This is an invitation to all residents of Necton. Come along to your Annual Parish Meeting, an opportunity to raise issues of your concern, make suggestions for enhancing the quality of life in the village or simply to find out what is going on within the village groups and clubs.

We have just installed a new link on our homepage to the Police Crime Map for Swaffham. You will find the link on the righthand side of the page, below links to Local Government websites.
Follow the link to bring you to an interactive map of the local area, which will list the recorded crimes and details of their progression.
Our Parish Council has a representative on the local Swaffham SNAP group, who meet regularly to discuss crime trends, hotspots and interventions in the area. If you have any concern or matter you would like raised in this forum, please contact us.
If you have been a victim or witness of crime in our village, do contact the police on 101 for non-emergency matters or 999 for real time emergencies. Reporting, even after the event on 101 is worth doing as it may help an on-going investigation or stop further crime.
