I see the Tories at Suffolk County Council are putting saving  money ahead of our local children’s education.

Uproar (quite rightly) about plans to merge Houldsworth Valley with my old school of Paddocks and create a mega primary on the Houldsworth Valley site.   The probable disappearance of  the play areas except a concrete playground for 420 kids to exercise and play in.  As well as a school where kids as young as five can fall out of the system.

I do hope we get a chance to vote next year for the Suffolk County Council elections and give the Tories a good kick up the backside!

The Project manager has resigned, not a problem we are told on a project already millions of pounds over budget.   Councillors are to get another tour next week to see the project.

Planning permission was granted for the new Sainsbury’s in Mildenhall.   It was the biggest decision that Mildenhall has had to face in many a year.

 I expressed my concerns about flooding downstream - over the bulding on a  flood plain of a car park on the Jubilee Fields.  

I  am still not convinced that the traffic won’t cause huge snarl ups but Suffolk Highways think it wont be a problem.   The new bus station has been built in exactly the place that better traffic regulation could have taken place.

As has been known to be said in Ireland.  ‘If it’s directions to Dublin you want, I wouldn’t start from here!’
