Tree Planting

At their meeting on 8th January 2020, councillors agreed to the planting of a hedgerow on the southern boundary of the allotments, using trees provided by the Woodland Trust. This is part of an initiative by the Woodland Trust to help counter the loss of natural habitats for wildlife that have been lost on an unprecedented scale since the 1970s.

Community Speed Watch Proposal

Rumburgh Parish Council are considering establishing a village Community Speed Watch scheme that will co-ordinate equipment and existing efforts with other local schemes already in operation.

It would be useful to establish:

1. How much of an issue speeding traffic in Rumburgh is considered to be.

2. Specific sections of road in the village where traffic speed is considered to be a nuisance or dangerous.

3. Whether anyone has an interest in being actively involved in the scheme.

Philip Cockburn has offered to be the co-ordinator, gather information and interest and provide updates on progress and statistics. He can be contacted either by e-mail at phil@katemawdsley.com or by phone 01986 785444.

For more details of the scheme and how it works, see the Suffolk Community Speed Watch leaflet.
