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.

Close parking problems, 26th February
We are starting to have problems down or cul-de-sac. I live at no. 35 belmont. The people who have moved in say that they own the area marked in red and that no one else can park there except them. They live at no. 33. On my deeds dated back when the house was built 1978, it says that it is a turning bay, visits may park there but not for a long period of time. It also states that no one who lives in the close should be parking there as we all have a drive way. It also states that the person who parks there must not park past the house which is no. 33. Is this correct, please help the owners says that is belongs to them. Everyone in the close is getting very angry about this situation, if we have it in writing then things can get sorted.
Thank you Wayne

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.
