….the current casualty position….

This has been a challenging year of mixed results, during which we have seen new staff join us and established colleagues leave. Both of these elements have had an effect on our figures, with some schemes of work showing delivery reductions.

Norfolk is still a safe place in which to travel, but as you can see, we are starting to lose ground on previous successes.

Over the coming months we will need to build upon our strengths, whilst becoming more flexible and responsive to specific needs within the communities.

We still have a lot of work to do, by maintaining our excellentrelationships with partners and communities we will carry on providing the best possible service to the people of Norfolk.
