Church Road Drainage Works Confirmed

Suffolk County Council and Anglian Water have confirmed that the planned works in Church Road will go ahead in the new year.

Anglian Water’s contractors Clarets will be on site from 6 January. It is expected to take four – six weeks. There will be temporary traffic lights on Church Road between the Marsh Lane and Green Lane junctions whilst the work takes place. The running lane for traffic will change over the course of the works between south and north side, and for part of this time the bottom section of Green Lane will have to be closed too.

Drainage on Church Road often cannot cope following heavy rainfall and this scheme is expected to increase the capacity of the surface water drainage by connecting two separate drainage systems in Church Road and installing four additional road gullies. It will involve excavating a section of the road between Marsh Lane and just southeast of Green lane junctions to install the new drainage.

The Parish Council car park on Church Road will be partially closed to the public to be used by the contractors. Some spaces will however remain available for public use when visiting the new café and pets grooming parlour.

This is an Anglian Water led project, if residents have any queries whilst the work is taking place, please email floodriskteam@anglianwater.co.uk

Our Village

Welcome to the Kessingland Parish Council website. This website is relatively new and is currently under construction. Above there are three buttons which can be used to navigate the site. The council would like to hear from you about what you think of the website, whether you have an suggestions about items which could be added or information for the website.

The website is split into three main area which can be reach vis the links above.

Parish Council is the button for anything relating to the parish council only. Information about councillors & council meetings, council finances and policies and information about which issues are dealt with by which councils.
Our Community is the button for everything relating to the Kessingland Community. This area is going to rely on all of you as the aim is that this will be the go to site for information about what is happening in the community. This could be clubs which run in the village, what events are upcoming, whether there are any planned road works or other works in the village which might have an effect on the village. It will also include any community projects which are planned such as 'Supporting Local Businesses'. It will also include the work of the council facilitated forum such as the Kessingland Events Group (KEG), Kessingland Hidden Needs Forum and (coming soon) Greener Kessingland as also they are supported by the council they are, at heart, community groups where the community can work together rather than having things done to Kessingland without involving the Kessingland Community.
Our Village is the button for information about the village rather than the community. It is hoped that the information in this section will be useful for and attract visitors but also be of interest to the community. It is planned that this section will host information about Kessingland Heritage and Culture so that they are not forgotten. This area of Suffolk has a wealth of history and local historians and probably local stories, myths and characters which might inspire new traditions or lead to community celebrations. It would also be good to have an area for photos of the village particularly then and now photographs. Again this part of the website cannot just be a council project but needs community involvement.

The council is keen for this website to be a community resource but also recognises that not all residents have access to the internet. The council will continue to post notices and information onto parish council notice boards as well as social media. In addition to this the council has decided to convert its disused bus stop on the High Street into an information hub where as much local information as possible will be displayed.
