Woodbastwick Parish Council
The Parish Council works with residents and other authorities to benefit the communities of Panxworth, Ranworth and Woodbastwick. We press for highways and environmental improvements and are consulted on all planning applications.
We strive for good working relationships with both Broadland and County Councillors and aim to develop better working relationships with the Broads Authority and Highways Department. Residents may report any defects with signs, potholes, overgrown hedges or any other traffic or highway issues direct to Norfolk County Council via Report a problem – Norfolk County Council or to us for us to follow up.
