In the light of a) the increased scale of the project to renew the playground and b) the failure of the Thornham Walks application for provision for older children, some Villagers have been requesting an early meeting of members of TMCOS (all of us). They want to have more detailed information, to raise questions and to take part in a full discussion. Some of these questions (including financial liability) are set out at the TMCOS site: click here to see our position in more detail and feel free to add comments below the article.

All the Children and young people of the village (you can bring your parents / carers too) are invited to an Easter-themed activity morning at the Thornhams Village Hall on Monday 12th April @ 10am

There will be an Easter egg for all children/young people taking part. Click on the image of the poster for full details

As you know, Suffolk County Council are considering Eye Airfield as a site on which to build, possibly several, waste incinerators. It turns out that we are in the 3rd and final round of "consultations" and most of us only heard about this a couple of weeks ago. The reason why? Suffolk County Council said that they 'did not wish to create paper waste by contacting residents'. That should give you a good idea as to how much you should trust them on this issue and how important it is that you write and object (details below - click Read More)
