Obituary: William Edward Taylor, former butcher from Eye

September 20, 2013
20 Sep 2013

The funeral service took place at SS Peter and Paul’s Church, Eye,on September 9 for William Edward Taylor (known as Bill) who will be well remembered in the town as a butcher for many years until his retirement.

The service was conducted by Father Frank Howard and the organist was Colin Bartlett.

Mr Taylor began his career as a butcher, being employed by the late George Edwards in Broad Street and, after serving for two years in the army, returned to his job, later being employed by Baxters.

He married Marjorie in 1950 and also leaves a daughter Pam, son in law John and one granddaughter Sharon.

In a tribute, Charles Flatman described Bill as a true gentleman who left behind a legacy of honour and respect. “Characters come and go, but some leave a lasting memory and Bill was such a person” said Mr Flatman.

Donations in his memory are being given to the St Elizabeth Hospice and can be sent to Rackham’s Funeral Service, Stanley Road, Diss

Veterinary practice expands from Eye to Diss

September 18, 2013
18 Sep 2013

A veterinary practice which has been operating from Eye airfield for the last three years will be expanding and moving to Diss.

Med and Vet, an independent business, will be moving to the old doctors’ surgery at Cherry Tree Stables in Roydon Road, opening on Monday.

Dr Marie Bouvet, who has been a vet for 18 years and help to set up the practice in Eye from scratch, said the new vets would be an asset to Diss.

She said: “We’ve been providing care for animals for three years very successfully and I felt it was the right time to move to bigger premises.

“We’ve been tucked away on the airfield where people only came to us by recommendation but being by the Market Place and town centre in Diss, we believe we will be able to offer our services to more people, especially people who couldn’t drive out to see us before.

“We treat cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, we do routine surgery, dental work, microchipping, passports and high-tech x-rays.

“We do our own out of hours work on the premises and never send emergencies away.”

The vets will be open from 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday and from 10am to 1pm on Saturdays.

Drinks and nibbles will be served at the opening event from noon on Monday.

New SNT bases open

December 5, 2012
05 Dec 2012


5 December 2012

Suffolk Police reinforces its commitment to providing
police services straight to the heart of the communities it serves,
by opening four new offices in Debenham, Elmswell, Eye and Ixworth
this month.

The police stations are being re-located as part of a joint
estates project which will see single buildings used for more than
one purpose.

Tim Passmore, Suffolk’s Police and Crime Commissioner said, “We
face many financial challenges ahead, and our public service
partners are in the same difficult position, so it makes perfect
sense for us to look to see where we work together to make
savings.

“By working together and looking at new ways of providing our
services we can continue to provide excellent services to the
people of Suffolk in the heart of the communities in which they
live.”

The project involves the county council, the fire service and
the health authority working more closely together across the
county. The Constabulary will benefit from the sale of the
buildings and lower running costs.

The new police offices will be bases for the Safer Neighbourhood
Teams and the opening hours of all the stations remain
unchanged.

The Debenham office will be operational from December 4 and is
located at Debenham Fire Station, next door to the existing police
station; the Elmswell office will be operational from December 6th
and is based at Elmswell Fire Station, close to the existing police
station and the Ixworth station, due to open on December 17, is at
Ixworth Fire Station, next door to the existing police station.

Eye Police Station will move to an office at The Lodge,
Hartismere Hospital on 10 December and is a joint project with the
PCT.

8 December 2011

Police are appealing for witnesses or information after an
11-year-old girl was accosted in Eye at the beginning of the

and was smoking a cigarette in the van.
