A Punch pub boss has defended its decision to try and demolish the White Horse in Felixstowe and replace it with a shop, flats and houses.
East Suffolk council planners have so far received more than 185 objections to Punch Pub's application to demolish the White Horse public house in Old Felixstowe and for the erection of a convenience store on the ground floor and four apartments on the first floor, and the erection of two bungalows with associated parking and landscaping.
Monday's Motivation
The first Victoria Cross, Britain's highest medal for bravery, was awarded to Charles Lucas, in 1854 who was awarded it during the Crimean War for conspicuous bravery. The medal was made from metal from a cannon captured at Sebastopol. The Victoria Cross was extended to colonial troops in 1867 and to date a total of 1,358 Victoria Crosses have been awarded. Paratrooper Lance corporal Joshua Leakey was the most recent recipient in 2015 for bravery in Afghanistan.
As part of an ongoing drive to build the right environment for East Suffolk, a new campaign is being launched to help people get their recycling right.
East Suffolk Council is launching a new recycling campaign across its social media channels to get a better understanding of how much residents know about recycling in East Suffolk and what the Council can do to help when it comes to knowing what goes into what bin.

The Summer Solstice occurs when one of the earth's poles has its maximum tilt toward the sun, so therefore it reaches its highest position in the sky and is the day with the longest period of daylight.
