Announcements

Do you know anyone who has lost an Iguana?

Can you believe that one (about 12 inches long) has been found wandering around in the woods.

If by any chance you know of anybody contact the webmanager and we will put them in touch with the person who found it and is looking after it.

Sadly this is someone's pet so I hope we can reunite owner and pet.

Local phone scam - beware

Be advised that there is an on-going telephone scam to residents here on the Heath. You may receive a call from somebody purportedly on behalf of BT. He will inform you that you will shortly be receiving full written details of a ' bargain offer ' package about tel. / internet provision. He will then ask you to confirm' your bank details DO NOT DO IT.

BT have confirmed it is a scam and Martlesham Heath IS being targeted.

Scam e-mail warning

Suffolk police have today received a report regarding a scam email from HM Revenue & Customs stating that the recipient is eligible for a tax rebate.

The false email address is securemail-at-hmrc.gov.uk, once in the email you are asked to click on a link and a list of banks will appear. After selecting your bank you are then asked to input your bank details.

HM Revenue & Customs have been contacted and have confirmed that the email HAS NOT been sent by them.

If you receive one of these emails please delete it, do not enter any of your personal details. If you are unsure whether the email is authentic please contact HM Revenue & Customs.

Martlesham Internet Radio

Would anyone be interested in helping to start up an experimental internet radio service for Martlesham?

The initial purpose of this service (assuming the permission of the organisations involved), would be to allow local events - potentially including church services, public meetings of the Parish Council, free live music events etc, to be streamed live over the internet, to the houses of people unable to attend these events in person. The concept could clearly be extended to include other forms of audio entertainment produced locally, e.g. commentaries on local sporting fixtures, and many other kinds of material by or about local residents.
