Suffolk County Council (SCC) is proposing movement restriction on the A140 / B1077 junction (next to the Devil’s Handbasin), to prevent vehicles turning right onto the main road. Drivers will be expected to use the A140/A147 roundabout to get back from Diss instead.

Many will feel this is an inadequate way of dealing with what is a notoriously dangerous junction. To contact SCC on this matter and give your opinions on this proposal, contact Heather Miller at Heather.Miller@suffolk.gov.uk

The consultation runs until the 26th February. SCC is possibly considering measures at the southern junction as well, these will be consulted on in due course.

Thanks partly to the new forms of promotion Eye now has to offer (Eye-to-Eye, Facebook, Twitter and this website) the call for help to collect winter clothing at the church has been a huge success, despite the short notice. Many Thanks to all those who supported!

“We sent out a plea for help -  the response was tremendous, overwhelming really.  The collection of Winter Clothing, shoes, blankets, sleeping bags will all help to keep some people warm this winter. Please accept our heartfelt thanks for your kindness, thoughtfulness and consideration for others.  Your actions  have made us feel very humble.”

Lorry Watch is a scheme you can be part of which aims to spot Lorries going through the 7.5 tonne limit area of Eye. It does not require ‘formal’ monitoring. You could be at home, out walking the dog, shopping or having a meal and still be an active Lorry Watch member, recording and reporting offending vehicles.

Lorry Watch is a scheme co-ordinated by Suffolk Trading Standards, a department within Suffolk County Council. Supported by Mid Suffolk North Safer Neighbourhood Team.

The training will be organised by PCSO 3287 Durrant but provided by Suffolk Trading Standards, who will explain the aims and objectives for Lorry Watch, what a 7.5 tonne lorry looks like and the paperwork that needs completing when an offending vehicle has been sighted. Read more →
