Banner on railings, 3rd April
The Copdock Beer Festival organisers put a banner promoting the June festival on the railings of the Church Lane bridge that goes over the A12 between Copdock and Belstead. It would have been visible to cars heading northbound on the A12 just before they reach the Copdock A14 Interchange. As the banner has disappeared, we have to assume it was taken down by N.H. We apologise for our mistake in putting it here and would like to erect it somewhere more suitable within the village. Do you know what happened to it / where it is? Many thanks for your help.

Old London Road / Tesco Underpass, 15th January
The underpass is regularly defaced with graffiti, much of it offensive. The art department at Suffolk One college has recently undertaken a project in Ipswich town, producing an impressive mural decorating the now disused BHS store - https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/23810657.ipswich-bhs-store-decorated-mural-wolsey-550/ The college art department has been contacted to ask if the students would be interested in undertaking a similar project at the Teso/A14 underpass; they have responded very positively. We are therefore asking for your permission for the art strudents to produce / paint a mural on the Tesco / Copdock Interchange underpass. I'm aware that a similar project was undertaken at the Church Lane/A14 underpass at Sproughton, which the then Parish Council and Primary School were involved with.

Pothole, 19th November
There's a sizeable pothole on the Southbound sliproad onto the A12. It's big enough to cause damage to vehicles, especially since they will have gathered nearly enough speed to join the main trunk road as they reach this point.
The slip road consists of two lanes. The pothole is in the right-hand lane (the lane that vehicles must use to join the A12 towards Colchester).
