Dr. Dan Poulter: Planning Reforms This year, the State Opening of Parliament saw HRH the Prince of Wales deliver HM the Queen's speech for the first time, due to concerns around HM the Queen's health. The State Opening marks the beginning of a new Parliamentary session and the Queen's Speech set out 38 new Bills which will help the Government to continue delivering on its top priorities. Amidst those new Bills is the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill, which will deliver planning reforms, regenerate towns and cities and shift powers down from central Government to local leaders, giving communities a louder voice and empowering them to shape their own futures. Whilst I welcomed earlier plans to reshape planning policy, the one size approach proposed was not appropriate for Suffolk and I was very pleased to have played my part in delivering a rethink on that earlier White Paper. So, whilst the devil lies in the detail and I await full sight of the detail in the new proposed planning reforms, I am pleased that the voice of local communities will be heard as part of the new reforms. I have always taken the view that any development should be appropriate, protecting out greenbelt land wherever possible and retaining the fabric, heritage and character of our rural villages and small towns here in Suffolk. It is vital that any development should be delivered through a truly locally led planning system and communities should retain the

right to shape the areas in which they live, something which this new Bill should help to enshrine in law. I have also written recently about how rising energy costs caused by the conflict in Ukraine have reinforced the need to improve Britain's energy security. We have finally realised the importance of being less reliant upon foreign supplies for our energy and the need to improve our own energy security. The sustainable answer to securing our energy and fuel needs must come through investment in carbon neutral and renewable sources, so I welcome the proposed Energy Security Bill which will ultimately deliver a more secure, homegrown, and cheaper energy network for all of us. I was delighted to welcome the Education Secretary, the Rt. Hon. Nadhim Zahawi, to Stradbroke where he met with Head Teachers from schools across Central Suffolk and North Ipswich. He spoke to them about his aspirations for driving up standards for all children and the increased funding which has been secured via the Schools Bill. I have long been pushing for more money for our schools here in Suffolk and very much welcome this additional investment which will help to drive up standards and help our children catch up on lost learning during the past two years. Finally, I particularly welcome the new Mental Health Bill and hope to be able to use my own knowledge and

experience as a mental health doctor to be part of the early scrutiny process in shaping this Bill, so that sensible and appropriate changes can be made to ensure that it better benefits and meets the needs of patients here in Suffolk.

Why not try hopping on the Hoppa! There are still many people in our town who are not aware that the Hoppa is a service that can be used by anyone. If you sometimes feel like catching the bus home after a shopping trip, or need to get into town to meet friends, why not hop on the Hoppa? If you're not sure of the service schedule, you can pick up one of our new timetables, which are available at the Library, Edwards, The Angel, Spar and Halesworth Volunteer Centre. You can also get a copy from the Hoppa when we're at one of our many stopping points. We have stopping points all around town, including The Peartree Centre and Surgery, Co-op Store and the Town Centre Car Park.

We're still hoping to see more passengers using the Hoppa on Monday, Tuesday and Friday afternoons, but, if numbers do not increase, we will be forced to stop those services due to the high cost of fuel. In other areas, we have broadened some of the services we offer to the community, so we're always keen to welcome new volunteer drivers. If you're interested in helping support us please call the office on 01986 875900. Finally, we'd like to give a big thank you to Halesworth Town Council for providing a grant for the continuing work of the Hoppa.

Halesworth WI report Members listened as Anna Mickleburgh told us of the details of the National Federation resolution which will be voted on at the NF AGM in Liverpool in June. The resolution was to support more help for women and girls with ASD and ADHD. Males are more likely to be diagnosed with autism and so receive help, girls are under diagnosed and

so struggle to gain support. Our members voted unanimously to vote for this at the AGM. We then had refreshments and some entertainment while encouraging members to inspect and buy something from the wide variety of items displayed in the silent auction. We were reminded of our pick up points for our June outing.

visit the site or give us a call to find out what we offer.

The afternoon ended with a competitive round of bingo, with bingo calling supremo, Councillor Tony Goldson. Thanks to all for a very special day. Special thanks to Halesworth Town Council for organising a wonderful picnic in the Park. It was great to be able to bring a Hoppa bus full of locals for a sit down tea.

The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. We have had the most amazing start to June 2022. Thank you for all your kind words and lovely messages about the news that we have been awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. This Award is all about the dedication of our wonderful volunteers, old, new and not so old and our staff team. The Award reflects our near 40 years of providing support in Halesworth and beyond. But is also about how we came together during the Pandemic. It is also about the Churches, Halesworth Town Council and all the Parish Councils, local Charities like the Pear Tree Centre, Halesworth Dementia Carers Fund and so many others. Special thanks to Hact, for being such stars back in 2020 and 2021 and now in 2022, getting people out and about once again. We want to thank everybody who help during the long months of the Pandemic. You really made a difference, shopping, being Brilliant Bakers, creating Souper Saturday. Also, huge thanks to all the people and organisations that supported us through donations and gifts. You all made this award possible. Thank you. A new look for Halesworth Volunteers.

wait for Suffolk Dog Day lovers to see this incredibly well-loved event back up and running. We promise a really uplifting, confidence boosting 'right royal' celebration. There will be everything you could want from the day - from a Royal Fancy Dress Procession and Breed Parades (where the Corgi will lead the way) to dynamic dog displays, have-a-go-activities, demonstrations and brilliant advice from our friendly canine experts." Long time Suffolk Dog Day headline sponsor, Skinner's make a welcome return to the event, bringing their new 'Get Out and Go!' range of pet nutrition and training treats to the show for the first time. Pound Gates also join us as a joint headline sponsor this year with a particular focus on our charity event theme of mental health and wellbeing, which brings to the day a very special 'Happy Hub' for humans,

being created for the benefit of the owners of our four legged friends. Del Sharman (Director of Pound Gates) says: "As a long-time supporter of Suffolk Community Foundation, through our Acorn Fund, we are delighted to be involved in Suffolk Dog Day as joint-headline sponsor. Funds raised from the day go towards supporting charities and causes in Suffolk. We hope that our involvement will help to highlight the important work of the Foundation and the causes they support." With every penny raised having always been donated to support the work of Suffolk charities and community groups, the County's largest date in the canine calendar has already raised almost £600K and supported over 250 projects across every corner of Suffolk. The original idea for Suffolk Dog Day work came about over a decade ago when a group of friends wanted to raise 184814

There will be nationwide celebrations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and together, across this wonderful County, we are making 2022 a year of celebration for us all - this is a year that sets the vision for the future of Suffolk. Suffolk Dog Day is extremely proud to be part of a series of events across the summer, that will make up the Festival of Suffolk. There is much talk of hope and excitement as our summer diaries begin to fill with plans-a-plenty, making it a truly PAWSITIVE year to remember!

money to support the work of Suffolk Community Foundation. Lead volunteers Richard Cooper and Robin Vestey are sharing the role of 'Top Dog' this year. Richard says "The original idea was that a few volunteers would put on a small dog show for the locals in Helmingham. Here we are, only a little over a decade later and #PawPower has helped support so much great work in Suffolk. It has fed families via food banks, relieved the loneliness of older people, supported those fighting addiction, experiencing domestic violence or sexual abuse, the list of great work supported continues to grow every year. Robin Vestey says: "We really loved the idea of having a Festival of Suffolk this year, to really help to get the county back on it's feet. When we were invited to join in, there was no hesitation. The festival's aim is the same as our own, to help Suffolk recover, reset and re-charge for the future. We know from all the messages we receive, that people are so looking forward to the return of Suffolk Dog Day. It's been the favourite event for the family for almost a generation and we hope it will make a strong

contribution to getting Suffolk out and about and returning to normality post pandemic. With all the money raised being dedicated to supporting local mental health and well-being projects we can also support those who are finding things harder at the moment, to get the help they need to recover." Laura Ripman (Event Manager) says: "This really is an event BY the people of Suffolk, FOR the people of Suffolk. We want you and your dog to have the best day out, as we return in 2022 with the all-time favourites and plenty of super-exciting new attractions! A fantastic family day out for all to enjoy, we really look forward to coming together after all this time and to celebrate the love, happiness and companionship our four-legged friends bring to our lives! Did you know that the event is run soley by volunteers? We could not do it without the committed support of a 150+ team of volunteers. For more information about the event, or to volunteer to help, visit: www.suffolkdogday.com" Information: Tickets are available on the day priced at £10 for adults and £5 for children with a family ticket for a very reasonable £25.

The Super Deduction The Capital Allowance "Super Deduction" was introduced for Limited Companies from 1st April 2021 and is available until 31 March 2023. It allows companies investing in qualifying Plant & Machinery to be able to claim either (up to) a 130% super-deduction capital allowance or a 50% first-year allowance for special rate assets. It is not, however, an additional tax relief but instead an acceleration of a rate of relief that is due to be in place next year, anyway. The relief applies to assets purchased new, not secondhand, and the super-deduction will save companies 25p for every £1 invested (compared to the current rate of 19p per £1). Assets include any general plant and machinery such as vans (not most cars), equipment or tooling. The 50% First Year Allowance applies to plant with an expected life exceeding 25 years (e.g integral features) which would normally be listed in the separate 6% pool of assets. You should ensure that you keep a record of what you have purchased and when. If you

dispose of any assets on which you have claimed the Super Deduction before 31 March 2023, a balancing charge is generated to claw back the super deduction granted earlier. This will be between 1.0 and 1.3 times the actual disposal value (depending on your accounting period). For disposals of assets after 31 March 2023 where you have claimed the Super Deduction, you are not required to apply the multiplier of (up to) 1.3. Whilst this initially implies that a delayed disposal would attract greater tax relief overall, as it is currently planned that the Corporation Tax rate will rise from 19% to 25% from next April, all balancing charges will be taxed at 25% thus negating any theoretical advantage.

Lawn Mowers & Garden Machinery End of line machines available at fantastic prices!

Instead, the Super Deduction reminds us that if you want to dispose of any other assets on which there would be a balancing charge, consider doing this before 31 March 2023 as the balancing charge would be taxed at only 19% instead of the post April 2023 rate of 25%. (The actual relief and rates are dependent on your accounting period. Check with your accountant as to whether an asset qualifies for relief.) Hope this helps.

The Rotary Club of Saxmundham & District has announced that, after 52 years, it is closing on the 30th June this year. Club President, Rtn Trevor Hawkins (a member for 50 years) said: "It will be a sad occasion and we have reluctantly reached this decision after numerous attempts to recruit new younger and more active members but, without success." He went on to say that "The Club was formed in 1970 and, since then, has played an active role in the community and raised many thousands of pounds for charities and good causes in the local area. It's also been involved in projects overseas involving health and education. The support from people living in and around the Saxmundham area has always been very generous and I would like to thank them most sincerely." One of the Club's many fundraising activities has been the Heritage Coast Run/Walk. Since its inception some 37 years ago, it's estimated that in excess of £500k has been raised. All of this money has been given to organisations such as cancer and children's charities in and around Suffolk as well as local projects and causes in the Saxmundham, Leiston and Aldeburgh areas. Over the years, natural disasters in other parts of the world, such as droughts and earthquakes, have given the club the challenge and opportunity to help by providing Shelter Boxes and clean drinking water kits to stricken areas. All of this has been made possible by the generosity of local people when members have been shaking buckets in the streets. One of the Club's legacies (that is planned to continue) is the SMILE Café. Rtn Graham Ward and his team of volunteers have run this facility for the last ten years. It recently moved to the Fromus Centre in Street Farm Road in Saxmundham and will continue to be open every Wednesday from 10am4pm. Graham can be contacted on 01728 564124 for more information. For more information about this announcement, please contact the club secretary via the club website.

the three squares to be undertaken would be the Church Square. This small piece of land next to the Church was separated from the town by a large wall. The area had become neglected and unloved but with the vision of CLT Trustee Simon Merrett's architect concept drawings, it was possible to see how it could become a beautiful community asset, providing much needed refuge in the centre of the town. It was agreed by the Trust to use local professionals and contractors as much as possible. Our mantra is local homes for local people so it followed that we should extend this to our associate, thus: Roger Gladwell was appointed as designer. Once we had approval of the design from the United Church and the East of England Co-op, planning permission was sought and given. Despite the restrictions of the pandemic, our meetings switched to Zoom and Phil Edwards, our Treasurer set about the enormous task of raising funds for the project (around £330k). We have all admire his tenacity for completing and submitting the many applications and the ability to bounce back from disappointment. We have had tremendous support from local businesses too. Once sufficient funds were raised, the work commenced in November 2021 with the demolition of the wall. This important milestone raised significant interest, at last something was happening and the

Once the kittens are old enough, we then need to find them and their mother perfect homes. We give them the best start by ensuring they have all their vaccinations and are neutered. Our expert team ensure they find them their own perfect kingdom where they will continue to be treated like royalty.

contractors were bombarded daily with questions about what was going on! Incidentally, the main contractors, Stewarts Landscapes, have won Gold at Chelsea Flower Show for the last two shows. The work continued into 2022 with the bandstand being the final element to complete. The space is already being well used and the Church is benefitting from the increased footfall at their regular coffee mornings. While its hope that Leiston residents and visitors make good use of this unique community space to rest and relax, it's also hoped the United Church will expand their activities to enhance hall hire potential to keep the Church sustainable. We are proud to have created such a beautiful community asset, the first step on the road to a wider vision for Leiston Regeneration. East Suffolk Council have recently appointed a Regeneration Manager, Richard Best to look at the development of a Master plan to bring together all the local initiatives. Pictured is Lesley Dolphin of BBC Radio Suffolk preparing to cut the ribbon to signify handing over Church Square from the project management of Leiston Community Land Trust to the United Church for public access.

Cats Protection are celebrating cat queens with a Summer Appeal to help with the extra care and support they need. When a pregnant queen cat comes into care, she needs somewhere safe and warm to give birth. This means lots of soft bedding and towels to make the perfect queen-sized bed ready for her new arrivals! Pregnant cats eat up to 25% more food before and after giving birth to keep them and their kittens healthy. They need to have a balanced diet full of nutrition, so we make sure all their meals are fit for royalty! Our fosterers will be watchful when the births are imminent to provide emergency help if needed, but generally, the queen will cope well herself. Once the kittens have safely arrived, the mother can sometimes find it overwhelming. They will all need extra special care, so we'll be on hand to ensure

"Majesty!" Holy Trinity Church, Blythburgh Saturday 9th July at 7.30pm

LOCAL SERVICES DIRECTORY

Pakefield Singers are proud to present "Majesty!", a double celebration marking both the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen and the 20th anniversary of this popular choir. The concert includes the choir's first performance of Mozart's Coronation Mass, regal and celebratory in nature and perfect for a grand ceremonial occasion. It showcases both Mozart's inspired choral writing and his instinctive genius when composing for the solo voice.

Schubert's Mass in G major has a gentler feel and was composed in just one week by a youthful Schubert but demonstrating his greater musical maturity. A beautiful choral arrangement by choir member, Chris Upton, and well-known masterpieces from the singers' repertoire over the past two decades by Handel (Zadok the Priest), Beethoven and Mendelssohn are included to make for a grand jubilant concert. Conducted by Director of

Music and founder of the choir, Vetta Wise, with organist Tim Patient, the concert will take place in the awe-inspiring surroundings of Blythburgh's church on Saturday 9th July at 7:30pm. Tickets are £12.50 (under 16 free) from The Halesworth Bookshop, 42 Thoroughfare, 'Take Note Music', 11 Grove Road, Lowestoft, or by phoning 01502 5733733.

gelding came along to join in with the day's fun. We are very grateful to Mr and Mrs Aldous for their continued support of The Suffolk Punch Trust and the Suffolk horse." said Tracey Pettit, The Suffolk Punch Trust. Fiona Fleming, President of The Suffolk Horse Society said: "We were delighted to once again be asked by Colin Aldous and Ufford Park to represent The Suffolk Horse Society, at The Suffolk Punch Golf Tournament, especially with Ufford being the birth place of the first Suffolk horse stallion, "Crisps Horse of Ufford" born in 1768". The Suffolk Horse Society is the official charity for the preservation and promotion of the Suffolk Punch Horse.

Glorious Baroque Beccles Choral Society members are working hard, and thoroughly enjoying themselves, rehearsing for their next performance in July. Under the baton of their well know conductor, Geoff Lavery, and accompanied by the Kingfisher Sinfonia, this very popular choir will present Zadok the Priest and The King Shall Rejoice from Handel's Coronation Anthems and Vivaldi's Gloria. The orchestra will play Handel's Concerto Grosso to complete this very popular programme.

The concert date is Sunday 3rd July at 4:30pm in St. Michael, the Archangel in Beccles. There will also be a short talk on the programme by the conductor at 4:10pm. Tickets are available from Beccles Bookshop, from Cheryl Coutts on 01502 714655 or cherylcoutts468@btinternet.com.

On Spring Bank Holiday, Thursday 2nd June, Ufford Park Woodbridge hosted the second 'Suffolk Punch Trophy' golf competition to help raise funds for the Suffolk Punch horse, following last year's success. The event (founded by owner and keen golfer, Colin Aldous) attracted elite golfers from across Suffolk to play two rounds at the award-winning 18-hole, par 71 course, nestled in the Suffolk countryside. Ufford Park has previously hosted various prestigious golf tournaments including, The Rett Classic, Best Western National Seniors and Sky Televised Euro Pro Tour. Colin said: "Back in 2019, we felt the time was right to introduce a new annual golf competition, and after significant research and consideration, we decided on a Regional Annual Order of Merit event, which could support an appropriate charity.

Harbour Lights Trio One of the area's favourite bands will appear at Woodbridge Library in July. The Harbour Lights Trio are versatile and entertaining Suffolk musicians who perform mainly East Anglian songs and tunes. They play a range of instruments including concertinas, melodeon, bazouki, guitar, harmonica and cello, switching from one to another as the music requires. With an emphasis on entertainment and audience participation, their material ranges from traditional and music hall songs to more recent gems. Whether performing at major festivals or a village hall, the Trio of Alvar Smith, Derek Simpson and Rob Neal provides an amusing and intimate

evening's entertainment. This opportunity to sit back, relax, tap your feet and singalong will be on Thursday 21 July at 7:30pm. You can book your seat (£8 adults/£4 students) in person at the Library or by phoning 01394 330855. Drinks will be served during the interval and the seat price includes your glass of wine or juice. All proceeds go to the work of the Friends of Woodbridge Library. Harbour Lights are much in demand to play at local community groups and village concerts, after-dinner entertainment, town twinning events and folk festivals. This is a great opportunity to enjoy a truly East Anglian evening.

Hunnaball Family Funeral Group

Pre-paid funeral plans Surprisingly reassuring

Many people have discovered the wisdom of being able to fix most of their funeral costs at today's prices, no matter when they may actually need a funeral. Far from being a morbid thought, purchasing a pre-paid funeral plan leaves you free to make the most of life and enjoy the future. From 29th July 2022, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will take over the regulation of the sale of pre-paid funeral plans, further safeguarding the interests of consumers. FCA regulation will mean that every funeral plan provider will have been thoroughly vetted by a government sponsored body to ensure that your investment is safe. Funeral Directors who sell plans must also be FCA authorised intermediaries for the plan provider. Of course, many pre-paid to bald patches or thinning hair. This can be caused by funeral plan providers, like our medication, treatment or stress! own partners, Golden Charter, have been regulated on a What can I do? • Discreet extensions/ replacement systems to thicken your hair, add length or cover finer patches. • Visit our scalp clinic to look in microscopic detail at your scalp Cook, Historic to help identify a treatment plan Howard Aircraft Pilot and Flying bespoke to your needs. • Product recommendations to Instructor on Heritage Aircraft, help your hair appear thicker and a Military Historian or even help to improve the presents his latest talk: "How the Hawker Hurricane came condition of your hair. For more information, call and to be". This is for The Martlesham make a consultation: Heavenly Hair in Saxmundham: 01728 Heath Aviation Society at 602941, Quay Street Collective their monthly meeting Friday in Woodbridge: 01394 386960 or 1st July at 7:30pm. The Meeting is at The Martlesham Sir Barbers in Aldeburgh: Heath Community Centre, 01728 454445.

Heavenly Hair advice There's a lot of talk about hair loss at the moment, and it's certainly come up more than normal. Hairdressers generally have quite limited knowledge on this subject as its usually a specialist area. At Heavenly Hair, Quay Street Collective and Sir & Co Barbers, we wanted to learn more so that we could make an impact. Typically, we lose 80 hairs a day. A change in your routine or hormones, or medication can also affect this amount. Hair growing slower? Damaged hair (heat, colour, or the environment) will cause your ends to break off, feeling as though it never grows, even though you see regrowth. Scalp condition? These can block or damage the follicles hair grows from, leading

voluntary basis for years, so if your plan is with them, nothing will change. How plans are sold in future will change very slightly. At the moment, any member of our team can sell you a pre-paid funeral plan, but from 29th July 2022, only a specially trained funeral plan adviser will be allowed to sell you a plan. You are still welcome to ask about a funeral plan in our branches, but if you think you might like to purchase one, we will make you a no-obligation appointment with our friendly funeral plan specialist. It's a bit like meeting with a mortgage adviser when purchasing a property. With a funeral plan in place, when the time eventually comes, your loved ones will only need to find a small sum for the thirdparty fees which are beyond our control. Thanks to the plan, they'll also have a clear record of your wishes. Sounds like a great idea? It is! www.hunnaball.co.uk

New Mayor Councillor Patrick Gillard New mayor of Woodbridge, Councillor Patrick Gillard (elected on Tuesday 17th May) is "overjoyed to be leading our wonderful council and very happy to be the face of one of Britain's best towns." With its historic riverside, thriving centre and links with the Sutton Hoo ship burial, Woodbridge often comes in the 'Top ten best places to live'. Patrick (who's married to long-time Woodbridge County Councillor Caroline Page) says: "Woodbridge has so many things that make it wonderful: Our riverside setting, our medieval centre, and our thriving Thoroughfare - but I have to say top of my list are the people of

Woodbridge. They really care, and in my book 'People make a Place'. When the pandemic hit, the whole town pulled together. We set up our Emergency Response Group, and over 300 volunteers from all ages and backgrounds, set aside all differences and stepped forward to deliver prescriptions, deliver food, make PPE and basically look after our most vulnerable. That's what Woodbridge is like. I couldn't be more proud. Patrick's priorities are to build on the great work that the council has initiated over the last three years: Safer roads, protecting historic buildings and making sure that everyone in the town realises the facilities are here for

them. "It was during lockdown that people fully realised how much they valued our parks and outdoor areas. It's so good for our mental and physical health to be able to meet friends in a beautiful outdoor place. I want to encourage even more of that."

Woodbridge Riverside Trust news June 2022

In time for the Jubilee celebrations, we were delighted to show off Sae Wylfing's new mast and rigging, decked with bunting for the occasion! Her repairs/refit are now complete for the time being, and we are very grateful to the Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Community and Conservation Fund for awarding a grant towards the cost of the new mast. The photos show Suffolk County Councillor Andrew Reid, Chair of Coast and Heaths AONB Joint Advisory Committee, helping Bryan Knibbs, Chair of Woodbridge Riverside Trust to secure the rigging, and Sae Wylfing's rowing captain, Jacq Barnard. We are also very grateful to the Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Amenity and Accessibility Fund for

a generous grant towards improving the lighting in the John Gibbins Gallery, which is increasingly in demand for exhibitions and events. Our collaboration with Just 42 is ongoing. In previous projects, young people built canoes, paddles, furniture, bird boxes and even a Christmas Tree for Whisstocks Place! This year, the focus is on helping young people to learn practical DIY skills and cooking – good preparation for later in life. In the ground floor workshop, they are learning to use everyday tools to fix or renovate things, e.g. a wonky chair or a discarded table, and in the process learning how straightforward repairs can save money and make better ecological sense than throwing things away and buying new. In the Gallery, they are learning how to cook simple nutritious meals on a low budget. Later in the project it is hoped

to support young people in key everyday matters such as opening a bank account and budgeting. At the Trust, we are proud to help with this work. Following on from a successful pilot scheme in 2021, and with some splendid help from the Sutton Hoo Ship's Company, in mid-May we welcomed a number of Suffolk schools to The Longshed as part of our education programme "Follow the Ship". Children learned basic archaeology skills, designed Anglo-Saxon 'jewellery', and had a practical lesson in caulking and riveting. Thank you to all the children, staff and volunteers who helped to make the visits so successful. Forthcoming event: From the 12th July-1st August, The Suffolk Crafts Society will have an exhibition and sale in the John Gibbins Gallery.
