Time for action on Fly Tipping in Pauline Street

Fly tipping can be a real nuisance and I’ve been seeing that there has been some real problems in the alleyways around Pauline Street. We need to do something.

So can we get gates around here to stop the fly tippers? It would be a simple measure and relatively low cost. Please email me at james@bridgeward.org.uk if you want to help in a campaign for this.

Ipswich power cut

The electricity cut that caught those of us in Rectory Road (as well as Wherstead Road, Station Street and who knows where else) did not come on in our house until 1.30 pm because they had somehow managed to trip our power switch and we had to call out an electrician. Luckily we did not open the fridge or freezer or we could have been throwing away almost a weeks worth of food.

These cuts have been very frequent in the last six months, even if not as long lasting.
