HOT OFF THE PRESS - June / July 2018
FOOTPATHS - We are pleased to confirm that the footpaths in and around the village that are the responsibility of Suffolk Highways have now all been cut to standard after many complaints were received by both ourselves and directly by the Highways dept. The Lows, in particular, was almost impassable at one stage. The Parish Council is investigating how we can prevent this happening again and are actively seeking quotes for the cutting and clearing of these paths so we do not face a similar scenario in 2019.
LORRIES DRIVING THROUGH PALGRAVE - If you witness a HGV vehicle travelling on a restricted or unsuitable route, please lodge a complaint directly with Suffolk Highways via the reporting tool at https://www.suffolk.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/lorry-management/report-a-heavy-goods-vehicle-incident/

TREE WARDEN - On behalf of the Suffolk Tree Warden Network, we are seeking a volunteer to become a Tree Warden for Palgrave. This is a fairly new initiative due to Mid Suffolk District Council no longer being able to co-ordinate the role. If you are keen, please contact the clerk and she can put you in touch with the relevant people.
NOBODY cares more about your community than you and your local council do!
