A message from Susan
I very much enjoy being the Risby ward member which includes the villages of Risby, Flempton, Hengrave, Lackford. Culford, Icklingham, Ingham, West Stow and North Stow. Life is very busy and meeting and representing so many people is very rewarding and giving help where needed is very rewarding.
