A senior Ipswich councillor wants the Government to compensate residents for money spent preparing for local government reorganisation, after ministers axed the reforms.

Every Ipswich landline starts with 01473. From today, so does the town's only youth-led media brand. Launched in partnership with Suffolk New College, edited by a 23-year-old from Chantry, and written entirely by and for 16-29-year-olds, 1473 is setting out to define the culture of young Ipswich.

Police are continuing to search for three-year-old Noah Woods, who went missing in Brantham yesterday afternoon.

A Suffolk New College lecturer from Kesgrave, who has already completed 58 marathons and raised around £100k for charity, is taking on his toughest challenge yet – 13 half-marathons in 13 days – after being inspired by a fellow runner who completed the London Marathon carrying a fridge on his back.

Businesses, residents, the council and police will spend five days scrubbing, sweeping, pressure washing and fining their way across Ipswich town centre from Monday. Ipswich Central, the town's BID, says the campaign is about pride, not blame – but the real test is what happens next.
