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)

To all the residents in the Thornhams:
I am sure that most people have heard that Mid Suffolk District Council are cutting their funding to Thornham Walks in order to make savings in their budget.
The situation now is that Mid Suffolk will probably put in a reduced amount of funding (£10K) for the next financial year, with a view to cut all funding the following year.

It seems Eye airfield is now a target for a huge incineration plant. Clearly this affects all of the local parishes, the Thornhams included. The proposed development would mean an illuminated incinerator stack nearly 100m in height, a massive increase in lorry traffic, at least 100,000 tonnes of waste burned per annum, an obvious drop in the quality of air (right next to a school too!) and a general blot on the landscape.
