The Parish Council are the Trustees of the Village Hall, which is run as a charity, with a working committee made up of parishioners and councillors.  The Playing Field is also run with a similar committee.

Blaxhall Parish Council are the official owners of Blaxhall Common (or Heath) which is a designated SSSI  and has been so for nearly twenty years.  The Common makes up part of the Sandlands that follows the coast from Southwold to Martlesham Heath, Ipswich. On the common you will find Nightjars and Nightingales breeding in spring, also there are Green Tiger beetles, Sand Wasps and others having adapted to the heath conditions, that without they would all die out.   Muntjac are solitary animals and can be regularly seen along with Roe Deer roaming in herds.  

Parish Plan

In January 2003 the Parish Council held an open public meeting to discuss views and suggestions on the idea of a parish plan being funded by The Countryside Agency.  After an informative talk by Annette Grey from Suffolk Acre a group of volunteers formed a committee and started work under the chairmanship of Mr Mackenzie.  This was completed within 18 months.
