Local Matters with David Ruffley MPIt is a great honour to have been elected Member of Parliamentfor Bury St Edmunds for the fourth time. I will continue to do mybest for all my constituents, regardless of the way in which theyvoted on 6 May.

One of my top priorities is to protect our local health services. Ihope the Government will cut health body quangos and I willcontinue to call for the abolition of the East of England StrategicHealth Authority. The resulting savings must be transferred to ourlocal health service so key frontline services, such as A&E at

West Suffolk Hospital, are maintained.

I shall do all I can to support the local economy. That means supporting existingbusinesses but also doing everything possible to attract new businesses to Suffolk. Iwant to work more imaginatively with our local councils and agencies to supportsmall to medium sized businesses, which will be the backbone of the economicrecovery in our region.

Rural businesses provide our villages with vital amenities. We need to create anenvironment in which they can thrive - in some cases with community involvement,a business model that is already proving successful.

The new Government faces many challenges. We have to accept that funding forlocal services is going to be tight. It is essential that we work together to squeezeevery ounce of value out of the funding we have at our disposal. I pledge to do allI can to support my constituents throughout this new Parliament.

David Ruffley MP

Will Pickles Fix Our Jam?

Last month I reported on the proposed 500 additional houses forMoreton Hall and the 1250 forCompiegne Way. Those and proposals for other sites have beensubmitted to the government who, inturn, sent a planning inspector to Buryto examine them.

I attended the examination to fightthe Moreton Hall corner and left feeling that I had probably beenheard but not optimistic that anythingwould be changed. Depressingly, theTaylor Wimpey representative

challenged the council in only proposing 500 houses as hecould see no reason why there shouldn't be many more. Ofcourse, he's only answerable to shareholders and has noconcern for anyone else. I suggested that if he wanted moreto occupy his workers, they could set about getting what theyhave already built up to adoption standards.

Latterly, there may be a glimmer of light in the gloom. Irecently watched the Daily Politics programme on TV whereAndrew Neil was quizzing Greg Clark, a local governmentminister, on the Big Society idea that government keeps onabout. You know, the bit where we all count and will be listened to. A rather sceptical Mr Neil asked the minister what

Cllr TrevorBeckwith

would happen if, for example, the government wanted tobuild houses but the local community objected. The ministerimplied they wouldn't be built. All very encouraging I thoughtand decided to write to Eric Pickles, the Secretary of State forCommunities and Local Government, suggesting that theMoreton Hall situation was a good chance for the Big Societyto be seen to work. Here we have a council who couldn'tcare less about the impact on the existing 6000 strong community so maybe Mr Pickles would like to intervene. Iawait his response and will keep the Flyer updated.

Any reasonable person can see that any infrastructureimprovements to cope with extra housing will be impossibleto attain. What can be done to the A14 junction? What canbe done to Eastgate Street and Mount Road? In reality, nothing of any significance can be done so the impact onthe east of Bury will be huge. Suffolk County Council hasfinally provided me with their possible solutions to make it allwork. You will love this! They will encourage a modal shiftfrom cars to public transport, bikes and walking. That shouldhelp when parents are trying to get to two different schools atthe same time and then to work anywhere in the county oreven further afield. They will discourage us from using theA14 for commuting from one side of town to the other. Iwonder how; border posts? Well, here's one person they won'tstop and I suspect there are many more. Now for the bestbit. They could make use of the gadget that fits to buses thatchanges the traffic lights in the bus's favour. So, picture thebus, without too many passengers as they mucked up theroutes last year, sitting in a mile long tail-back of single lanetraffic in Mount Road and Eastgate Street trying to changethe lights at Northgate Street. I suspect that there's no gadget on the market that will get that bus along any quicker.

We are at the mercy of dreamers who fantasise about theircar-free utopia and wall to wall housing. It really is a sourceof great comfort that my hard-earned taxes facilitate theirfreedom to dream while the rest of us suffer.

Please, please, Mr Pickles; sort them out before it's too late.You are making all the right noises so let's see some action.

Sorting the 'Can't Pays'from the Won't Pays!

Solicitors are often wrongly perceived asbeing expensive for debt recovery work.However formal letters of demand from aSolicitor will sort out the 'can't pays' fromthe 'won't pays!' Solicitors can issueproceedings to recover unpaid invoices,fixed costs and interest. Interest may berecovered at either the Court rate(currently 8%) from due date of payment,at your contractual rate in accordancewith your terms and conditions or under

the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) 1998. It isalso possible to recover compensation under the LatePayment legislation. If your unpaid invoice is for more than£5,000 interest will continue to accrue post Judgment.

If no response is received to the proceedings then Judgmentwill be obtained. A County Court Judgment is a Court Orderfor a fixed amount. The details of the Judgment are enteredon to The Register of Judgments, Order and Fines.This information is then passed onto credit referenceagencies, which will make it difficult for the debtor to gaincredit in the future.Once obtained it is possible to issue one of the followingenforcement proceedings:

Warrants - execution against goods - County Court bailiffs orthe High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEO's)

Charging order - placing a charge over the debtor's homeor business address

Third Party Debt Order (formerly known as a garnisheeorder) - obtaining monies owed to your debtor from a third party

Order to Obtain Information - obtaining your debtor'sfinancial details under oath

Attachment of earnings - debtor's employer pays regularinstalments to you via the Court

An experienced solicitor will advise you on the mostappropriate and cost-effective method of enforcement.

The new contract will save

money for the Suffolk Council Tax payer.Both councils are currently working on redesigning the bincollection rounds. Once this is completed we will tell house-holders and for most of them it will mean putting out theirbins on a different day, as well as possibly changing the weekthey put out their blue/brown and black bins.At this stage we are simply asking people to be aware thatthese changes are coming and encourage them to look outfor more specific information in early June.The councils will be targeting specific information to allhouseholders and will ensure that community groups, parishcouncils and landlords are aware that changes are comingin order that they can support residents.Information will be sent to individual households, put on tobins and there will also be a Freephone helpline availablenearer the time.
