Blaxhall Ship Faces Change of Use - Again
Your help is needed to Save The Ship Inn, in Blaxhall, Suffolk, England. Many of you will, I hope, have heard of Blaxhall Ship, famous for its traditional Suffolk songs and step dancing.

Despite past reassurances to keep Blaxhall Ship open, the owners have submitted a new planning application (ref C06/2323) for change of use to a guesthouse, which would close Blaxhall Ship forever - and this is where we need your help.

If you object to the proposal, please write to:
Mr P J Ridley,
Head of Planning Services
Suffolk Coastal District Council, Melton Hill, Woodbridge, Suffolk IP12 1AU. Fax: 01394 385100

Every letter counts and it is vital that as many people as possible write to object if we are to save The Ship Inn from closing. The letters should reach Suffolk Coastal District Council by 24th January 2007.

Further details can be found on Suffolk Coastal District Council website: www.suffolkcoastal.gov.uk

I see that the deadline has passed -- I hope that the word got out sufficiently to make a difference.
