PARISH INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT PLAN (PIIP) - We need YOU to come forward with ideas as to how we can best utilise the income we are receiving from the new developments in the village.
We have a duty to spend CIL income on providing, improving, replacing, operating or maintaining infrastructure that supports the development of the PC area or anything else concernced with addressing demands that development places on the area.
The Parish Council have come up with a few ideas but we need more. It is YOUR village, so please engage with us so we can make improvements for the benefit of everyone. Please refer to both the December and January editions of the Palgrave Star for some initial ideas. You can bring your wish list to the next meeting of the Parish Council, relay them to any one of our Councillors or email the parish clerk. All ideas welcome!

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.
Palgrave Parish Council currently has seven elected members who serve on the Parish Council. At present there is a need for four more councillors so if you are interested in finding out more details on becoming a Parish Councillor, please contact the Parish Council or the Clerk. The Councillors are:
Mrs E Collins, Miss M Sneddon (Vice-Chair), Mr N Weston (Chair), Mr M Brown, Mrs W Cooper, Mr D Long and Mrs S Cousins-Clarke.
