Projects
The Parish Council support a number of projects, activities and groups within the village so watch this space for further updates and additions. Current activity includes:
Mural Project - Award winning Mural artist Sarah Gillings has contacted the Parish Council to offer her services free of charge to paint a mural on the toilets at Winterton. The mural idea is for it to depict the amazing landscape and wildlife we have on the Dunes. There be further opportunities for all villagers to see and have an input into the designs. Council have given huge thanks to Sarah for the amazing offer and to Yarmouth Borough Council for giving it the go ahead.
What would you like to see the mural to convey? Please contact Cllr Emma Punchard cllrpunchard@gmail.com to share your thoughts.
Further updates can be found on the Mural Project page on this site.
