically in the coming months.
Last week work began on the new
£1.5m Palliative Care East centre
University Hospital in Gorleston.
The centre will provide a range
of day care facilities, information,
and supportive care provided by a
variety of organisations working in
partnership with the NHS.
It has been supported by an appeal
which saw many individuals and
organisations contribute since it was
launched in 2006.
The East Coast Hospice Appeal is
working to bring 10 hospice beds to
the area and hopes to have plans for a
10-bed hospice in Gorleston approved
by May.

All Hallows hosts
care bedsDITCHINGHAM will be home
to the first palliative care
hospice beds in the Waveney
and Great Yarmouth area
after a collaboration between
All Hallows Hospital and St
Elizabeth Hospice.
There are to be three beds made
available for patients living with a
progressive illness, such as heart
failure, kidney disease and cancer,
after the agreement between the
hospital and charity.
Waveney and Great Yarmouth
was one of the areas in the country
withouthospicebeds,butonSunday
this will change as the beds are
made available for the first time.
They have been made possible
after NHS Norfolk and Waveney
and HealthEast CIC, the new
clinical commissioning group for
Great Yarmouth and Waveney,
commissioned two of the hospital’s
inpatient beds for two years as
part of the Marie Curie Delivering
Choice programme.
St Elizabeth Hospice, which
merged with Waveney Hospice
Care last year, is directly providing
a third bed in conjunction with All
Hallows Hospital, with the hospice

This will allow the charity, which

at Crossroads Care Waveney, in
Lowestoft, on Tuesdays, and an
outpatient’s clinic at Cutlers Hill
surgery, Halesworth, on Fridays.
Further day services are also
planned for Great Yarmouth in
September.
St Elizabeth Hospice’s chief
executive Jane Petit said: “We
are delighted to announce the
introductionof StElizabethHospice
services at these new locations.
Our work is centred around an
individual’s needs and our aim is to
provide specialist support wherever
it is required. There is a great need
for hospice services in this area
and patients and their families
will be able to start benefiting
immediately.”
Chief executive Clair Westwood-
Deamer said: “We are delighted
to be working with St Elizabeth’s
Hospice for the benefit of our
patients, continuing to provide
seamless healthcare services to
Bungay and surrounding areas.
“Working with St Elizabeth’s
will enable us to provide specialist
palliative care services in
partnership with this charity.”
The beds will be provided in the
Gainsborough Suite, which was
recently developed after money
raised by the Friends of All Hallows
Hospital.
John Randle, chairman of
All Hallows Healthcare Trust,
said: “The Trustees are very
pleased to be able to extend the
range of All Hallows services in
conjunction with St Elizabeth’s
and thus build upon our other
work with the NHS towards a
comprehensive role in palliative
care in the area.”
The East Coast Hospice appeal
has also been working to bring
hospice beds to Waveney and Great
Yarmouth. They hope to have their
plans to build a 10-bedroom hospice
in Gorleston approved by May.
St Elizabeth Hospice currently
has an 18-bed inpatient unit and
day unit in Ipswich as well as
outpatients and Hospice at Home
services.
