The Mayor on local conservation activities.
The Mayor of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, Councillor Andy Bullen, was the guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of King’s Lynn, held at its new regular venue, the Crown and Mitre in Ferry Street. Andy spoke passionately about measures to protect wild life in West Norfolk and especially ones to halt the decline in certain bird and bat species because of the loss of nesting sites. He spoke about the provision of bird and bat boxes in cemeteries and buildings, the addition of swift bricks in houses by certain builders and the expansion of wild gardens and areas of open space.
The Mayor was presented with two cheques each for £250; the first for the RNLI which his mother, the late Margaret Bullen had supported over many years; and the second for the Swan Project a charity which offers long-term counselling to those with active addiction to drugs or people in recovery.
