David Ruffley MP supports The Pavilion Replacement Project

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”

£1,000 received from the Suffolk County Council Locality Budget

Councillor Penny Otton has agreed to provide Rattlesden Community Council with a £1,000 grant from her locality budget. This is to be used towards the Pavilion Replacement Fund. In support of our project Penny Otton wrote:

“I fully support the initiative taken by the Community Council to seek grants for the replacement of this building which is a vital part of the social and recreational side of the Rattlesden Village Community and have shown my support by agreeing a sum of £1,000 from my small locality budget”

Maintenance work at the playing field

The community council members spent the morning doing essential maintenance on the pavilion and the playing field. The drains and ditches at the entrance to the car park were cleared to prevent further flooding and the roof in the women’s toilets was shored up again.

Our first successful grant award

Our first successful response to an application came today from The Corporate Regeneration Fund. The award is for £10,000 for assist in the development of a new pavilion.
