E mail received from Barbara Robinson (SOCS campaign)

despite the NFPG being told categorically by the Planning Inspectorate that the deadline for representations from the public was 7th January 2010 and that was an immoveable date.........

I discovered that the PINS website contained misleading and contradictory dates. (It appears to be a forte of mine to uncover "bugs" or errors in government generated websites.)

Thus, the deadline is in fact 16th March, (which is different to the two dates on the website for electronic representation...10th February, 23rd January).

There is therefore, plenty of time to respond.

A later response may prevent the opposition from having time to consider and to counter points made?


There are NHS dentists available in the area. Please contact Carly Wilcock at NHS Suffolk on 01473 770014 for available Dentists.


Received from Peter Ambrose writing of his late father Aubrey Ambrose who lived at Turcoman, Westerfield Road, Westerfield.

I thought you might be interested in a little bit of Westerfield recent history, as my father was the first person after the Second Wold war to build his own house singlehandedly. This made news in the national papers as well as the Evening Star, who reported that my father a then 28 year old bricklayer, tired of living in half a council house built the property in 14 months at a cost of £900.00 plus a further £150.00 for the land.

My father died this June just before his 85th birthday and his ashes are buried in the churchyard of St Mary Magdalene where his parents are also buried; he built the house next door to theirs. His wife Doris, my mother, still lives in the house my father built, which is named Turcoman after one of the minesweepers he served on during the Second World war.
