Having served as Deputy Mayor to Cllr David Rowe last year, I know I have a tough act to follow. I look forward to the challenge and am delighted to be supported by Cllr Darren Aitchinson, who will serve as Deputy Mayor.

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.
