Statement of Community Involvement

Housing construction

We are reviewing our Statement of Community Involvement which explains how and when people can be involved in local planning, including planning applications and neighbourhood plans.

It also includes principles we will follow in engaging on a new local plan, which will set out where new homes, jobs and infrastructure will be located. 

You can read a short summary of the Statement of Community Involvement HERE.

Please take a look at the latest consultation and leave any comments you might have about how you would like to be involved in planning. 

Please respond by 5pm on 24th February 2026.

Local fiction author Carsten Clovelly will talk about his novel series featuring Nathan and Moriarty. Including their visits to Southwold!

Nathan Stockwood is a middle-aged, middle of the road actor. A fundamentally decent man with a slightly flawed conscience. His overly theatrical nature and willingness to bend the rules leads him into a succession of disastrous situations. Moriarty is a vast wolfhound of regal bearing and sharp intellect. His is the thankless task of keeping Nathan out of trouble.

The Reydon Community quiz commenced for the new year on Friday, 16th January with a loud and lively evening led by quizmaster Jim Archer. An eclectic selection of rounds included identifying the bass lines of popular songs – as played live on guitar by Jim himself! Winners were ‘Three’s Company’ with 124 points (winning for a second month in a row); in second place, ‘What the Eck’ with 118.5 points; and in third place, ‘Treacle Tarts’ with 114.5 points. As the old saying goes, a good time was had by all!

The evening raised a generous £345. Money raised this month was donated to the Voluntary Help Centre, in recognition of the huge support they provide to our community, including visits, voluntary diving and lunch club to name just some of their work. (More volunteers are always welcome, if you have the odd hour to spare!)

Amanda had received a thank you message from Reydon Christmas Lights for our donation to them in December.

With thanks to Jim, raffle helpers and everyone who supports the quiz, we look forward to seeing all the quizzers again on Friday, 20th February at Sole Bay Bowls Club. There is sometimes space for another team, so do contact me if you are interested in joining us, on ahumphry@talktalk.net.

The fascination of fungi

A hardy number of people braved the stormy wind and rain to come to our local Suffolk Wildlife Trust January meeting in Southwold. Tony Brown, a local naturalist of many years’ experience, presented a talk on the wonders of fungi. He explained that there is no scientific difference between a toadstool and a mushroom, as they are both essentially the same thing. The fungus that we see above the ground is the fruiting mechanism of the mycelium beneath, whether that is in the soil or within rotting wood. Mycelium can run considerable distances underground, and in the USA, some honey fungus mycelium has been found to be 30 miles long. No wonder it can spread so quickly.

Many fungal species have gills that store and spread the spores, but others have pores, ‘teeth’ or, as in the case of the ink cap, a cap containing spores that dissolves into a black ink, which was once used by medieval monks as a writing material.

Tony is an expert photographer, and we were treated to a fascinating visual account of the huge range of fungi, from bracket fungus to puff balls, coral tooth and dead man’s fingers: from startling whites to reds, ochres, yellows – the breadth of colours and shapes was extraordinary, and many were photographed locally. However, one rule Tony emphasised several times was never to eat any fungus unless you are completely certain of its identity. The deathcap is as deadly as it sounds!

We all enjoyed such a visual presentation, and it certainly encourages us to observe our natural surroundings more carefully.

Our next meeting is on Thursday, 12th February, at 7.30pm, at the Southwold Arts Centre IP18 6JP, when Martin Tickler will talk about ‘House Martins’. Entrance is £5, to include refreshment. Under 25s are free and it is open to everyone.

The December edition of the Reydon Community Quiz took place on Friday, 12th December, and was a well-attended and enjoyable evening.

Quizmaster Brad led a quiz that got everybody thinking hard! Winners were “Three’s Company” with 84 points; in second place “What the Eck” with 79 points; and in third place “Who are we ?” with 77 points.

Together with proceeds from the huge raffle, the evening raised £360. Money raised this month was donated to Reydon Christmas Lights. The village looks so lovely in December, and the year-round hard work of the Lights Group is much appreciated.

Amanda had the honour of visiting the Scout Group at the end of November and presented Pioneer badges to some of the youngsters who our previous donation had helped.

With thanks to everyone who supports the Quiz, we look forward to seeing all the quizzers to start the 2026 quizzes on Friday, 16th January. There is sometimes space for another team, so do contact me if you are interested in joining us for the new season on ahumphry@talktalk.net.

What would we do without wasps?

The Blyth Valley and Southwold group of the Suffolk Wildlife Trust welcomed the entomologist Dr Ian Bedford to our November meeting to talk about wasps. These insects aren’t usually met with much sympathy, but Ian’s talk showed us how to view wasps in a different light.

There are an astonishing 9,000 different species of wasp in the UK. All are excellent pollinators, a great help with pest control, and an essential part of the ecosystem. The great majority are solitary wasps, which are generally no trouble to us. They may live underground, or in nooks and crannies in trees, bushes or sheds. Gall wasps create odd little growths on leaves, branches or acorns to harbour their young. Other wasps are parasitic, using caterpillars and grubs as hosts for their eggs. Some, like the bee wolf, hunt a single species to feed their offspring.

Only about 1% of wasps are social, living in large colonies, and we have eight native species. The yearly cycle begins when a mated queen wakes from hibernation, begins to build her nest and to lay eggs. The workers, infertile females, then labour to build, protect, feed and repair the nest. Their lives are short, two to three weeks. Male drones hatch later, and once mated with a new queen, they too die. By late summer, the wasps’ need for sugar makes them uninvited guests at outdoor meals, but Ian suggests we resist the urge to swat them. They sting if provoked, and an alarm pheromone in the venom will attract other angry wasps. There are kinder, more effective ways to deal with the issue. They dislike certain smells, so have cloves-studded lemons, peppermint tea or thyme on the table. A false wasps’ nest hanging nearby has been shown to be effective, as wasps are territorial creatures. Their value in our gardens is significant and, where possible, they are best left alone. Wasps may even help humans medically, as their complex venom is being studied for new ways to fight bacteria.

 It was a fascinating talk that made us look at these useful insects in a much more positive way. Our next meeting is on Thursday, 8th January, 7.30pm, at Southwold Arts Centre. Local naturalist Tony Brown will talk about ‘The Fascination of Fungi’. Admission is £5, to include refreshments; free for under 25s. All are welcome.
