From the police:
You may have seen on our social media warnings around scams and frauds where victims are cold-called via the telephone by fraudsters purporting to be Police Officers/Detectives from London Police Stations. While there are some variations, the general theme of the scam is that the caller tells the victim that they have someone in custody who appears to be in possession of a cloned bank card belonging to the victim. The victim is asked to provide their bank account or card details to verify. Another theme is that the police are investigating a fraud involving banks and the victim is asked to withdraw cash to assist with this investigation which will be collected from the home address of the victim by a courier or if the victim advises that they can’t get to a bank the fraudster may arrange for a taxi to collect the victim and take them to the bank.
All of these scenarios are scams designed to con vulnerable members of our society out of hard earned savings, sometimes several thousand pounds. Fortunately, in Broadland although we have been aware of attempts of this type of fraud very few people have actually handed over any money. This is largely due to the sharing of information and warnings distributed by Police via our social media platforms and key community contacts such as yourselves. These scams generally target a specific area before moving on but they invariably return several weeks later. We are aware of incidents in the South Norfolk, Breckland and Kings Lynn areas and in an effort to safeguard Broadland Communities I would be very grateful if you could distribute and display the attached leaflet/posters and general message that:
Police will NEVER call and ask for your bank account details, bank card or credit card details or ask you to withdraw cash to hand over to couriers. If you get a call like this hang up and report it to Police.
Our mobile libraries have now restarted. We have updated some routes – please see the information below for more details on specific routes. Please note the libraries will not visit playgroups and nursing homes yet.
Please read the following guidelines before visiting the mobile library.
We look forward to welcoming you back on board. Please bear with us if we run a little late due to limiting the number of people on the mobile library through the day.

Acle Library Opening hours
Our opening hours are changing slightly from 14 September:

We reopened on the 7 July but the ways and times our customers are using libraries have changed and by making these slight adjustments we can enable more Norfolk libraries to reopen. We need to be able to release staff across the county to work in other libraries in a Covid-safe way. As a service we are working hard to make the best use of our resources to meet customer’ needs
Acle Library has reopened and we have enjoyed welcoming many of you back.
