Pavilion Update
December 2, 2009
The piling foundation installation has been completed. The next activity is to cut the piles to the level of the new pavilion floor. A steel ring beam will then be installed and the floor installed. Once the floor is installed the frame of the building can be constructed.
It is expected that the floor will be installed during January 2010.
Rattlesden Community Council would like to thank the whole village plus funding bodies for their continued support.

Removal of Ash Tree – Firewood
June 10, 2008
An ash tree at the north edge of the playing field is to be professionally felled for safety reasons.
RCC are hoping that there will be resulting firewood available to help offset the cost of felling the tree.
Please contact an RCC member if you would be interested in this wood.
RCC has received a £20,000 pledge from Mid Suffolk District Council under the Community Projects scheme. This is our largest single grant to date.
David Ruffley MP has kindly provided a letter of support to RCC to assist with our funding applications.
David Ruffley wrote “Rattlesden Community Council has prepared an excellent, well researched business plan for their pavilion project, following full consultation with local residents. The proposed new pavilion will benefit all sections of the community”
