We are planning to carry out carriageway repairs along Mount Pleasant, Princess Road and Moyse Avenue, Reydon.

The works are programmed to take place between 8am and 6pm on Wednesday, 9th April, Thursday, 10th April and Friday, 11th April. During this time, the road will be closed to ensure the safety of highway users and our operatives.

For the duration of the closure, traffic will be diverted via Covert Road, Coxes Lane and vice versa.

To enable us to carry works out as planned, we ask that local road users please move their vehicles from the area highlighted by ‘no parking’ cones.

As we plan roadworks in advance, we schedule extra days to allow for bad weather or other delays beyond our control. If we need to make major changes to our work dates, we will update the information signs on site and our social media channels accordingly.

A plan showing the diversion route for these works can be downloaded by clicking here. When we close the road and put a diversion in place, the route needs to be accessible to vehicles of all shapes and sizes. We make our diversions as clear as possible by placing appropriate signing along the route. The latest updates on our works can be found on the One.Network website.

There may be times that essential emergency works are required to take place on the highway network without advanced notice – you can follow Suffolk Highways on Facebook for the latest emergency roadwork updates.

If you have any queries on the above, please contact us on 0345 606 6171.

Supporting our neighbours and protecting the Heritage Coast

The most recent LionLink newsletter out this week indicates that Walberswick is the preferred landfall site, and that Southwold and Reydon should not be affected by the various new energy infrastructure projects (for the time being at least).

Despite this, the planned public meeting on this Friday will still proceed as Reydon Parish Council believes that it still has a responsibility to work with neighbouring communities to help to protect them from imminent harm, and to protect the Suffolk Heritage Coast, National Landscape and East Suffolk community interest; its concerns as a parish council extend beyond its parish boundaries.

The public meeting will be in Reydon Village Hall on Friday, 21st February at 6.30 pm.

Come and find out more. Ask your questions. Have your say. All welcome.

The agenda can be downloaded here.

Are you a baker, an artist, a photographer, a crafter, a sewer, a knitter, a gardener or a flower arranger? Then why not enter the Reydon Show?

The show celebrates your talents big and small plus prize certificates and various trophies to be won. The show takes place on the first Saturday of August each year, so save the date for 2025 – Saturday, 2nd August. Entries have to be in on the Friday night or the Saturday morning and the exhibition opens at 2pm.

We also have a range of children’s categories open to kids under 12, so if your child is a keen Lego builder, gardener or arts and crafter they can enter too – and kids enter free!

So, plan your preserves, ready your radishes and corral your carnations ready for August. Programme of categories will be available at Bridgefoot Stores, Reydon nearer the date.

Photographic categories this year are:

• Seed Heads.
• A Black-and-White Photo (any subject).
• Rainy Day.
• Animals at Work.

The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), Tim Passmore is seeking the views on his new Police and Crime Plan.

The plan sets the direction of policing in Suffolk for 2025–29.  Please go to SUFFOLK POLICE & CRIME PLAN 2025/29 to access the survey which will close at 9am on Monday, 20th January 2025.

The PCC is also seeking your thoughts on his proposal for the policing budget and the amount of council tax you pay towards policing in the next financial year. He is proposing an increase of 5.1% which is the equivalent of £14 a year for a Band D property. Please go to the survey to make your views known: Council Tax Precept Survey 2025–26.  This survey closes at 9am on Thursday, 30th January.

Anyone in Suffolk can receive a 50% discount off their purchase of 200mm or 370mm wide insulation rolls (up to £200) with free delivery, from High Loft, the UK’s leading eco loft insulation brand.

According to The Energy Saving Trust, an uninsulated home loses a quarter of its heat through its roof. For the second year in a row, help to afford eco-friendly loft insulation is now available.

The Suffolk Climate Change Partnership (Suffolk County Council, Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils, East Suffolk Council, Ipswich Borough Council and West Suffolk Council) has teamed up with High Loft to help Suffolk residents make their homes warmer and save money on their energy bills.
