Parish Council


Parish Council

At the meeting held on Tuesday 29th July the Parish Council agreed to investigate the cost of additional dog bins for Needham.  As well as the initial purchase price of the bins we currently pay Environmental Services £120 a year to empty the bins.  This comes out of the Parish precept, and this would increase with additional bins.  Suggested locations are an additional bin on the High Road, and also on Upper Burnt House Lane on the north side of the A143, which is a popular area for dog walks.

There were reports of locations where hedgerows and trees are causing obstruction, and in some cases possibly danger, such as the thick growth on the Harleston roundabout that obscures the view of oncoming traffic.  A request has been sent to the Highways Department to cut back undergrowth where necessary. 

The Parish Council was again able to provide advice and support to a resident on problems of surface water drainage.  All Parishioners are welcome to attend the Public Meeting when we also benefit from the advice and support of our County and District Councillors.

The next meeting will be held at the Village Hall at 7.30pm on Monday 23 September.
