On 29th March 2023 JBP held a drop-in event at the Wesley Café in Elmswell regarding a potential care home / retirement village for Elmswell in Mid Suffolk. The purpose of the consultation exercise was to invite members of the public to discuss the need for a potential specialist residential facility in the village. It was a successful and insightful afternoon, with a positive turn out from the local community, including attendance from Ward Members, Parish Councillors, neighbouring residents, and local residents. The feedback received on the day will help inform any next steps, in the very early stages of a specialist project.
