Local MP, Dr Dan Poulter, was delighted to visit the Woodbridge and District Branch of the Riding for the Disabled Annual Open Day in Clopton, where he very much enjoyed meeting the hardworking team of volunteers, riders and, of course, the horses and ponies themselves.

A sunny Sunday August afternoon saw Dan at Brundish Village Fete where he met with local residents and enjoyed a well supported community event.

Dan visited the busy Wickham Market Street Fair on Saturday 17th August and enjoyed sampling the many stalls. He was very interested in seeing the pictorial history of Wickham Market which showed historical photographs of the village.

The Bengal Restaurant in Wickham Market was recently rated as Highly Commended in the prestigious Tiffin Cup competition and narrowly missed out on being selected to represent its region in the Grand Final of the Tiffin Cup 2019.

Following a devastating fire in 2013, the historic George Public House in Wickham Market has remained closed ever since, with the community desperate to have it restored and returned as a much loved community pub and asset.
