One of the groups in Bridge Ward that I’ve never covered, and it is remiss of me, is the Ipswich and Suffolk Credit Union, which is based in 63 Austin Street, and also has an information point in the Maidenhall Residents Association shop every Friday between 10 and 12 in the morning.

This group does a great amount of work helping people deal with the fluctuations with money without going to a doorstep lender. It operates throughout Suffolk, so it can be said that it is the largest financial institution with its headquarters in Bridge.

Well the meeting was cancelled, and now I’ve been told by both the Evening Star and one of the councillors that the meeting between the council and the Noise Action Group is back on.

There will also be a meeting between Southern Cement and councillors.  Of course what would be best for both sides would be to meet directly, Southern Cement and the Noise Action Group.

So Uniland / Southern Cement, if you want to meet us then you can reach us at james@bridgeward.org.uk or through your usual channels of communication.  Email us, even if you’re not ready yet, even if you want to explain us why you’re not ready yet.

We’re quite nice really, especially when we’ve had a night’s sleep.

There is a fantastic piece about the history of the Old Stoke area on, of all things, the BBC website.  It features the Over Stoke history group which has been run by Jill Freeman, who has also co-ordinated a fantastic display in St Peter’s church of the history of the area.  If you haven’t seen it, I would really recommend it.
