Joanne and Stephen Ball have lived with their three daughters at 9 Broad Road, The Green, Lt. Thurlow for the past eight years.

Joanne is a factory operative and Stephen is a house husband, running the home and caring for the children. Gemma goes to Castle Manor school, Vicky-Jo to Parkway in Haverhill and Sammy goes to Thurlow primary school.

They all enjoy living in a quiet and pretty place which is safe for children to grow up in. Both feel that the cost of having to run a car to shop and get to work is a negative aspect of living here.

They have seen no major changes since coming to Thurlow.
