Martlesham Flyer July 2023
The July edition of the Martlesham Flyer is here, and it’s packed with news and events from around the parish.
Martlesham Council
In this month’s edition, Martlesham Council is sharing an update on their work to improve nature and biodiversity in the area. The council is participating in an inter-parish Green Infrastructure Workshop on 30th August, and they’re also asking residents to become play inspectors.
Martlesham in Bloom
Martlesham in Bloom is also in the news this month, as they’re gearing up for their annual flower show. The show will be held on 17th September, and it’s a great opportunity to see some of the best gardening in the area.
Other local groups
In addition to Martlesham Council and Martlesham in Bloom, there are also a number of other local groups featured in this month’s edition of The Martlesham Flyer.
To find out more about these events and groups view our latest issue.
Tree of the Month – Horse chestnut tree (Aesculus hippocastanum)
This glorious horse chestnut tree (Aesculus hippocastanum) can be found in Top Street next to the public footpath near the mini roundabout. This photograph was taken in late May when it unfailingly brings pleasure to many as it carries thousands of tall panicles (candles) of white flowers. This tree is also special as it was planted in 1939 to celebrate the marriage of Cllr O’Brien Baker’s parents.
Play inspectors needed
If you regularly visit any of our play areas or the bike trails, please consider becoming a play inspector. Training and support is available from the Council and our experienced and friendly volunteer inspectors. Use the enquiries email below if you would like to know more.
