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.
