Committees

Triangle Market Working Group

The Triangle Market Working Group are looking at establishing a reoccurring market at the Triangle Market.

The members of this Working Group are: Wendy Brooks, Paul Page, Graham Parker, Keith Patience, Andy Pearce and Elise Youngman. 

As a direct result of the climate emergency declaration, a cross-party Environment Task Group was established to analyse policies inherited from East Suffolk’s predecessor’s (Suffolk Coastal and Waveney District Councils) to ensure these policies are fit for purpose and identify areas for improvement.

The Environment Task Group meets quarterly, reporting to Cabinet where issues are then discussed to decide if a feasibility study is required.

By adopting a climate emergency, the council has begun to thread the environment through all decisions, choices and policy formation.

Over the years I have volunteered and worked in the local community and enjoy putting something back into society and helping others. I have great personal satisfaction in volunteering to be a bell ringer in Hollesley and I was honoured recently to be invited to the join the Suffolk Guild of Ringers.

Having always been aware of the natural world, I appreciate the Deben ward is a special area to live and work.

 I am keen to bring a greener, sustainable outlook to the Town Council and to Lowestoft. I will work to the best of my ability to represent the town and the ward.

The Climate Emergency Committee has been set up as part of the Council’s response to declaring a climate emergency and all responsibilities are focused on determining achievable changes to the Council’s activities as far as is practicable and proportionate

I am a Green Party Councillor representing Elmtree Ward. I am involved in several community organisations working in and around our town.

I have lived in Lowestoft for 34 years. After moving from London with my parents, I used to manage a cycle shop in Oulton Broad and in recent years I have been working in a customer service role with the local authority, having previously been on Committees for Lowestoft BMX club and Gorleston Football Club.

The Suffolk Wildlife Trust’s Carlton Marshes, where I am a volunteer, is a good example of how through team effort and investment an inspiring outcome can be achieved for the good of the environment and the community. This is the type of partnership that Lowestoft needs to thrive.

I  feel that it is so important that the Town Council looks to the future, engages with young people and their interests, as well as looking to the past to enable a lasting and active legacy to be created within our town.
