🚨 PETITION CLOSES WEDNESDAY 4TH NOVEMBER!

I’ve heard from residents across Lowestoft, Beccles and our surrounding communities who are fed up with illegal bikes being ridden dangerously on our roads, pavements and public spaces. This behaviour is putting people at risk and making residents feel unsafe in their own neighbourhoods.

Nearly 1,000 people have already signed my petition, sending a clear message that more needs to be done. We need stronger enforcement to tackle dangerous riding, alongside tougher laws to stop dangerous high-powered e-bikes and conversion kits reaching our streets in the first place.

I’ll be presenting the petition in Parliament very soon, taking the strength of feeling in our communities directly to Westminster and pressing the Government to address this growing problem.

If you haven’t signed yet, please add your name before the deadline!

Have your say on how Pride in Place funding is spent in Lowestoft!

People who live, work or spend time in Central Lowestoft are being asked how £20 million of Pride in Place funding should be spent over the next ten years.

The Central Lowestoft Neighbourhood Board, which was appointed this summer, has launched a short survey. Residents, businesses and voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations can use it to tell the board their thoughts on the area and its future.

Take the survey using the link in the comments.

Have you played the Marmot Map of Opportunity game? Developed by the Marmot Place team it helps professionals put themselves in the shoes of local people facing challenges and inequality. This has led to new understanding, new partnership working and new approaches, all from a 60 min game!

East Suffolk are pioneering this work and some of the team will be teaching others at the national Heath Equity conference and the Climate East conference next week. The game will also be available to see at the East Suffolk Community Partnership Forum on the 24th October.

We have 10 copies of the game that we can lend to organisations or the team can come and facilitate a games session alongside learning about tackling inequality.

Community Safety - East Suffolk Council

As we approach the weekend, a reminder that we are continuing to clampdown on the use of e-scooters across Lowestoft.

Although they are sold in reputable outlets, they also use clear signage stating they cannot legally be used on public roads, pavements or cycle paths, except within authorised trial areas with the landowner’s consent. All road users that motorcycles, mopeds, e-scooters and e-bikes must be used in accordance with the law.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support OpWraxall by reporting concerns and providing information about those involved in antisocial and illegal activity. Your information genuinely helps us make a difference and target those causing issues in our communities.

Officers will continue to proactively target anti-social and unlawful vehicle use, helping to keep our roads and communities safe.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support policing activity across Lowestoft.

999 if there is an immediate danger to life or a crime is in progress.
Report via 101
Report online via Suffolk Constabulary's website
Continue sharing information through the dedicated Operation Wraxall email address. Please do not use this for live incidents. If there is an immediate danger, call 999.
