The committee is pleased so many people are supporting the yellow buses. With effect from April 6th this service will operate direct into the city via Newmarket Road and not via Eaton and Ipswich Roads. It will continue to serve Thorpe Station but not on Saturdays.

An area of golf club land with no public access behind Constable Road and Danby Close, Eaton Rise, has been registered as a possible future development site. Possible club house development could be made with proceeds from the sale of this land.
UPDATE 21 JUNE 2010: No development is planned in the forseeable future. Non-playing membership of the golf club is available at only £13 per year (allows use of the club house and restaurant).

We understand car parking will be restricted at the school to the main car park only for private hirings at the school. This may create more on street parking in the neighbourhood out of school hours.
Your committee continues to monitor parking in conjunction with the Safer Neighbourhood Team and any comments about the new arrangements would be very welcome.

The old buildings have now all been demolished and the rubble left will eventually be crushed and used as hardcore for foundations to the roads etc. Some planning regulations are still to be agreed, but building work is expected to start late summer 2010.
