PROBLEM STREET PARKINGAT THE WHITE HORSE PUB

The Parish Council has done all that they can to putpressure on the Police and Suffolk County CouncilHighways Dept. regarding the dangerous parking upto the junction on Low Street outside the Pub.

The Parish Council arranged and met with Suffolk County CouncilHighways for a site meeting. The Parish Council has no powers to doworks on the Highway, the only authority that is able to is Suffolk CountyCouncil. Following the meeting, Suffolk County Council confirmed thatthey could not introduce double yellow lines as they have no funds to doso. This is the result of cuts to their budgets in line with centralgovernment austerity measures.

Suffolk County Council suggested that if Badingham Parish Council orvillage fundraising provided the £10,000 required for the exercise, theycould look to install yellow lines. The Parish Council does not have thisamount of money and is therefore not in the position to fund the works,which can only be carried out by Suffolk County Council Highways.

Sue PiggottClerk, Badingham Parish Council

A quiz is held on the first TUESDAY of each month 8-10 p.m.in the White Horse Pub

“Help Plan the Future of the District”Local Plan Review

Issues and Options ConsultationTown and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England)Regulations 2012 (as amended)Suffolk Coastal District Council is committed to undertaking a review of its LocalPlan as outlined in the adopted Core Strategy.  The Core Strategy sets the broadscale and distribution of growth across the district up to 2027.

The Council is now undertaking a Local Plan Review which is to begin with theIssues and Options document which is published for public consultation untilMonday 30th October 2017 (23:45).

The consultation document can be found online:www.eastsuffolk.gov.uk/planning/local-plansKey Message from Councillor Tony Fryatt, Cabinet Member with responsibilityfor Planning:

Across the country, there is a serious shortage of decent, affordable housing andthe average cost of housing is rising all the time.  It is important that delivery ofhousing across this district matches the need of communities by building morehomes that people want to live in, in places people want to live.  To helpcommunities, a Local Plan needs to provide housing opportunities for youngerpeople, families and older people as well as encouraging a range of employmentopportunities alongside the delivery of infrastructure at the right time.

A Local Plan can help deliver the vision for each community across the district bysetting out the level of growth which needs to be planned for and identifies wherethat growth should go.  This consultation is the first stage in the process and thefirst opportunity for members of the public, partners and interested parties tohave their say.

 As we move forward with the Local Plan, Suffolk Coastal will be working closelywith our neighbouring authorities, Babergh, Ipswich and Mid Suffolk, to identifythe most sustainable locations for future growth and development as well as bal-ancing the need for infrastructure and economic growth.

The Issues and Options consultation document:

ü considers the need for further growth in the area and where it should takeplace

15

ü poses questions on a variety of topics such as Community Facilities,Heritage, Tourism and Landscape

includes a large number of sites which have been put forward to the Councilas “potential land for development” including housing, employment andother uses

These sites have been submitted by landowners, developers and otherinterested stakeholders

At this early stage all the sites received have been published as part of thisconsultation, regardless of known constraints, for transparency and openness

ü Far more sites have been put forward than we actually need

ü These sites currently have no formal planning status

ü We will thoroughly assess all sites and reduce the number down as theLocal Plan progresses through future rounds of public consultation

Public consultation and engagement is an important part of the Local Planprocess and throughout the consultation period a series of drop in sessions havebeen arranged.  These drop in sessions are open to anybody who wishes to findout more about the consultation and are being held in the following venue onthe date listed below: Riverside Centre, 6 Great Glemham Road Wed 11 October Stratford St Andrew, IP17 1LL 16.00 – 19.30

Throughout the consultation document a series of questions have been raisedand the Council welcomes comments on the questions and issues relevant to you.

The Issues and Options represent the first stage of Local Plan consultation and isthe first opportunity to let the Council know your thoughts and ideas as to howthe district is to be developed up to 2036.

Should you have any comments to make on the consultation document, or anypart of the supporting documents please submit your comments to be receivedno later than 23.45 on Monday 30th October 2017 via:

The Council’s new on-line consultation system:http://consult.suffolkcoastal.gov.uk/consult.tiEmail to suffolkcoastallocalplan@eastsuffolk.gov.uk

Dr Dan Poulter MPMember of Parliamentfor Central Suffolk and North Ipswich

Over the summer period, I have especially enjoyed spending all of my time athome in Suffolk over the summer period, enjoying all that the county has to offer andmeeting a great number of residents as I visited a wide range of community events overrecent weeks. I was especially delighted to welcome Ben Newton from Badingham at theend of his epic bike ride from Badingham to Big Ben in London on Monday 4th September

– Ben cycled the staggering 200km to raise funds for his Scouting Explorer Belt expeditionto Poland in 2018.With the Parliamentary year traditionally starting after the annual summer recess, thisweek heralds a return to Westminster for Suffolk’s MPs, and the day to day business ofParliament has now recommenced. There is undoubtedly a lot of talk about Brexit andthis autumn’s business is bound to be dominated by the Brexit negotiations as weembark upon leaving the European Union, but my priority will always be to ensure thatthe views and needs of the people of Central Suffolk and North Ipswich are representedand listened to by Government.In particular, one of my top priorities will be to continue fighting for more money for ourschools in Suffolk, making sure that they receive the funding that they deserve, to enableeach and every child here in Suffolk to have the very best start in life. The Government’srecent announcement that Suffolk is to benefit from additional funding for schools overthe next two years is welcome news and I will continue to monitor this closely to makesure that our children and young people here in Suffolk can access the education andprospects that they deserve.I will also continue to work closely with Suffolk County Council to support the work beingcarried out to deliver faster, better broadband to all in Suffolk. Getting the initial tranche ofGovernment money to deliver superfast broadband was hard fought and I was pleased tohave been a part of this process, but there remains more to do to ensure that every home,school, business, farm and GP surgery in Suffolk can access the essential broadbandservices that they need and deserve.With one in six jobs in Central Suffolk and North Ipswich being dependent on theagricultural sector, I have always been a strong voice for Suffolk’s farmers in Parliamentand I will continue to work hard to support our farmers and local food producers, whoplay a vital role in our local economy. I regularly meet with the NFU and the farmingcommunity to remain informed of the important work being carried out across this sector,but also to help in raising awareness or addressing their concerns when necessary. Ihave worked hard to campaign for more honest food labelling, so that food can only belabelled “British” if it is farmed in Britain – and will continue to do so as this work will re-main vitally important as we leave the European Union.
