ANNOUNCEMENTS

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has implemented a fully automated mail sorting system to process your letters and packages more efficiently. With this implementation, all military addresses were adjusted to meet the "Plus 4" automated mail system requirements.

To find your new "Plus 4" portion of your ZIP Code, please go to the following link and complete all required fields, or check the attached chart: https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction!input.action

If you have any further questions, please contact the RAF Lakenheath Post Office at 226-2370.

GSA Store closing

As of May 1, 2013 the RAF Lakenheath GSA Store closed its doors. RAF Lakenheath moved away from the "GSA store" model due to cost effectiveness and manning concerns. Items sold are available at the GSA advantage catalog and online store. Questions or concerns in regards to this matter can be directed to MSgt Daniel Guzman at 226-2598/5471 daniel.guzman@lakenheath.af.mil.

A11 construction and closure times

A full carriageway closure of B1112, 24 hours per day will last for approximately 18 months. There will be no access from the A11 onto the B1112, but access to local businesses and residents will be possible from both the A1065 and the A1101. There will also be a temporary speed restriction of 40mph on the sections of B1112, which will be accessible for residents and businesses for the safety of road users and the work force.

Kids on the Move is a free program intended to help children become more active and change their approach to exercise. The program is offered year-round, and is open to children ages 4 - 12. Children older than 12 years old are welcome to participate as volunteers, helpers or team leaders.
