Suffolk is set to continue on its path of working towards full capacity at recycling centres as Monday 19 July brings the end to lockdown with restrictions easing.

Much like many other recycling centres across the country, Suffolk's Recycling Centres, including Felixstowe's Carr Road, have been operating a socially distanced system during the pandemic.

Prime Minster Boris Johnson announced that nearly all legal social distancing measures in England will be lifted on Monday, 19 July as the country moves to the final stages of Covid easing.

The announcement comes as a number of people in the Felixstowe area are self isolating after either being tested positive, or being pinged by the NHS, saying they had been in close contact with an infected person.

A London Eye style ferris wheel is being planned for Felixstowe seafront.

The 34.5m (approx 105ft) high observation will offer views across the resort's bay across the North Sea to Sealand, over Landguard Point, and the docks towards Harwich and the Shotley peninsula.

Ashley Shorey-Mills previously worked for a number of retailers in key management positions, including for Hughes Electrical. His knowledge of working within complicated and time-dependent supply chains gives him an especially important role in ensuring as many local and regional companies are as ready as possible for the opportunities afforded by the building of a new nuclear power station at Sizewell C on the Suffolk coast once the scheme is approved.
