This year the Royal British Legion have announced that it will also be used to remember civilian victims of war and terror victims for the first time. So please support this very worthwhile cause and why not attend one of the many church services of remembrance that are taking place in our community on Sunday 10 November to honour these people and help keep their memory alive. There is plenty going on in the village this month to keep you occupied. The annual conker championship will be taking place in the Chestnut Horse on Friday 8, where Norman will be defending his title against all- comers. There is the last performance of the Hageneth Morris Men on the 10 November at the Chestnut Horse which is where they first appeared back in June 1977. There are two Christmas Fairs organised by the primary school and Under 5’s group as well as several live music events at the pub. Sharon, the Landlady, has also organised a Gin experience evening, see the advert for further details. There is also the usual Coffee morning, Quiz night and Film night to look forward to. The annual village litter pick will take place on Sunday 17 so please come along and help if you can, start time 10am from the village car park, all equipment provided. Please read the articles from the Parish Council reference consideration to other village residents with regards to parking around the village and overgrown vegetation. Let’s keep Great Finborough as a village where we all want to live and have good relations with our fellow neighbours. The 15 November is the deadline for inclusion for December / January double issue of the Newsletter, so please contact Simon Tarabella or Peter Turner, or drop in to Maple Lodge, the kettle is always on. Simon Tarabella 3 Great Finborough Parish Council The October meeting of the Parish Council was held on the 14 of the month at 7.30pm. The following matters were discussed and noted; Planning – Land adjacent to Buxhall Lodge DC/18/04491- this application was discussed fully amongst the councillors and views of village residents expressed and noted. It was resolved to submit an objection to the application and the full transcript can be read on the village website or on the council planning portal. Planning – Land to the West of the High Road DC/19/04460- once again, this application was fully discussed and the council resolved to submit an objection due to it not being a sustainable development in terms of the Mid Suffolk Core Strategy. Pear Tree Place Development – It was agreed that contact would be made with Ruby Homes to ensure the site is run in a correct manner and the rubbish including insulation boards is removed from the watercourse. Concerns were expressed regarding vegetation from residential gardens overhanging pedestrian pavements and also traffic issues regarding inconsiderate parking. A notice in the newsletter will highlight these concerns and Suffolk Police have been asked to monitor the traffic situation. Middlefield Drive play area – It was agreed that improvement and / or replacement of the play equipment would be necessary in the near future. A working group will be established to take the project forward and volunteers will be sought to join this group and consultation will be necessary to gauge residents views. Finance – The finance report and payments for October were approved and signed 4 Footpaths – The footpath warden reported that a finger post is missing from Valley Lane. This will be reported. The schedule of work to replace and improve signage is still under production. The village footpath map is now near completion and residents will be asked for any photos they may have that show our countryside / footpaths at their best. Consultations – Consultations on division boundaries / number of councillors and Minerals and waste local plan were discussed and comments submitted can be viewed on parish website. It was noted that the footpath along Woodpecker Hill is yet to be re- barked. This will be done in the near future and village resident help will be sought. It was confirmed that Debbie Lloyd has taken over as Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator and the councillors expressed their thanks to Debbie for taking this important role forward. The next meeting of the Parish Council is on Monday 11 November, 7.30pm, upstairs room, Pettiward Hall Paula Gladwell Men’s Breakfast Saturday 9 November at 8.0am in Buxhall Village Hall, Speakers from The Christian Motorcyclists Association There will be an offering to cover expenses Please book places with Derek Ames by Wednesday 6 November (Tel. 613328). We only serve traditional English breakfast! 5 News from your District Councillor - John Matthissen New Footpath This month starts with some good news and a thank you. A new permissive footpath has been provided for half a mile parallel with Combs Lane, created by Philip and Gareth Hart. This will improve safety for pedestrians on a particularly dangerous stretch of road. In addition, the path allows a particularly attractive circular walk. Starting from the Boyton Hall drive opposite Wash Lane, walk along the field edge and behind the hedge towards town, then via the Danescroft path next to Gareth's egg farm, and emerging into Beaumont Way and Finborough Road, returning via Wash Lane. From Onehouse the circuit can be accessed by way of the footpath from Union Road to Finborough Road. You are requested to keep dogs on a lead for their own safety. Special thanks to the Hart family and also Waspe's Farm for use of their driveway. Climate Change Climate change can seem too vast a problem for any individual to tackle. The big emissions come from huge organisations in the private and public sectors. Despite this there are actions that each of us can take which together do make a difference. I'll contribute one or two ideas each month. Inevitably the most effective single action for many people is to reduce your car mileage. While local bus services are minimal, car sharing can help and walking and cycling where possible will also keep you fit. For longer journeys we do have a reasonable rail service from Stowmarket to Ipswich, Bury, Norwich, Cambridge and beyond. Locality Budget A reminder that this is open for the 2019/20 year, but requests are needed soon. This fund is available for projects locally run by both Parish Councils and other local groups. Give me a call to discuss your ideas, or email me if you prefer. John Matthissen (See Who’s Who) 6 7 SUNDAY 17 November, 10am Meet at the Car Park Equipment will be provided but we recommend old clothes and good gloves. Please give an hour or so of your time to help clean up your village Please ensure children are accompanied Organised by Great Finborough Parish Council 8 Fly Tipping in the village A photo of rubbish recently fly tipped in Valley Lane. Please let a member of the Parish Council know if you see any further evidence of fly tipping or know of anybody who has had a recent delivery of a toy Disney horse, Maximus! A Request from the Parish Council The Parish Council are asking all members of the village to show consideration and respect for other residents in regards to parking around the village and in upkeep of trees, hedges and shrubs in gardens that border roads, pavements and footpaths. The parking issues in the village have much improved over recent months but the council are still receiving complaints of inconsiderate parking around the High Road, Valley Lane and village green areas. Complaints have also been received regarding overgrown foliage and parking on pavements causing inconvenience to pedestrians especially disabled persons and those with children’s buggies. Village Footpath Map The Parish Council are in the process of producing a map of the footpaths in the Great Finborough area. If anybody has any photos of the surrounding countryside / footpaths that they think might be worth including and would be willing to have them published within the map please email them to Simon Tarabella (see who’s who) or drop them off at Maple Lodge for copying prior to being returned. Many thanks. Parish Council 9 10 The Pettiward Hall “Little Ernie” The winners in October were Angela Cuthbert and Frank Raynes.

For those of you that have used January to try and lose some of the extra inches gained over the Christmas period, I hope you succeeded and can now look forward to a more indulgent February. Some good news to start the new year, the village Post Office van is back!! It will be in the car park every Thursday afternoon from 1.45pm to 3.15pm from the 31 January. You know what I am going to say next…use it or lose it! On a slightly gloomier note, its sad to report that there has been some vandalism reported on the allotments, all villagers are asked to be alert and report any suspicious activity to a member of your Parish Council.

  • Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015
    Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015 Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance 2015 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The landscape of Babergh and Mid Suffolk (South and North Suffolk) is acknowledged as being attractive and an important part of why people choose to live and work here. However current pressures for development in the countryside, and the changing agricultural and recreational practices and pressures, are resulting in changes that in some instances have been damaging to the local character and distinctiveness of the landscape. 1.1.1 Some development is necessary within the countryside, in order to promote a sustainable prosperous and vibrant rural economy. However, such development would be counterproductive if it were to harm the quality of the countryside/landscape it is set within and therefore the quality of life benefits, in terms of health and wellbeing that come from a rural landscape in good condition.1 1.1.2 The Council takes the view that there is a need to safeguard the character of both districts countryside by ensuring new development integrates positively with the existing character. Therefore, a Landscape Guidance has been produced to outline the main elements of the existing character and to outline broad principles that all development in the countryside will be required to follow. 1.1.3 Well designed and appropriately located development in the countryside can capture the benefits of sustainable economic development whilst still retaining and enhancing valuable landscape characteristics, which are so important to Babergh and Mid Suffolk. 1.1.4 The protection and enhancement of both districts landscape is essential not only for the intrinsic aesthetic and historic value that supports tourism and the economy for the area but also to maintain the quality of life for the communities that live in the countryside.

  • The TOGETHER Sheet Combs and Little Finborough
    The TOGETHER Sheet Combs and Little Finborough From the Rectory… Reverend Chris Childs The war-time mantra of ‘Keep Calm and Carry on’ was revived for the recession of 2008. It retains a certain sound common sense that we all admire, and none could have anticipated how much we all need it now in this the ‘Remembering’ month. Our churches traditionally remember the dearly departed – and we will again this year on 1st November with a Special Service at Combs (and in each of our churches within the normal act of worship, as the month progresses.) Communities and churches remember those who have given their lives in the service of their country and we will again this year on the 8th November with a Special Service at Buxhall, another on Zoom and another at Onehouse. We all remember (or at least hear) the celebrations of Guy Fawkes on 5th November and we will again this year – though no doubt from our own gardens. Men have chosen this month to ‘Movember’ by growing a moustache to raise money for Prostate Cancer research and we will again this year. I make these points to remind us all that life goes on amidst this pandemic and there are many people trying to do their best to make a living in their businesses and cafes. No doubt we are supporting them as much as we can. For many paid work continues, but in a different format and with many added pressures and stresses. Life is less certain than it was and the older we get the more we realise it and perhaps turn to the God who is there to sustain and support and strengthen in the good times and the bad.

    November 2016 Near Little Finborough Church 1 Battisford Village Hall Management Committee Anyone who uses the Village Hall on a regular basis will notice that, yet again, during the summer break there have been more changes and improvements to the hall. Stan Winter with help from John Thornton has worked his usual magic and we are now proud owners of a brand new kitchen. Stan had nurtured the old one (which was second hand when he originally fitted it) and the time had come when drawers and door fronts were beyond repair. There have also been improvements to the Committee Room providing the Pre-school with a much more permanent storage arrangement. The next project in the upkeep of the hall is to look at the floor, most of which is the original school floor that undergoes continu- al maintenance to keep it looking good. Also in some places it seems to have a bit more spring than it should have. This will be a major job and will need some serious fund raising to complete. Hopefully you have seen the Christmas Ball advertised with which we are hoping to kick start fundraising for the floor. The event is being held at Ringshall Village Hall (purely because we needed a bit more room for dancing) on the 26th November. Look out for the poster further on in the magazine which contains more details of the event. It would be great to see you there. BATTISFORD VILLAGE HALL LISTINGS Monday – Friday during term time Pre-School morning sessions, lunch clubs and afternoon session.
