PARISH INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT PLAN (PIIP) -

Thanks to everyone who contributed valuable ideas about where and how we should spend our CIL income, received as a result of the new developments in Palgrave. The final PIIP was approved at the October '19 meeting and is available to read by using the link to the published document, Adopted Palgrave PIIP. Two Speed Indicator Devices have been up and running since February, with a 3rd now ordered due end July. Highways projects will take a large portion of our CIL money, but we should still have enough to spend on enhancing other village assets as listed in the PIIP. 

LORRIES DRIVING THROUGH PALGRAVE - If you witness a HGV vehicle travelling on a restricted or unsuitable route, please lodge a complaint directly with Suffolk Highways via the reporting tool at https://www.suffolk.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/lorry-management/report-a-heavy-goods-vehicle-incident/ or you can contact the parish clerk. The more details you can provide, the more useful the information. Examples are Owner / Livery on the vehicle, registration number, date and time. 

TREE WARDEN - On behalf of the Suffolk Tree Warden Network, we are seeking a volunteer to become a Tree Warden for Palgrave. This is a fairly new initiative due to Mid Suffolk District Council no longer being able to co-ordinate the role. If you are keen, please contact the clerk and she can put you in touch with the relevant peopl
