Work to clear pigeon droppings from redundant buildings on Ipswich Waterfront is now well underway - with surveyors set to prepare plans to convert them once finished.
The work is being carried out by specialists from Suffolk company CDC, which is a familiar sight pulling down buildings altogether.
