Different book packs are available for older babies and for toddlers aged three to four years. The website
www.bookstart.org.uk gives more information. The mother and baby group meets at Diss Library at 10.30 am during term time.
A renewable energy air source heat pump keeps the energy bills low while providing underfloor heating and plenty of hot water.
The house looks like an ordinary semi-detached but, because it arrived on site as whole wall panels with doors and windows already installed, the main structure took only three days to put up.
I congratulate Saffron Housing on their forward thinking and hope that this house is the first of many such eco homes in the area.

Last week I met
with Diss First
Responders at
their monthly
training
meeting, held at
Bressingham
Steam Museum.
First Responders are a group of volunteers who respond to emergency calls on behalf of the East of England ambulance service, in the community where they either live or work. Diss branch is one of 53 such groups in Norfolk. |

England Ambulance Service. |
The ambulance service gives volunteers first aid training covering basic life support, the use of a defibrillator and oxygen. Then, working on a rota basis, volunteers are notified of an emergency by ambulance control via a mobile phone. First Responders usually arrive before the ambulance and the prompt medical attention they offer can often saves lives.
If you would like to
find out more about

dedicated group of
volunteers, email
