It looks as though spring is on its way at last and the recently planted area in Caie Walk is starting to look good, as you can see from the photo. The trees are starting to bud and the shrubberies are coming alive.
Steward Road has been resurfaced but to date has not been completed and there are areas where the work needs to be rectified. Councillor Sarah Stamp has been chasing this up with the Highways Department to get a date for completion.
I was privileged recently to be asked, with Sarah Stamp, to judge a road safety sign competition at Hardwick Primary School where the children had designed street signs to be erected in Steward Road. This week Sarah and I attended the prize giving, the entries were brilliant but as with all competitions not everyone can win. Two children received a runner-up prize of a cycle bag with cycle related gifts and two children received first prizes of book gift cards. The two winning signs will be placed in Steward Road and have been funded by Sarah Stamp. They will remind all drivers using the road to take care as there are children in the vicinity.
It’s almost a year now since the NNRA was formed and we are pleased to be working successfully with Havebury, St Edmundsbury Borough Council and Suffolk County Council, as well as Councillors Sarah Stamp and Patrick Chung. We will be holding out first AGM within the next couple of months and hope you are able to attend.
