Snettisham is a Key Rural Service Centre in the Local Plan. We have many services that other rural communities might envy, and a thriving network of organisations and clubs. If you run a group and would like us to include your details, please contact us by email.
To help keep the information on this page up to date, we have generally provided links direct to the providers’ websites, rather than individual documents. We have added a further page with information posters from third parties – see the extra tab in the “useful information” section. Please note this does not imply that we have direct knowledge of these organisations, or that we endorse them.
Who to contact:
Different authorities have different responsibilities, from potholes to street lights and so on – it helps to check so you go straight through to the right people Who does what.
