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
Hamilton House
Battery Green Road
Lowestoft
NR32 1DE
By Email: PATIENTLIAISON@ecchcic.nhs.uk
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.
Halesworth’s New Look Annual Parish Meeting
Every year a Parish or Town must hold an Annual Parish meeting. It’s not a Town Council meeting but one that the Town Council facilitates to enable electors and residents to discuss things that are important to them. It’s a chance for the Town Council to also give an update on their plans for the year. The Annual Parish meeting has always followed the same format, a ‘formal’ (boring...) style meeting with items raised in turn. Attendance had started to dwindle so the Council thought it might be time to rethink the event…
This year rather than a formal meeting where people take it in turn to speak, we are creating a space for local groups and organisations to showcase their activities. This includes the Town Council who will have a stand which will include the information that was in I Chameleon. There will be a bar, food and trade stalls. Face painting and live music.
There will be a short formal meeting for those who prefer to put their questions forward in this way. Unfortunately, the bar will have to close during this!
This event will take place in the Town Park on Saturday 18th May 4pm – 8.30pm.
There are still spaces for organisations who want to have a presence at the event, it might be a way to increase your membership, make connections with other likeminded individuals or simply raise the awareness of your cause. Email enquries@halesworthtowncouncil.gov.uk for more information.
The Town Council is looking for an Admin Officer to join our small team.
Halesworth Town Council are seeking a Marketing Coordinator for the town.
We want to tell people about Halesworth and bring visitors and local residents into the town to support the local economy and make it one of the most vibrant market towns in Suffolk.
The closing date for applications is the 6th March.

| Putting Halesworth on the map
The Marketing Project have relaunched the Halesworth town website. The new site retains much of the original content created by volunteers from Halesworth Business Group, but now reflects the new brand and has enhanced functionality. As well such as a dynamic events calendar and search function, it has been created with plenty of room to grow. |
||
|
|
||
| To promote all our wonderful, diverse businesses and organisations as well as events and everything the town has to offer, we have launched a new Facebook page - @visithalesworth | ||
|
|
||
| And this is only the beginning
By spring, a much more comprehensive version of this website will be unveiled – one which will appeal to residents, visitors and tourists alike – with varied content to encourage people to use the site and showcase all aspects of Halesworth. We are encouraging all businesses to visit halesworthtown.co.uk and check your business listing. Please contact the Marketing Coordinator using the form on the contact page if your business needs to be added or, if it is already listed, and you need a correction. This will not replace halesworthtowncouncil.org.uk which will continue to provide civic information.
