Community leaders in Southwold have insisted that £3million plans to build new office and retail units at a business hub in the town are still going forward .
Southwold Town Council’s scheme to create the hub, also known as the Station Yard Development, would involve revamping several council-owned buildings on the corner of Station Road and Blyth Road.
The site is set for a major transformation that would replace the buildings in a scheme that councillors have said could create up to 90 jobs.
In September 2019, Southwold Town Council secured a grant of £995,000 from the government’s Coastal Communities Fund to help pay for the redevelopment.

Southwold has proved the inspiration for a well-known London hotel, which hopes to emulate the town s signature style to entice customers back next month.
The Berkeley in Knightsbridge has picked the Suffolk seaside town as one of its inspirations for its outdoor dining area this summer.
In recent years the hotel has taken to changing its outdoor décor; last year it had a Mediterranean theme, this year the hotel has gone for a theme which is much closer to home.
