With my Suffolk Green, Lib Dem & Independent Group colleagues today at Suffolk CC Full Council - only one item - the 2024-25 budget…
4.5hrs to be precise… spoke up for retaining our #Felixstowe family hub…will keep fighting for it but cuts in this budget are still there…
Standing room only at today’s public engagement event for the planned development in north #Felixstowe . This consultation process is real - such a significant moment for our town - we must get it right, together. Thx to all who attended: more to follow East Suffolk Council Felixstowe Town Council
Just back from insightful first site visit as Chair of East Suffolk Council’s #Cycling & #Walking working grp to #Benhall & #Saxmundham - real need & scope for C&W infrastructure between the two settlements. Having determined parish councillors like Sue & David makes a huge difference.

One of our councillors died in office perhaps the best way to honour their, and the service of other councillors, is to make sure we vote today.
