We hope you find this site both useful and informative.

Kedington is a village of around 1800 residents, situated between Clare and Haverhill in the south-west corner of Suffolk. The City of Cambridge and towns of Newmarket and Bury St. Edmunds are all about 30 minutes away by road.  

There are several shops, including a post office and butcher in the centre of the village, but if you need to go further afield, then there are buses that go to Haverhill, Cambridge and Bury St. Edmunds, several times a day. We also have a library, a couple of pubs and a doctor's surgery.   

The village boasts many organisations catering for lots of interests and most can be found on the 'Clubs and Organisations' page within this site.

The new Local Development Framework Consultation documents have been published and they include a document on Site Allocations. The only site listed for Kedington is a piece of land behind the Limes (opposite West End Lane) and stretching across to Dash End Lane. However, this does not necessarily mean that the site will be considered for development. The consultation ends on the 5th January and you have the opportunity to raise your support for or objections against the proposal. More information can be obtained from libraries and Council offices in the Borough.

There is also a meeting at Samuel Ward School on Monday 17 November from 7 - 9pm or Wednesday 19 November at the Athenaeum in Bury St. Edmunds from 7pm - 9pm. If you wish to attend please call Jackie Ward from the St. Edmundsbury Planning Policy dept. on 01284 757364.
