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 seaside town in Kent is to receive £22.2m of funding to give its economy a much-needed boost and help the area thrive.
The money, awarded to Thanet District Council, will be used to help the Margate community flourish by providing opportunities for those living there and make the town realise its full potential .

The announcement was made as part of the Chancellor s Budget statement yesterday.
The scheme aims to support urban regeneration, skills development and improved connectivity by giving each place its own Town Deal.
A board was created, including North Thanet MP Sir Roger Gale and chief executive of East Kent College Graham Razey, and an investment plan submitted last year as part of its bid.
