The comments come after Suffolk Chamber of Commerce said it would look at how delays on the A14 impacted business investment and job creation.

Councillor Jeremy Pursehouse, chairman of the housing committee, said members were "incredibly proud of the diverse range of affordable rented homes we have added to our housing portfolio".He said the authority had plans to provide a further 200 homes over the next five years.

The new housing includes 75 homes built on previously underused council land and 19 more homes that will soon be completed.Ten existing homes have been renovated to meet modern standards under a refurbishment programme.Fourteen homes have been bought back and reacquired into council ownership.

And 13 homes have been purchased for resettled refugees and homeless people under the local authority housing fund.Cllr Pursehouse said: "This milestone is a testament to our continuing commitment to provide high quality, affordable housing."

In a week's time, many people across England will cast a vote in their local council elections.

They will not be taking place across most of Surrey because of a significant reorganisation of local government.Education Secretary Lynne Neagle said postponing the change until the next Senedd term would let schools focus on other major improvements.

She admitted "opinion was hugely divided" on the issue, which had been strongly opposed by teaching unions, as well as organisers of Wales’ biggest agricultural show The Royal Welsh, and some tourist attractions.If the proposals had gone ahead, the half term break in October 2025 would have been extended to a fortnight, with a five week rather than six week holiday in summer 2026.

Eithne Hughes, director of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) Cymru, said it was "disappointing" the issue has been given such a high priority by the Welsh government, branding it an "unwelcome distraction and an enormous waste of time"."We are relieved that this decision has been made, although calling it a 'pause' sounds like a face-saving exercise as it is surely pointless to go round this loop again.
