Words in memory of Jen Berry who died in December 2022 from one of our Cllrs:
Jen was an inspiration to many throughout her years, especially recalling her time at the Greenham Common peace camp. Having spent nearly many years in Chediston, she moved into Halesworth and was a welcome member of Halesworth Town Council. She stood for election of the Green Party, year after year and was so happy when we took our first local seat last year. A massive hug and donuts were the order of the day.
She was well known through the town as the 'Litter Picker', walking around with her litter picking stick, rain or shine, although she preferred snow.
Perhaps we can start a local working party of litter pickers in her honour?
She would love to know that people were caring enough to carry on with something she thought so highly of…. Our environment.
