Parish Council identifies affordable housing sites in Snape

At the Parish Council's AGM the council identified some sites in the vllage which may be suitable for affordable housing, writes chairman Mike Hill. One of these was offered by a land owner who attended the meeting. The suggested sites have been forwarded to a housing association, the next stage is to meet with them and Suffolk Coastal to consider the options this gives. 

Council Matters...

The vacant position for a parish councillor has been filled by Carol Churcher. We welcome Carol to the team and look forward to a happy association. Carol has previous experience of working with and within communities, which we are sure will make her an asset to the Council.
