Projects

The Parish Council is involved in a number of local initiatives and projects.  Details of those projects underway or recently completed are provided below.

    Quiet Lanes

    Suffolk County Council has offered its support to parish councils for a locally driven, centrally funded scheme designating certain roads as Quiet Lanes. These types of lanes do not impose any traffic restrictions but seek to inform road users of the presence of walkers, cyclists, horse riders etc and to show more respect for vulnerable road users. Nearly 400 lanes within Suffolk have been put forward for designation, with the aim of creating a network of Quiet Lanes across the County.

    The main purposes of Quiet Lanes are that they offer a safer environment for non-motorised travellers and can help to protect our rural environment. They are not intended to be used as a traffic calming measure but seek to improve road safety and encourage walking and cycling, bringing benefits to well-being.  Advisory signs are placed at either end of Quiet Lanes to show motorised users clearly that the road is a shared space.

    Thanks to Isobel Aylott for leading this initiative.

    Dalham Malt Kiln

    Earlier this year, village volunteers came together to help to clean the Dalham Malt Kiln.

    The Parish Council (with the permission of the owners) put up a small information board next to the malt kiln providing some details about the structure, its history and a link to further information (accessible via QR code to the Parish Council website).

    Thanks to Ian Petchey for leading this initiative and to West Suffolk for assisting with funding.
