COUNCIL ACTIVITIES
There will be a Public Meeting to dicuss the Saxmundham Town Plan
on Saturday, 28th January at 10am in the Market Hall
The Saxmundham Town Plan is being supported by the Saxmundham Town Council, but the working party - to explore new ideas and produce a master plan for the future - will be independent of the Town Council and has yet to be formed. The public meeting on January 28th will cover the objectives, scope and benefits of a Town Plan, what neighbouring towns are doing and also calling for volunteers to join and support the independent Working Party, which has yet to be formed. Please visit: www.saxtownplan.org.uk and pop in on the 28th to find out more, and give your views, on what could make Saxmundham a better place in which to live, relax and work !
On

that Saxmundham Free School had been approved to go on to the next
stage of its development. Further information is available on the

public view.

Batho, Joseph Cassels, Graham Cooke, Rose Damiral-White, John Fisher,
Ken Howe, Diana Sculley, Donald Tricker, Cheleigh Trotter-Langlois
