Norwich City Council has activated SWEP as part of ongoing efforts to support vulnerable people sleeping rough. Pathways Outreach teams, alongside colleagues from Norwich City Council, continue to respond to individuals requiring assistance and are distributing packs containing essential supplies to help people stay safe during the hot weather. We will continue to monitor temperatures and review the SWEP activation.

Did somebody say...SPLASH PAD?!! 🥳💦

It’s officially open! With sunny weather on the way for half term, there’s no better time for outdoor fun. Norwich families can now enjoy splashing, spraying and jumping around at the brand‑new and improved splash pad in Waterloo Park - ready for plenty of high‑energy fun. 🌞

The refreshed splash pad brings a bright, modern space for children to play, explore and cool off - right in the heart of the city.

What’s new?

✅ Inclusive and accessible water play features
✅ Water-efficient technology, helping reduce consumption and saving an estimated £10,000–£12,000 each year
✅ A vibrant new design that complements the recently upgraded play area

Designed for everyone:

• Bright colours to support visually impaired users
• High-contrast buttons and water jets
• Large, easy-to-use floor-mounted activation buttons with light-touch sensitivity
• No standing water for added safety
• A mix of gentle and more playful jets—perfect for toddlers and less confident children
• Fully accessible for children of all abilities

We can’t wait to see families enjoying this fantastic new addition - come along, cool off, and make a splash this half term at Waterloo Park! 💙

Calling all landlords 👋

With the Renters’ Rights Act bringing significant changes to the private rented sector, we’re heading to the Eastern Landlords’ Association Conference on 22 May to connect with landlords and discuss what this means for you.

The conference is a great opportunity to ask questions, share concerns and explore practical ways to stay compliant while continuing to let with confidence.
If you’re attending, we’d love to chat.
