As your Police and Crime Commissioner, I must publish a Police and Crime Plan for policing in Suffolk and I am in the process of drafting a new plan, which will run for the next three years. This new plan will set the direction of policing in the county and the activity which will be taken forward by my office.

The draft plan is now out for public consultation before being presented to the Police and Crime Panel in January.    If you wish to make any comments, as an individual, or a representative of your organisation, I would be pleased to hear from you.

Please click HERE to access the survey which will close at 9am on Monday 22nd November 2021.

A link to the plan is embedded in the survey but for those who do not wish to take part in the consultation, it is also available here:

DRAFT POLICE & CRIME PLAN 2022-2025 (PDF 2 MB)

I would like to thank you for your interest and can assure you, any comments you choose to make will be considered. Please feel free to share this email with anyone within your community you think may be interested.
Many thanks,
Tim Passmore
Police and Crime Commissioner for Suffolk

Following a recent consultation with customers, Eye Library will be changing its opening hours in April.

The new hours will mean the library is open for the same number of hours as it is now, but will open and close a bit earlier most days to meet local demand. The new opening hours will come into effect on Saturday 1 April and the changes are as follows:
Monday – closed (no change)
Tuesday – 9am to 1pm (opening 30 mins earlier)
Wednesday – 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 6pm (open 30 mins earlier and closing 30 mins later)
Thursday – 2pm to 5pm (closing 30 mins earlier)
Friday – 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm (opening 30 mins earlier and closing two hours earlier)
Saturday – 9am – 1pm (opening 30 mins earlier)
Sunday – 10am to 3pm (no change)

Customers and local people were asked about the changes with 100 people responding and Suffolk Libraries Board, Suffolk County Council and Eye Library Friends have all approved the change.

Julie Shepherd, Eye Library Manager, said: “We have not reviewed the library opening hours for several years and we hope that opening earlier will make it easier for local people to use the library. Many items are returned via the library dropbox before the current opening times, so we hope moving the hours from our Friday evening session, when the library is a bit quieter, to earlier morning opening will result in a more accessible and popular service for our users.”
