Have you played the Marmot Map of Opportunity game? Developed by the Marmot Place team it helps professionals put themselves in the shoes of local people facing challenges and inequality. This has led to new understanding, new partnership working and new approaches, all from a 60 min game!

East Suffolk are pioneering this work and some of the team will be teaching others at the national Heath Equity conference and the Climate East conference next week. The game will also be available to see at the East Suffolk Community Partnership Forum on the 24th October.

We have 10 copies of the game that we can lend to organisations or the team can come and facilitate a games session alongside learning about tackling inequality.

Community Safety - East Suffolk Council

As we approach the weekend, a reminder that we are continuing to clampdown on the use of e-scooters across Lowestoft.

Although they are sold in reputable outlets, they also use clear signage stating they cannot legally be used on public roads, pavements or cycle paths, except within authorised trial areas with the landowner’s consent. All road users that motorcycles, mopeds, e-scooters and e-bikes must be used in accordance with the law.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support OpWraxall by reporting concerns and providing information about those involved in antisocial and illegal activity. Your information genuinely helps us make a difference and target those causing issues in our communities.

Officers will continue to proactively target anti-social and unlawful vehicle use, helping to keep our roads and communities safe.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support policing activity across Lowestoft.

999 if there is an immediate danger to life or a crime is in progress.
Report via 101
Report online via Suffolk Constabulary's website
Continue sharing information through the dedicated Operation Wraxall email address. Please do not use this for live incidents. If there is an immediate danger, call 999.
