As always Leiston came together to remember the ‘fallen’ on Remembrance Sunday. The Town Council has added the names of Mr Alfred Robert Berry and Mr R E Manning to the War Memorial ensuring their sacrifice is permanently honoured. Lest we forget…
Residents are sure to gather again for the Christmas Lights switch on, on 13th December. There will be plenty of entertainment and activities at the Long Shop!
Leiston has a new councillor – Joanna Atherton and a new Live Well Hub Manager, Briony Peall. The hub provides a welcoming environment where people can connect with others, access support and enjoy activities. Maintaining our mental health and wellbeing is so important and the council clearly recognises this. With the festive season approaching, the added pressures can be a challenging time for some. We must take care of our minds, just as we do our physical wellbeing.
Huge contratulations to Cllr Lesley Hill who has won ‘Suffolk Community Award Councillor of the Year’ for outstanding service to the communtuty. Lesley will go on to represent Leiston-cum- Sizewell at the National Awards. I’m sure we all wish her well.
