Brampton with Stoven Parish Council BRAMPTON with STOVEN PARISH COUNCIL

The system of rural parishes and parish councils in England and Wales was established by a Government Act in 1894.

This Act took away most of the civil functions from the Church of England and other bodies and transferred these functions to the new rural councils. Parish councils were created only in rural areas and these parishes were grouped into districts. The basic parish structure as remains the same, although there have been various local governments acts to change ethical systems, financial systems and powers to create bye laws. Brampton with Stoven Parish Council’s main function is to look after the fabric of the village. To name a few:-

• Planning – Parish Councils have a right to be notified of any planning applications and these are sent for approval from the district council. Parish Council considers any environmental impact the development may have; any impact to neighbouring properties and on the visual and suitable aspect.

• Rights of way – ensuring footpaths and bridleways are passable and hedges and verges within the parish are maintained.

• Highways and Street Lighting – Parish Councils have a duty to notify the authorities (District or County Council) of any problems on the highway - pot holes; flooding; hedges and verges that need attention and identify any ditches that need clearing.

• Brampton Playing Field – adjacent to the Village Hall was bequeathed to the community and can be used by all parishioners. The Parish Council are the trustees of this area and have a duty to ensure it is protected.

• Common Land. North Green, Middle Green and Church Green, Stoven

The Parish Council is a body of nominated and elected people. It is an essential part of the structure of local democracy and forms a vital link between the community and principal authorities. The elected councillors are bound by a ‘Code of Conduct’ and in performing their duties must act with integrity, honesty, impartiality and objectivity and any personal interest must be declared. The councillors must not allow their own personal or political opinions to interfere with any decisions made.

Suffolk's Safety Camera Team operates a number of mobile enforcement vehicles, which are deployed across the county of Suffolk.

Proactive speed enforcement only takes place in Suffolk at locations where there is an on-going risk of collisions, where a number of fatal or serious injury road traffic collisions have occurred or where there have been substantiated complaints from local people.

Locations where proactive speed enforcement takes place is reviewed regularly by senior officers and also monthly as part of Suffolk Constabulary's membership of the Suffolk Road Safe Partnership.

The Safety Camera Team have issued their county wide monthly returns, showing the number of speed offences detected for August.

Please be aware that some of the figures may be based on more than one visit to a location.

Nine-day closure of the East Suffolk Line for Major Track Renewals.

Passengers travelling on the East Suffolk Line are advised to check before they travel between Saturday 25 October and Sunday 2 November, when the line will be closed between and for essential track renewal work.

Much of the track in this area is around a century old and needs to be replaced to maintain the safe and reliable operation of train services.

Old, jointed rail will be replaced with continuously welded rail, helping to reduce noise from passing trains whilst improving passenger comfort; welded rail also causes less wear and tear on train wheels.

Buses will replace trains between and to allow engineers safe access to the track from Saturday 25 October to Sunday 2 November.

Trains will continue to operate between Halesworth and Lowestoft during this period.

There will be restricted access to some level crossings during the time.
