If you find it difficult to remember which Bin should be put out each week, here is a helpful Bin Collection Calendar that you can either print out to put on your fridge or save as an image to your smart phone.
Please note that recycling collections are changing in June 2026. Further information can be found at East Suffolk Council.
Excellent News…. The Parish Council now has all the funds to complete the Hollesley Play Park Project. Seven or eight additional pieces were originally requested by the Play Commissioners and these will all be installed very soon. Unfortunately, we have to acquire new costings for this equipment as the original quote is now out of date. However, we are fully confident any rise in costs can be accommodated and the project will be completed
Like all villages, Hollesley has an issue with some drivers ignoring the speed limits and driving too fast on our roads. However, a group of Hollesley residents are having an impact on these people.
Sorry to keep repeating ourselves but the message is simply not getting through to some residents. If you walk a dog on the Recreation Ground you must keep it on a lead and you must not take it within 5m of the Play Equipment.
Did you know, there is currently a vacancy on Hollesley Parish Council? Could you fill that seat?
By virtue of various pieces of legislation, the Parish Council is permitted to give grants to groups and organisations who provide a service or benefit to the community.

On 20th August 2021 Cllr. Andrew Reid (SCC Councillor for Wilford Ward), Cllr. Paul West (SCC Councillor and Cabinet Member for Highways) and Mr Peter Sparrow (SCC Highways Engineer) met with a resident of Hollesley to discuss a number of Highways related matters. The full report on these matters is here:
After discussion with East Suffolk Norse, Mr David Bracey and, most importantly, users of the old play equipment, a decision has been made NOT to relocate it to next to the new equipment. It was felt the old equipment would probably not withstand being taken apart and that surfacing would need to be renewed. It was also felt that this equipment was more suitable for very young children who may enjoy a less noisy play experience. Instead, we will now look to refurbish the old equipment to ‘spruce’ it up for a few more years.
Hollesley Parish Council recently engaged the services of Playgrounds Inspector, Mr David Bracey, to review the Hollesley Recreation Ground and make recommendations.
Hollesley Parish Council would like to correct any misunderstanding about decisions it has taken with regard to the village hall roof.
