Over the last 16 months, countless people in Suffolk have gone the extra mile by helping others, such as volunteering, doing the shopping for a friend or putting a neighbour's bins out.
Saying thank you to people who have helped means a great deal, which is why the latest stage of the 'Suffolk Says Thanks' campaign is about celebrating everyday acts of kindness by presenting people with a specially designed pin badge.

The concept has been attributed to Lauren O'Farrell (who creates her street art under the graffiti knitting name Deadly Knitshade), from London, who founded the city's first graffiti knitting collective Knit the City. The 'stitched story concept' uses handmade amigurumi creatures, characters, and items to tell a narrative or show a theme in 2013.

The Commercial Vehicle Unit (CVU) went live on 23 November 2020 and provide specialist enforcement, knowledge and investigative capability in respect of commercial vehicle activity, alongside contributing towards improving the safety of all those using the roads in Suffolk.
Work is due to begin today to fix sinkhole which has opened up in the middle of Felixstowe.
