Our roadside verges have again been cut while at their most glorious. This includes Water Lane and Clay Street, where no one can argue road safety concerns!

Some targetted trimming on bends and junctions of busier roads may be useful, but universal trimming is still applied, I suggest this is because of outdated anxiety about neatness and tidiness. The unnecessary trimming uses fuel and other resources, blights the appearance of our roads at their most attractive time, destroys wildlife and plant habitats, and is bad for the county's credibility where www.greensuffolk.org is not alone in encouraging joined-up landscape initiatives.

The required number of Villagers having supported a protest letter against closure of the Gislingham Post Office, Thornham Magna's protest has been issued (13 May). For text, see article posted earlier ..
