To be honest I do miss my County Councillor role -
However, it now allows me more freedom to analyse and highlight local issues .
As always, my thanks go out to all those that take the time to read my posts.
A turbulent 3 months - and much more ahead.
Thank you !

(If you have any issues you would like me to shine a light on, please let me know)

Felixstowe benefits from probably the best and most experienced parish/town clerk in Suffolk.
Good initiative.

🚫 Don’t save antibiotics for later.

Leftover antibiotics might seem useful if you start to feel poorly. However, they may not be the right treatment for what is making you feel poorly and using them incorrectly can increase antibiotic resistance.

Always:

✅ Finish your prescribed course
✅ Return unused medicines to your pharmacy

Using antibiotics properly helps keep them effective.

Good to see they listened.

We are proud to say that we now have our own NHS App Ambassador within the surgery. We have listened to our patients and they have told us that a named person at the surgery to assist with questions regarding the NHS APP would be really helpful. April who is also our Advanced Prescribing Clerk is now available to patients on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If you have any problems accessing the App or need help understanding it please feel free to ask for Aprils assistance.

MP steps in after the District Council fails to deliver.

Interesting.

Before the elections the County was split between those who thought One Suffolk would be best for the future of Suffolk due to cost savings - and those- who supported three unitary authorities because they thought it would give them closer contact to those in charge.
Now we have totally new people running the county, the majority having had no input into the decision, siding with the one Suffolk concept and contesting the government's decision.

Wonder if those who were originally against one Suffolk and voted Reform have changed their minds on LGR now that RUK are looking to turn over the government's decision?

"Shocking and quite frankly embarrassing"
