Pinewood

I live in Pinewood. What do people think of the area. It is an area that is in Babergh area but most services come from Ipswich and is split in two by Ipswich.

Yes, this is a bit odd. In my opinion, the boundaries of Ipswich should be expanded, to include all of Pinewood, and other areas such as Purdis Farm,  Kesgrave,  Rushmere St Andrew and Westerfield. However,  I think this was rejected around 15 years ago ... more »

Suffolk sheds / Shed Panels

Around 10 years ago I bought a shed from Suffolk Sheds in East Bergholt. I'm looking to buy a replacement panel but the number I have (01206 618896) is coming up as not in service. Does anyone know if Suffolk Sheds are still in business and if not can ... more »

Dogs off lead on the street

Agree, have 3 dogs and would NEVER have them on a road off the lead, partly because all being rescues they are not well trained enough, (but my old dog, had from a puppy was also always on a lead on the road), and partly cos they do love cats!,
Hayley S
All this talk we've had on here regarding dogs mess,muzzles,leads etc. It's not the dogs fault, it comes down to the owners I believe. They control this sort of behavior. The dog can't pick its own mess up or put muzzle/lead on. So it's time to blame ... more »

Theft

any one live near the willows primary school downing close area as we have had three metal security fencing stolen this week, has any one seen someone making a pet cage recently. could you please let us know thanks

The low life that steal like this won't be making anything, they'll be straight down the scrap metal dealers. If you want the fencing back then perhaps you should give the local scrap dealers a visit/call.

Since heard one at the Greyhound Pub, Old Norwich Road and Humber Doucy Lane. Anymore?
Kathie J
There is one at the old County Hall, St. Helens St. However, I hear the one on Old Norwich Road was removed a few days ago. So there are very few left in Ipswich now.

What is the contents per bag, weight wise please?
Leavenheath
The kindling is packed as tight as possible into a standard size plastic bags, so the weight varies slightly, but the middle of the range weight is roughly 6 1\4 lb which I think is about 2.8 kilo. Some are slightly more some slightly less.
