  • Walsham Le Willows 2011
    conservation area appraisal © Crown copyright All rights reserved Mid Suffolk D C Licence no 100017810 2009 Introduction The conservation area in Walsham le Willows was originally designated by West Suffolk County Council in 1974, and inherited by Mid Suffolk District Council at its inception the same year. The Council has a duty to review its conservation area designations from time to time, and this appraisal examines Walsham le Willows under a number of different headings as set out in English Heritage’s new ‘Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisals’ (2006). As such it is a straightforward appraisal of Walsham le Willows’s built environment in conservation terms and is essentially an update on a draft document originally produced back in 2000. This document is neither prescriptive nor overly descriptive, but more a demonstration of ‘quality of place’, sufficient for the briefing of the Planning Officer when assessing proposed works in the area. The photographs and maps are thus intended to contribute as much as the text itself. As the English Heritage guidelines point out, the appraisal is to be read as a general overview, rather than as a comprehensive listing, and the omission of any particular building, feature or space does not imply that it is of no interest in conservation terms. Text, photographs and map overlays by Patrick Taylor, Conservation Architect, Mid Suffolk District Council 2009. © Crown copyright All rights reserved Mid Suffolk D C Licence no 100017810 2009 Topographical Framework Walsham le Willows is a large village in central Suffolk, about twelve miles north- east of Bury St. Edmunds and ten miles north-west of Stowmarket, just inside the Mid Suffolk District boundary.

  • REPONSE to LGBCE DRAFT PROPOSALS Mid Suffolk District
    REPONSE TO LGBCE DRAFT PROPOSALS Mid Suffolk District Council is pleased to have this opportunity to respond to the draft recommendations of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) during this second consultation period. In general, we are content with those draft recommendations however, there are two ward areas in which we would like to propose alternative warding patterns for consideration by the LGBCE. The changes we are proposing in one of those areas do also have minor ‘ripple‐on’ effects into two neighbouring wards. The fact that the counter‐proposals we are now submitting only have a significant effect on three wards out of the twenty six wards proposed in the draft consultation indicates our high level of support for the LGBCE draft proposals. We feel that a good level of electoral equality has been achieved by the LGBCE in these draft proposals whilst reflecting real community interests and identities. For these reasons we feel it is important that we give our observations on all areas and not just comment on those few instances where we would like to see alternative solutions. Western parishes (but referred to as ‘Eastern’ in draft report) We have some reservations about the new two‐member ward of Elmswell & Woolpit. However, we have not been able to devise a workable alternative which does not have extensive and unwelcomed repercussions elsewhere. At our Full Council meeting a number of Members raised concern about the Haughley & Wetherden ward. The concern relates to area in the south of the Haughley ward which fall within Stowmarket Town boundaries.

We did this by conducting a short communion service in Rickinghall church followed by a walk to All Saints, Redgrave via the Chapel of Ease, Botesdale. Forty people joined us for this occasion. As we celebrated this we considered how unity is defined. On the surface, the worldly definition of “unity” might be summarized as “we all feel the same way” about something. So isn’t it basically people “voting” the same way on something? The problem with this is that the basis for such unity is not necessarily based on individual facts or doctrine or truth, but rather the alignment of emotions. Often at the expense of facts, doctrine, truth. This is not the biblical definition of “unity” and the Bible contains many examples of this kind of false, or Rev “worldly”, unity.

  • A Wider Horizon Tells the Story of One of Those – Creative Arts East, Which Serves Rural Norfolk and Suffolk
    £5 Creative Arts East and Rural Touring The arts thrive in rural communities. Performances, exhibitions, classes and groups abound. Alongside what is created locally, many villages also promote professional theatre and music with help from England’s rural touring schemes, A Wider Horizon tells the story of one of those – Creative Arts East, which serves rural Norfolk and Suffolk. It describes a three-year initiative to reach communities, which Arts Council England had identified as deserving more investment. The work shows how good arts development depends on relationship, empowerment and trust – and a dash of creativity. At a time of change and austerity, it also has wider lessons for the arts and leisure services.
