Mayor's February Update

January was a quieter month for Mayoral engagements, although there is still a lot going on in relation to Town Council meetings, and it looks like it is beginning to get busier. One highlight of January was opening The Range. It’s great to see a new store open in Felixstowe, and positive that the store did not stand empty for long. This end of Felixstowe will surely receive a welcome boost, as Sainsbury’s is soon to open in the premises previously occupied by the Co-Op next to Great Eastern Square.
