earlier in Martlesham

sa 9 Nov 2019	We sought of knew that supermarkets were selling vinyl again but still a bit surprised to see it in the Martlesham Tesco. What next? Perhaps the Pharmacy will rename itself the Chemists and offer one hour film processing?
mo 25 Mar 2019	The Suffolk Constabulary start this year's monthly Safe Rider Workshops for motorcyclists at Martlesham Heath next month 5-6th April. The two day courses includes an escorted ride and lunch.
th 16 Aug 2018	The Martlesham Tesco really very busy today and a queue for the Wickham Market Coop car park ... is there something we don't know?
fr 5 Jan 2018	In total a squall of six burglaries today and yesterday in Ipswich, Melton and Martlesham. Officers are investigating if they are linked.
sa 30 Dec 2017	A Wickes has appeared seemingly overnight next to the Martlesham Tesco. That'll be nice, always found the Focus DIY on the retail park opposite handy and liked their own brand water based paints but they went bust in 2011.

th 10 Nov 2016	An older trolley pushing man at the Martlesham Tescos yesterday taking in the multiple police officers asked Are they real ones? Yes. Well they're the first I've seen in ten years. ... we think he was exaggerating a bit:) It was a training exercise for soon to be constables who exhibited impressive self confidence dealing with the public. Nice to know money is still available for training new blood.
tu 1 Mar 2016	Life Skills 9: Supermarkets that have a world food section (the Norwich Hartford Bridge Tesco has Nigerian 6% Guinness!) may have those large cellophane bags of ground spices at a pro rata one fifth the price of Schwartz refills. We decant them into large one time gherkin jars and even then the jars aren't big enough. Couldn't see any large bags in the Martlesham Tesco today but not surprisingly the Hackney Tesco does stock them.
we 17 Feb 2016	A tragic irony in two road crashes around Ipswich last week. Serious but not life threatening injuries from the scary looking crash in Foxhall Road Saturday night whilst a twenty month baby girl died in hospital after a Thursday lunchtime Martlesham crash that following drivers may have thought not serious.
sa 30 Jan 2016	It must be approaching twenty years since the Martlesham Tescos opened (not then an Extra). Cheap petrol meant you couldn't get onto the forecourt and we can remember thinking the BP garage opposite wouldn't last, it's still there though the tarmac by the entrance could do with some attention.

mo 20 Jan 2014	A police crime reduction event 10:00-3:00pm tomorrow outside Next Martlesham ... handy for Costa Coffee.
tu 5 Nov 2013	♫ That's a pity, after 13 years the organisers of Martlesham's Music on the Green have decided it's got too big and this year's was the last.
we 25 Sep 2013	Tools stolen in Martlesham at the end of last week.
fr 9 Aug 2013	Cops giving security advice 11am-3pm today outside the M&S Simply Food (didn't know there was one) Martlesham.
th 18 Apr 2013	near the coast seems to be coming out of its winter lock down. Tomorrow and Saturday there's the second bunch of Bikesafe courses at police hq Martlesham, Saturday evening we'll regretfully miss soprano Claire Weston's recital in Framlingham as we'll be at the Love Bout after party but Sunday we'll try for the Suffolk Mini Run ending in Aldeburgh and definitely Slice of Life's comedy evening in the St Mike's rooms.
su 17 Mar 2013	For Friday's Red Nose day Kesgrave's Cafe 66 had a cardinal cooking lunch and the local police pursued a comedy burglar through a Tesco Metro, boarded a number 66 bus to further pursue the miscreant through the grounds of police headquarters before capture in a Martlesham car park.

fr 7 Oct 2011	Not surprisingly house sales quiet near the coast except for Woodbridge.
su 22 May 2011	Saw a rabbit with myxomatosis on an A12 grass verge near Martlesham yesterday, it really is the most unpleasant disease.
tu 22 Feb 2011	Judging by the signs around Waldringfeld and Newbourne they are pretty annoyed by BT's proposed 2,000 house development but at the Suffolk Land Rover Owners' Club off road course the object was the pursuit of fun. Last time we visited it was dry and sandy but Sunday it was very suitably muddy with Landys getting stuck and a Range Rover that rolled on to its side ... all mostly ignored by the pigs in the field next door. On the way back we saw the Melton Horse and Groom is still shut and in the Campsea Dog and Duck no lunch but good company.
tu 25 Jan 2011	The Suffolk constabulary is a small force with no dog breeding programme and just about all its police dogs are rescue dogs. Rescue dogs do tend to have "issues" so it's much to the training and handlers' credit that the force's 22 dogs enjoy rewarding lives and perform valuable service. Surprisingly a dog van might contain both a general duties Alsatian and a specialist sniffer dog, though they do each have a private compartment. We learnt this today at police hq in Martlesham where there was a media show and tell in anticipation of the national police dog trials in April at the Trinity showground just up the road a bit.
th 6 Jan 2011	Blimey! Three dozen (yes 36!) samurai swords stolen in Martlesham.

fr 30 Apr 2010	Coastal Suffolk Conservative candidate Therese (it's French) Coffey lives in Westleton so she can't get Channel 5 or Freeview and no doubt rubbish broadband. When she asked BT why near the coast broadband is so rubbish so close to BT's research centre they said Oh, their broadband is rubbish too. We found out yesterday at the Martlesham Black Tiles that Therese has stood as an mp once before, her rescued dog Rizzo is very patient, when she ordered the panini she hadn't realised it came with chips, and is very aware this time round she's not a shoo in. More pix on Facebook
we 27 Jan 2010	Cash found in the Martlesham Tescos, lost by a tall lady?
tu 26 Jan 2010	Quite a jolly last night when we visited the Suffolk Constabulary headquarters for a tour of the control room, artificially overfull with journalists but absolutely stuffed with computer screens some providing tv news channels so the ops know what's happening in the world.
mo 7 Dec 2009	What was a Little Chef on the Tesco's roundabout at Martlesham is now a drive through KFC.
su 9 Aug 2009	Cracking day at Newbourne near Martlesham for the Suffolk Land Rover Owners' Club Charity Driving Day. The title may not trip off the tongue but it's free parking, free entry and £1.50 gets you a ride round their dramatic off road course, those of a younger persuasion can drive electric mini Landys on their own course plus all the usual stuff, cream teas, stalls, raffle. Organised by a pleasant bunch of just a teensy bit mad enthusiasts in aid of Cancer Campaign in Suffolk we can't wait for an invitation back later in the year when it's muddy.
su 12 Jul 2009 Music on the Green	Had no idea that Martlesham's Music on the Green was such a big thing and a freebie; big crowd, loads of food vans (was tempted by the chow mein) and Boulevard Blonde got people large and small on their feet.
tu 5 May 2009	32 year old man missing from St Clements, Ipswich might be camping in the Woodbridge/Martlesham area.
tu 10 Jun 2008	The Specials Evening last night at Police HQ was the hottest ticket in town. Chief Inspector Terry Byford said she'd never seen such a turn out of potential new specials; maybe it's because, unlike Radio Suffolk, you get biscuits. When we arrived Sergeant Didntgethisname said "Take a seat". "He's a bit optimistic" we thought but no, there's no upper age limit for specials and you don't have to be a British citizen just resident in the UK.
we 4 Jun 2008	Monday there's a come one come all info evening at Police HQ, Martlesham about becoming a Special.
we 23 Apr 2008	The Darsham garage was broken into Monday night and a load of cigarettes stolen, and a wallet pinched in the Martlesham Tescos turns up in Sudbury.
