Town Council Budget Delayed
Haverhill Town Council's budget vote has been delayed. This week's full council agreed to delay the decision to allow talks with St. Edmundsbury Council. St Edmundsbury have cut the grant given to the town council by £12,000 but have agreed to talks on how to help support town council services.

While on the subject of Haverhill arts, I thought I would remind everyone of the Face of Haverhill 2000. An electronic arts project created in Haverhill and now touring europe. The face is a morphed picture of Haverhill residents. Details of the project can be found at www.haverhill2000.com
