Jubilee Park Master Plan
The results of the extensive Neighbourhood Plan and other Jubilee Park consultations have fed in to the Master Plan which comprises a series of outcomes to be delivered by the Parish Council over the short term, medium term and longer term. These include additional play area equipment, the outdoor gym, 5-a-side football pitch, skatepark, seating to name but a few.
Climate Emergency Action Plan
The development of the Action Plan will provide the blueprint for Parish Council to ensure that the climate and nature restoration goals are at the forefront of their decision making process.
Christmas Lights
The first Christmas Lights display was launched in December 2011 in the village square. Following on from its success it has become an annual event which launches the start of the festive season.
Rendlesham Show
Following on from the hugely successful Diamond Jubilee Celebrations in June 2012, the Parish Council now holds an annual summer show on the second weekend of June each year (Covid permitting). Due to Covid, our shows for 2020 and 2021 had to be cancelled, but watch this space in 2022, when the show will return on June 10th/11th.
Santa's Grand Tour
New for 2020, the Tour was a huge success which saw Santa visit every street in the main part of the village in his sleigh.
Teddy Bear’s Picnic
New for 2020 the picnic took place on a lovely summer’s day and was another Covid safe event supported by the Rendlesham Community Radio to bring some sort of normality and enjoyment to residents during the Covid restrictions.
Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Bunny Visit
New for 2020 as the first Covid lockdown was introduced, the Parish Council arranged a very successful Covid safe Easter Egg Hunt around the village, with participants each receiving a visit from the Easter Bunny on Easter Sunday.
Rendlesham Community Radio Station
The Rendlesham Community Radio came about as a result of the first lockdown in March 2020 with the aim to ‘connect the community’. It has regular shows with more being added all the time and supports all the Parish Council events, broadcasting live as well as offering opportunities to budding DJs.
Safer Rendlesham Project
The Council support the setting up of Neighbourhood Watch Schemes, and operate the Community Speedwatch Scheme. The Scheme has also been responsible for attracting the Police Mobile Speed Camera to the outskirts of the village in an attempt to slow down traffic along on the A1152. 2021 will see the installation of a Speed Indicator Device to raise awareness of speed and encourage safer driving.
Youth Group Charity
The Parish Council is the Charity Trustee of the Rendlesham Youth Group Charity. Junior sessions for the under 11s are held in the Community Centre every Tuesday during school term-time, and two senior sessions are held for the over 13s every Wednesday and Thursday term-time only. The sessions are constantly under review and change from time to time to suit the age groups using the youth services. Due to Covid the Youth Group sessions are currently suspended.
