We have used the latest data available at the time of publication. Much more data is available from national and local sources than is captured here, but it is hoped that the profile will be a useful starting point for discussion, where local knowledge and experience can be used to flesh out and illuminate the information presented here. The profile can be used to help look at some fundamental questions e.g. • Does the age profile of the population match or differ from the national profile? • Is there evidence of the ageing profile of the county in all the wards in the Division or just some? • How diverse is the community in terms of ethnicity? • What is the impact of deprivation on families and residents? • Does there seem to be a link between deprivation and school performance? • What is the breakdown of employment sectors in the area? • Is it a relatively healthy area compared to the rest of the district or county? • What sort of crime is prevalent in the community? A vast amount of additional data is available on the Suffolk Observatory www.suffolkobservatory.info The Suffolk Observatory is a free online resource that contains all Suffolk’s vital statistics; it is the one-stop-shop for information and intelligence about Suffolk.

  • Bury St Edmunds Walking Tour Final
    Discovering Bury St Edmunds: A Walking Guide A step by step walking guide to Bury St Edmunds; estimated walking time: 2 hours Originally published: http://www.burystedmunds.co.uk/bury-st-edmunds-walk.html Bury St Edmunds is a picturesque market town steeped in history. Starting in the Ram Meadow car park, the following walk takes you on a circular route past the town's main sights and shops, with a few curios thrown in for good measure. At a leisurely pace it should take approximately 2 hours to complete. Bury St Edmunds car parks charge every day of the week, but are cheaper on Sundays. There are public toilets at the car park. A market takes over the centre of town every Wednesday and Saturday throughout the year. Abbot's Bridge From the car park, face the cathedral tower in the distance, and head through the courtyard of the Fox pub and out on to Mustow Street. Cross the road and turn right to find Abbot's Bridge, which dates back to the 12th century, and originally linked Eastgate Street with the Abbey's vineyard on the opposite bank of the river Lark. Beside this, you can still see the Keeper's cell, from which he would have operated the portcullis which protected the Abbey from unwanted visitors. The Aviary A little further along Mustow Street, enter the Abbey gardens on your left. The information board in front of you includes the current opening hours of the Abbey grounds, which vary with the changing seasons. Head straight up the path, and fork right at the first opportunity, you will find the aviary, and beyond this duck under the archway to enter the sensory garden.

  • Council Size Proposal for a Future Council for West Suffolk Submitted
    Council Size Proposal for a Future Council for West Suffolk Submitted on behalf of Forest Heath District Council and St Edmundsbury Borough Council In September 2017, Forest Heath District Council (FHDC) and St Edmundsbury Borough Council (SEBC) agreed a business case that supports the formation of a single district-tier Council for West Suffolk. This business case has now been submitted to the Secretary of State, who, under s.15 of the Cities and Local Government Devolution Act 2016, has the power to issue an Order to create the new Council. The business case and associated appendices is available at http://svr-mgov-01:9070/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=3649&Ver=4 That Order will include those ancillary matters necessary to bring the new Council into being. One of the most important aspects is the number of Councillors necessary to operate the new council. Whilst this decision will be made by the Secretary of State, we consider it important that we submit our views, as the current District and Borough Councillors for West Suffolk, on the number of Councillors we believe the future Council should have. This paper covers: - Background to West Suffolk as a place - Background to West Suffolk councils - Forming our argument for council size, including: o The governance arrangements of the council o Regulatory decision making o Scrutiny and oversight arrangements o Responsibility to outside bodies o The representational role of councillors o Views of the residents of West Suffolk o How our argument creates a council size - Conclusion About West Suffolk West Suffolk is a growing area.

This booklet provides general information about taking warfarin, side effects and things which can affect your anticoagulation control.

The information pack also includes an alert card; please carry this card with you at all times in case of emergency and to show to healthcare professionals such as doctors, dentists and pharmacists when you see them.

Blood tests We need to monitor your anticoagulation therapy to ensure that is stays at the right level for you. We monitor your anticoagulation using a blood test called the INR (International Normalised Ratio). A blood sample may be taken from a vein in the arm (a venous sample) or by finger-prick.
