Parish Council
Volunteers who have signed up to be part of the Community Speed Watch Initiative in Barham are now successfully undergoing training.
Barham Parish Council would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to
Simon Marsh - Highways Assurance for his support and funding towards
DK9 Security when they carried out the patrols in Barham.
The local business man made generous financial contributions
towards the cost of this which helped the Parish Council greatly.
Week 5th July and DK9 Security carried out their last week of work for Barham.
However they had nothing to report, it was a very quiet week for them.
It has been agreed by Barham Parish Council not to renew the DK9 contract, this is due to
the lack of funds which the Parish Council currently has budgeted for the service.
However, its been a good job done by the security team who have helped to make the parish a safer
place to live, visit and work in. Let us hope it remains that way too.
Thank you DK9 Security for all you have done, I am sure you will be greatly missed.

Barham Parish Council has instructed Suffolk County Council to keep the street lights in Barham switched on during the night.
The reason being that it was reported to the Parish Council by DK9 Security, that to prevent anti social behaviour and crime
it would be useful to keep the lights turned on.
