The support network is not going to go away.

Updated for April 12 Changes.

Have you read everything on your ‘To Read’ shelf and are now desperate for something new? Kesgrave Library is open for customers to come in and choose books for themselves.

The relaxation of lockdown means we can now enjoy spending time browsing in the shops.  Unfortunately, thieves are also aware of this and there have been several thefts of mobile phones reported recently in Ipswich. Please ensure that thieves are not able to spoil your day by following these simple tips.

Police received reports of people knocking on doors in East Ipswich on afternoon of Tuesday 20 April.   Reports had been received that they were carrying large bags and attempting to sell household goods at the door.  Police attended and several people were given notices requiring them to leave the area. Police and Trading Standards always advise against buying or selling any item at your door.

What a busy week we had! Customers enjoyed the sunshine in our sheltered outside space. Our tables are well spaced out, and we offer table service so you can relax and enjoy your lunch or your drink & snack.

We are making specials daily, last week's macaroni cheese and quiche.

All our food is freshly made.

Takeaways are also available from the open door at the front. Here's hoping for another sunny busy week next week! Open Tuesday to Friday, Kesgrave Scout Hall, 10.30 - 1.30

Residents in East Suffolk are invited to have their say on how periods may impact those who experience them in a new survey.

East Suffolk Council is preparing to process the new one-off Restart Grants to help businesses as they look to re-open.

The Restart Grant scheme, announced as part of the Chancellor’s budget, supports businesses in the non-essential retail, hospitality, leisure, personal
care, accommodation and gym/sport sectors with a one-off payment to reopen safely as Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.

Fingers crossed we can put the last 12 months behind us and that you can enjoy Kesgrave Fun Day on the Millennium Jubilee Field on Saturday 31 July from 11am to 4pm. With face painting, the popular climbing wall, segways, inflatables and much more, there really is something for everyone. All activities are free so come and enjoy yourselves!

If you would like to have a stall or perform at the fun day, please contact Jennie on 01473 625179 / enquiry@kesgravetowncouncil.org.uk.

The next Market is on Saturday, 15th May. There will be stallholders there on the day between 9.00am - 12.00pm, with a limited amount of produce to purchase on the day. Our ONLINE 'Click and Collect' ordering system is also still available. You can order everything on one form, with confirmation and payment details sent to you.

The Kesgrave 5K Fun Run is in aid of the Kate Moyes Memorial Fund and St Elizabeth Hospice.

This year’s fancy dress theme is Superheros to show our appreciation of all NHS staff and critical workers.
