Just days after the government confirmed that Ipswich would be getting £25m as part of the Towns Deal Fund, the borough is taking the first steps towards pressing ahead with one of the most significant elements of its proposed developments.
It is preparing to appoint specialists to clean up the interior of the former Paul s Specialist Maltings silo between Stoke Bridge and Dance East which has been empty for more than a decade.
The inside of the building is so seriously contaminated with pigeon droppings that it has been impossible for anyone to get inside to examine the structure - and the cost could run into six figures.

A £25million windfall for Ipswich from the government s Towns Deal Fund has been hailed as a fantastic boost which will have a transformative effect on its regeneration after Covid.
However, business and political leaders warned that after previous attempts to revamp the town: This time our approach must be different if we want to get it right.
The giant windfall was confirmed in the Budget on Wednesday.
It will enable work to be carried out on 11 projects, mainly in the town centre and Waterfront areas, which will be aimed at pump-priming a recovery in its fortunes after the shock of the Covid crisis.
