Money is allocated to each district in Suffolk to be used to improve road problems that effect residents quality of life.  In Mid Suffolk some £150k was divided between a common sum of £59k and ten county councillors at £10k each.  That sounds a lot but road improvements cost a lot.  This year we will have less due to the state of the economy.  I have used my last year’s budget as follows but please let me know what should get priority this year.

Footpath from Gippingstone Road to rear of Bramford Primary

The district council has quoted approximately £6,000 for the easement to allow the County to surface the path past Cherryfields to the rear of Bramford Primary School.  The total cost now exceeds the available funding by a considerable amount so I have asked for the MSDC charges to be re-assessed. 

Lighting for the Bus  Shelter that serves Hill View Business park

The bus shelter on the Old Norwich Road is in a very dark spot and worries the employees at the park and the people at Growing Places.  I have asked for a street light to be installed and now that we have found where the power feeds are it will be completed soon.

Speeding

One of the vehicle activated signs, the one in Barham, will be funded from this budget.
