There has been no confirmation yet of any support grants for businesses for this na- tional lockdown. Mid Suffolk’s leisure centre and outdoor sports facilities remain closed. 2021/2022 Council Members have received an initial briefing on the draft budget for 2021/22. Budget Once again, the Council is planning for a surplus at the end of next year following a likely underspend during the current year. It is proposed that Council Tax be in- creased by 1.66%, which is equivalent to 23p per month for a Band D property. We continue to have concerns that inadequate staff resources are resulting in failure to deliver capital projects on time and delays in other work. This is despite plans to increase Council Tax and build up financial reserves. The budget will be debated by Council on 23 February. Council House MSDC propose to increase rents by 1.5%, equivalent to an average increase of £1.25 Rents per week. There will be no increase in garage rents. Sheltered housing service charges are set to increase by £1 per week. Council Tax The impacts of the Covid pandemic have meant that many more households have reductions applied for a Council Tax Reduction. This means that the Council Taxbase has fallen across the district and therefore, to maintain the same precept as 2020/21 for exam- ple, most parishes will need to increase Council Tax. Those in receipt of working age local council tax support are also eligible for a £150 hardship payment. Independent Each year the Council is allocated approximately £300,000 as a Disabled Facilities Living Service Grant for adaptations in people’s homes to help them live independently. The man- agement of this grant has been brought in-house due to performance issues with the external contractor. Every year we raise the underspend of this grant as an issue so hope the new approach will mean this money gets used where it is needed. Council’s low It has been agreed that the Council’s vehicle fleet (35 waste lorries and some hous- carbon vehicle ing vans) will be transferred from fossil fuel diesel to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil fleet (HVO) diesel, which is produced mainly from waste cooking oil. It is estimated that the councils’ fleet of vehicles currently emits nearly 900 tonnes of carbon diox- ide each year. This could be cut by up to 90% and will be completed in Summer 2021. Brown bins Due to staff needing to self-isolate, the brown bin collections have been suspended from 11 January until further notice. Other waste services will continue as normal. Emergency Ser- £431,740 of CIL funding has been provided by Mid Suffolk to the planned Emergency vices Hub Services Hub in Stowmarket. New Council Mid Suffolk are planning to purchase 22 affordable homes on the Fishponds Road, Homes Haughley site which is being developed by Bellway Homes. We hope to be able to provide more details in the near future.

The needs of all children during this pandemic have been demanding but especially those who are already vulnerable or suffering hardship and homelessness. The total raised this year is the fantastic sum of £1,218.00 which will be used to support distressed children and their families and to help them face their future with confidence. The details of the money raised are: Collections from Home Boxes £680.00 Sale of Christmas cards £107.25 One- off donations £84.75 Haughley Church’s School Christingle Event £ 96.00 Wetherden Church In lieu of the Christingle service collection £250.00 On behalf of the Society and especially all those children who will benefit, I pass on a very sincere “Thank You”! I wish you all a safe and healthy 2021. Elizabeth Elbourne, Hon Local Secretary of the Children’s Society. 5 DRAFT UNTIL SIGNED WETHERDEN PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the Parish Council meeting held virtually on 18th January 2021 Present: Cllr Chris Harcourt, Cllr Duncan Perry, Cllr Stephanie Hensley, Cllr Andy Lewis, Christine Mason: Clerk District Cllrs: Keith Welham, Rachel Eburn, County Cllr Andrew Stringer. 2020/181 Apologies for absence – Cllr Sonia Jewers 2020/182 Declarations of interest – None declared. 2020/183 Minutes of the Parish Council meeting The minutes of the Parish Council meeting of 16th November 2020 were approved as a true record and will be signed by the Chairman at a later date. 2020/184 District Councillors Rachel Eburne, Keith Welham Report Following a likely underspend during the current year, the Council is planning for a surplus at the end of next year.

  • 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.
