Sudbury CAB on the move

Belle Vue House

After over 30 years in Belle Vue House in Sudbury, Citizens' Advice, where I was involved for some years, is on the move.

The anticipated redevelopment of the Belle Vue site is probably to blame, and it seems that the Bureau has not been able to find a permanent home as yet.

With help from Babergh District Council (which always guaranteed to accommodate the Bureau in the event of changes at Belle Vue) the organisation is to move into temporary offices from 18th July.

The bureau advises clients as follows:

'During this interim period, our Chief Officer Colleen Sweeney, her staff and team of volunteers will all be working to achieve as full a service as possible, though inevitably there will be disruptions and a regrettable cessation of the drop-in service that we currently offer.  To reduce the impact of this, greater use will be made of our telephone support service.

We are asking people to telephone for advice or to arrange appointments on 01787 374671 between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm Monday to Friday

The temporary arrangements for appointments are as follows:

Monday and Friday each week from 10.00 am to 2.00 pm at the Job Centre Plus in Borehamgate. 

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 10.00 am to 2.00pm at South Suffolk Business Centre, Alexandra Road, Sudbury, CO10 2ZX. This will also be our temporary venue for Money Advice appointments on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Administration will be from offices in Sandringham Court, Sudbury.

Our telephone number 01787 374671 will remain the same, and details of our services will be regularly updated on our website www.sudburycab.org.uk.  The outreach service to Hadleigh will be unaffected'.

For emergency advice, the national AdviceLine should be called on 0300 330 1151.
