The River Gipping Trust have now received all the timber components needed to complete the new footbridge over
the river Gipping just above Baylham. The wooden platform has been received in a kit of parts ready for Trust
volunteers to install, with an anticipated bridge opening date this October. When the footbridge opens it will not be
wheelchair friendly, but improvement work along the path is ongoing and the Trust’s fund raising continues in order
to make it a wheelchair friendly accessible to all path in the future.

Barham Parish Council would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to
Simon Marsh - Highways Assurance for his support and funding towards
DK9 Security when they carried out the patrols in Barham.
The local business man made generous financial contributions
towards the cost of this which helped the Parish Council greatly.
Week 5th July and DK9 Security carried out their last week of work for Barham.
However they had nothing to report, it was a very quiet week for them.
It has been agreed by Barham Parish Council not to renew the DK9 contract, this is due to
the lack of funds which the Parish Council currently has budgeted for the service.
However, its been a good job done by the security team who have helped to make the parish a safer
place to live, visit and work in. Let us hope it remains that way too.
Thank you DK9 Security for all you have done, I am sure you will be greatly missed.
