Halesworth Town Council gave away trees. Yes, FREE TREES. Sourced and bundled by Lisa Simmonds from the Suffolk Tree Warden Network who grow their own (from local seeds) and also source from the Woodland Trust, the selection included trees and hedgeplants suitable for clay soil, which is the dominant soil type over our Halesworth area.
Oak
Maple
Dogwood
Hazel
Crabapple
Hornbeam
Wild Cherry
Willow
Hedgerow packs of Hawthorn, Hazel, Hornbeam and Blackthorn.
Most popular was CrabApple which is suitable for smaller gardens:
'Crab apples are great garden trees. They look good all year round, with pretty blossom in spring, followed by small, ornamental apples, red or yellow in colour, and the autumn foliage also puts on a good show. The tiny apple fruits are edible, although not in their raw state, but make good jellies and sauces. Crab Apple trees are also quite compact in size, which makes them one of the best trees for small gardens. They are hard-working trees: attractive, productive and good for wildlife.'
Although we did find a home in a larger garden for 3 oaks. Two young people eagerly took a tree, aged 11 and 12, they would be in their 20’s when fully grown, and could witness the growth of the tree as they grew.
One person offered additional oak saplings for the tree nursery in Holton
The stall was set up and organised by Halesworth Town Council, with the chair of the council, Joyce Mosley, and one of Halesworth/Holton’s tree wardens and councillor, Rachel Kellett.

The Town Council are pursuing a line of enquiry with NHS Property Services. An important element of this is demonstrating that users (including patients, staff and transport providers) of the Rayner Green Centre specifically have or are being affected by issues over the access road and footpaths of the former hospital land.
The Town Council are therefore encouraging all affected individuals who use the Rayner Green Centre to write to the PALS (Patient Advice and Liaison Service) Team at East Coast Community Healthcare C.I.C.
By Telephone: 01502 445447
In Writing:
Patient Liaison Team

If you have previously raised a concern or complaint which related specifically to accessing the Rayner Green Centre but was directed to another organisation which may have included the Town Council, could you please forward this onto the same team via the contact details above.
***Please note this only applies to users accessing the Rayner Green Centre***
We are mindful of and acknowledge the exceptionally large number of individuals who are using the Cutlers Hill Surgery and Pear Tree Centre also experiencing continuing issues. However, NHS Property Services only have an interest in their retained land (Rayner Green Centre) and issues being experienced by their tenant and the provider (ECCH).
We would encourage the support from the affected users of Rayner Green to express their views via the process above.
The Town Council recently held a display in I-Chameleon in the Thoroughfare to showcase some of the upcoming projects. I-Chameleon was chosen as it would hoped the central location would encorage more people to pop in. The display boards were also in the windows when the shop was shut so they could be viewed by passers by.
Below are the boards that were on display. They are also now in the library in an unmanned display on the mezzaine floor.
