Re-opening of Play Areas

Re-opening of Play Areas

3rd July 2020 | , , ,

As part of the relaxation of restrictions, the Government has allowed play parks to open from 4th July (this is the earliest that they can open). The parish council is working hard to carry out all the equipment inspections and complete the necessary risk assessments to ensure that when our play areas are opened, you and your children can enjoy the equipment as safely as possible, and keep transmission risks to a minimum. For these reasons, the play areas will remain closed until 18th at the earliest, and we’ll let you know as soon as we are ready to re-open them…

Reminder to Dog Owners

Reminder to Dog Owners

14th February 2020 | ,

In these winter nights please don’t forget to take poop bags on your walks with your four legged friend. It’s much easier to find and pick up if you have the bag to hand, and it’s really not nice for others to step in waste in the dark, or find it the next morning! Please think of other villagers and pick up after your dog – spare bags can be found at the dispenser at the MSC Car Park…

Road safety project in our village given green light!

13th February 2020 |

Road safety project in our village given green light! So get involved here… Wickhambrook Parish Council is looking to recruit local residents to a working group to explore all of the options for road safety specifically in the vicinity of Wickhambrook Primary Academy.
You may be aware we had a road traffic accident (RTA) involving a young child in September 2018. The child fortunately made a good recovery but road safety in that area has been very topical ever since and has been discussed on a number of occasions by councillors, residents and the teachers and children in the school.

A plea to equestrian users of Byway 31

A plea to equestrian users of Byway 31

5th February 2020 |

This winter has so far been exceptionally wet and sections of Byway 31 are in a very poor state for walking, a part of their reason for existence. Restricting the use of byways by 4×4 vehicles is difficult, but Suffolk County Council have just posted Restraint Notices on a section of the Byway to limit their use during this wet weather…

Bringing the Playfort back into use

Bringing the Playfort back into use

16th September 2019 | , ,

We’ve been receiving many queries and comments about the Playfort in the play area at Cemetery Road, which has been out of use now for much of the year. Firstly, we wanted to re-assure you that the Parish Council has been working hard to bring the Fort back into use, as we are aware from parents and guardians comments how much the children enjoy this play equipment…
