Stowmarket Town Council

You Spoke, We Listened! The Town Rangers rolled up their sleeves this week to tackle the alleyway next to Combs Ford Primary School! With mud, leaves and overhanging branches out of the way, it has turned it into a safer, cleaner path for children and families heading to school. A big thank you to everyone for their continued support—we love making our town a better place, one clean-up at a time!

👀 Did you spot the Town Rangers in Combs Ford this week? 👀 They've been out and about along Ipswich Road and near the new Police & Fire Station clearing overgrown vegetation and reclaiming footpaths and cycle paths making the area safer for everyone. Keep your eyes peeled next week as the Town Rangers work continues in the Combs Ford area! ✨ #TownRangers #CommunityCare #CleanerGreenerStowmarket

🌿 Caring for Our Community Spaces 🌿 Continuing from last week, our Town Rangers have been busy at the New Cemetery this week, clearing overgrowth and trimming trees to help prepare the area for Spring. While grave owners are responsible for the upkeep of memorials, we understand that some family members or friends may no longer be able to care for them. As part of their work this week, the Town Rangers have stepped in to ensure these areas remain well-maintained and respectful. Next week, the team will be in the Combs Ford area. Keep an eye out for the Town Ranger van as they continue making Stowmarket cleaner and greener! 🌱 #TownRangers #CommunityCare #Stowmarket #CleanerGreenerStowmarket
