Love West Norfolk Day returns on 14 February and people are being asked to highlight why they’re proud to live, work or visit here. Also, what their favourite spot is and why.
The sixth Love West Norfolk Day will provide an opportunity to highlight online the natural beauty of West Norfolk as the theme remains celebrating and protecting our beautiful west Norfolk environment.
Cllr Sam Sandell, Cabinet member for People and Communities, said:
“We’re giving residents and the many people who visit here the opportunity to put a spotlight on what they love about our beautiful part of the world by keeping the green Love West Norfolk theme this year.
“I hope to see people, organisations and businesses get involved online on 14 February by showcasing the best of our area, the need to protect it and what makes it so special. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #LoveWestNorfolk.”
What’s your favourite spot in West Norfolk and why do you love it?
It could be a green space, garden, walk, sunrise or more. This Love West Norfolk Day, people are being invited to share their images of beautiful west Norfolk scenery and to tell us about it through social media channels. It is your chance to showcase our area to the rest of the world.
King’s Lynn Park Run participants will show their support with their #lovewestnorfolk park run on Saturday 12 February. Judith Berry, one of the Park Run Directors, said:
“Over 200 people come to the Walks to take part in the weekly event, we certainly appreciate the green space we have here in town.”
Pictures of the runners will be included on Love West Norfolk social channels.
People can also join in by taking ‘one step’ towards protecting their local environment, such as by picking up one piece of litter. And, anyone wishing to organise a community litter pick on Love West Norfolk day can – subject to availability – access Love West Norfolk litter pick kits from the borough council.
It is be hoped that once again social media will be filled with the #lovewestnorfolk hashtag on Love West Norfolk day as people join in the celebration and share pictures and comments. Organisers are keen to hear from both individuals and organisations who also may wish to highlight why where we live is so special.
A Love West Norfolk day engagement pack is available online with all the ways that people can join in with this year’s Love West Norfolk Day.
The Love West Norfolk campaign is organised by the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk and is supported by other local organisations.
