Reydon Parish Council wants to hear from you! Whenever new developments are built locally, developers pay a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) to East Suffolk Council. Thanks to our Neighbourhood Plan, RPC receives 25% of these funds to invest directly back into our parish.

By law, CIL money must support local infrastructure across three main areas:

• Physical: Transport links, utilities, and flood defences.

• Social: Healthcare, education, emergency services, and community or sports halls.

• Green: Parks, woodlands, play areas, and public open spaces.

While some funds are already allocated, the CIL Survey 2026 will shape future priority projects. Results will be shared at the October 2026 Parish Council meeting, which all residents are welcome to attend.

How to Submit Your Survey (Deadline: End of September 2026):

• By hand: Drop your completed paper form into the RPC letterbox at Reydon Village Hall.

• By e-mail: Complete the downloaded form and email it to clerk@reydonvillage.org (or print and post it in the letterbox).

Shine a light on our local heroes!

In 2023, the Reydon Parish Council launched the Reydon Stars awards to officially recognise the incredible individuals and groups who make our community truly special. Now, it’s time once again to celebrate the unsung heroes of Reydon.

Do you know a neighbour or a community group whose efforts have had a sparkling, positive impact? Whether they’ve brightened up the village, brought people together or gone above and beyond – Reydon Parish Council wants to hear about them.

Who can be nominated? Any Reydon resident or local community group.

How to nominate: Simply e-mail the Parish Clerk at clerk@reydonvillage.org, explaining the fantastic contributions and positive impact your nominee has made. The deadline for nominations is the end of January 2026.

Save the date: The winners will be presented with their well-deserved Reydon Stars at the Annual Parish Meeting on Thursday, 23rd April 2026.

Everyone is invited to join the celebration!

STOP PRESS

The Reydon Parish Council Meeting for December 2025 (Thursday 18th at 6.30pm) will be at the Reydon Sports and Community Centre instead of Reydon Village Hall as the Hall will be having its floor resurfaced.

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.
