FLOODING IN BARKING

 

Barking Parish Council is very aware of the flooding problems in Barking both from emails and Nextdoor. The parish council is working with your Suffolk County Councillor Kay Oakes, who in turn is working with the engineers at Highways to try to get the flooding problems in Barking resolved. 

The current situation today 28th November is that ditching and jetting works have been ordered to alleviate the flooding issues here (Ref La 286074 /75).  Date TBC until assessed by the Contractor and approved by Network Assurance. It’s quite a big job so likely to require road closure.

We will update this page once we know any more information

New homes coming soon....

The Trustees of Needham Market & Barking Welfare Charities are proud to announce that work has started on 6 new Almshouses on land previously owned by the Charities for many years in Creeting St Mary. The provision of these 6 Almshouses adds to the existing 4 almshouses within the Drift Court complex. These are all owned by the Charity and managed by Orwell Housing Association.

All two bedroom, there will be 4 bungalows and 2 houses.  Every element of each home has been carefully considered and designed to make them a place where people of all ages can have lifetime homes. The bungalows are wheelchair accessible and have wet rooms to promote independence for as long as possible by allowing for any existing as well as future health and care needs.

The joint project with Ruby Homes has taken many years to reach this stage but is expected to be complete before the end of the year.

Anybody who would like to express an interest in renting one of these homes on an assured tenancy basis is invited to contact the Clerk to the Trustees via email nmbwc@btinternet.com or 01449 722494
