  7. In this report she mentions a *different* pub to the one next door to her house - looking around the area she is essentially surrounded by such venues.

    This matches my experience about 6 years ago when I went for a drive around #Woodbridge and encountered a 20mph area where I had to be very careful due to good natured but drunk jaywalkers staggering around and it wasn't *that* late, only about 20:30

    She still doesn't want to criticise pubs or locals and has apparently lived there 22 years without problems - aside from the #planning issue, its definitely something Licensing and the Police need to look into - if they are from "other towns", how are they getting there? That area of #Suffolk is highly car-dependent and mostly lacks public transport at evenings)

  8. The same woman was perfectly happy to complain to the Council about a solar panel scheme next door to her business elsewhere in #EastSuffolk - but chose to overlook #planning laws when it comes to her own house.

    #Suffolk is a big place by the standards of #England - why /choose/ to live next door to the pub, then wonder why there are drunk people wandering the streets?

    Although if folk are getting so blotto they are crashing through the neighbours windows surely the Constabulary and Licensing should be involved, but maybe #Woodbridge is too white/middle class for anyone to make a fuss? Both the house and pub have been there decades, for this to only now become an issue suggests a rise is poor behaviour..

  9. Curious where my Best Buy order was being shipped from I searched for #Woodbridge, ON on #Wikipedia and it did not disappoint. I cannot imagine any commercial encyclopedia having the extent of local history for small towns (and maybe not small now) as Wikipedia does. It's a gem.

  11. @urlyman
    Visited the tide mill in #Woodbridge last week. Old tech, using the tide to fill the mill pond. This version C19th, restored by wonderful enthusiasts. Only has a demo pool now since they filched the old pool for a marina when it was derelict.
    Mechanical to mechanical power so no electricity double conversion losses. Drive train all wood and iron.
    Mechanical application of captured flow energy - a good way to go.
    See e.g. solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2016

    Edit: typos fixed.

  12. Never heard before of #skateboarding being described as "rough" (maybe it is by the standards of #Woodbridge #Suffolk 😁 ) - IME skaters are generally chilled out lads who cause little trouble compared to many other subcultures, but they are still judged quite harshly, particularly those who persist with it to their late 20s/30s and beyond (to be fair I'm more impressed, particularly if anyone in middle age is still doing it!)

  13. A 1971 #Trident Venturer out in the yard today - a high end British sports car designed and built in #Woodbridge and #Ipswich #Suffolk - they cost as much as a suburban house back in the day, and only about 35 of these were built! #cars #classiccars #oldtimer

  14. In Woodbridge, Suffolk, eight gardens that are part of the Wildlife Corridor will be opening to the public on 27th May to help spread their message of allowing space for nature.

  19. Activists in #Woodbridge #Suffolk have dedicated a #toilet to Tory MP Therese Coffey, in "honour" of all the shit she is allowing water companies to dump into local rivers and the North Sea.. 🚽 🚾

    When Kerry Ferrar made the move to Suffolk from London, never did she imagine she’d become a fully-fledged businesswoman

  22. Really beautiful day walking around #Woodbridge earlier

  23. @RMTownsend I live in #Woodbridge #Connecticut where I have run for State Rep in the past. I work in #healthcare as a #communications manager ini #Middletown and a chaplain in #Derby (currently doing #CPE) I've recentlyy completed my #MDiv and serve mostly at churches in #Hartford and #Hamden, but I'll be in North Haven tomorrow.

  24. Insulate Britain got yeeted from using the meeting rooms at #Woodbridge #Library due to (understandable) security concerns for the (mostly volunteer) staff (compared to Ipswich they would be more vulnerable)

    >Would Suffolk Library have refused rooms to the Suffragettes?

    they wouldn't have had any to offer in the first place; Suffolk Libraries only started up in 1924!

  25. If anyone here is a young adult living in #Suffolk who likes #movies, this small cinema in #Woodbridge is recruiting a programmer (not to code a website, to select which films are shown there..)

  26. Not only water pipes, but #bagpipes for this building project In #Woodbridge, #Suffolk - a community youth and arts centre has been constructed out of repurposed shipping containers - and piped in by one of the builders!

  27. Not sure how useful this is, maybe in #Woodbridge and #Southwold there are enough retired Boomers clued up enough to use a smartphone who wander around walking doggos etc that it /might/ bring in some business and wouldn't increase risks (as those folk would be wandering around anyway), but it would surely make more sense for these independent businesses (maybe working as a group) to develop indie websites, keep them updated and respond to customers who use them?

  28. CW: Covid 19, Suffolk, two good kids

    These kids of 10 and 12 in #Woodbridge, #Suffolk (a small town about 17km east of #Ipswich) are offering to do errands for seniors who have transport problems (it also helps that Woodbridge has many pedestrianised areas and 20mph (30km/h) zones so its safe for them to be walking around or cycling unsupervised..)

  29. A young teenage activist in #Woodbridge, #Suffolk joins protests across the UK inspired by Greta Thunberg - and from the whole article it is clear she was already highly aware of environmental issues rather than being coerced into supporting them like detractors often claim - her self portrait sketch of drawing an orangutan is from 2017 at age 11, years before Greta Thunberg was widely known of...
