As we've been telling you this morning, comments were made on social media after Sherry Doran got stuck at Buttsbury Wash with her one-year-old son in the car, near Ingatestone, on Sunday evening.

Comments included "stupidity knows no bounds" and "complete idiot". One comment was made by an Essex Fire and Rescue service worker who has since been sacked.

The fire service said it took immediate action as it "does not tolerate derogatory language against members of the public".

Ms Doran said she lives in Suffolk and was "unfamiliar" with the roads.

She said: "I've read several derogatory comments online which have only added upset to what was already a distressing incident."

Referring to the 23 people on the footage who are still unidentified, Nicola Urqhart said: "Some of these people you would probably only recognise them if it was yourself.

"Quite a few of them I would think should be easily identifiable, so the police agreed to put this pod up.

"There's no way each and every one of those 23 people has got something [or] anything to do with Corrie's disappearance... but we still don't know who they are."

The organisation that runs the Ipswich foodbank, external needs your help.

Families in Need (FIND) has been renting premises from the East of England Co-op for the past six years, but the land is now needed for redevelopment.

Maureen Reynel from FIND says: "Perhaps there is something in Ipswich that is suitable for us.

"It can't be a 'High Street', it isn't just a room, it isn't just a shop that we need. 

"We need more than that - Ipswich without a foodbank - you can't even think about the issues that that would cause.

In a statement, Nick Denny from the East of England Co-op says FIND's present premises were offered on a temporary lease six years ago: "We have since offered alternative accommodation, and have been told that none of our commercial properties quite meet their needs."

Suffolk County councillors have sat down at Endeavour House this afternoon to return to the complex subject of devolution.

They voted to seek more discussions with government, with the aim of producing an alternative Suffolk-based plan. 

This follows the collapse of a devolution deal with Norfolk last week.

There was little anger towards the Norfolk councillors who undermined that deal, but some criticism of the "charade" that had been the negotiations with government; one described the chain of events as a Brian Rix farce, alluding to the 1960s comic stage plays.

Council leader Colin Noble said he saw it as an opportunity, not a set back, with the aim of driving forward the county's economy.

Suffolk County Council has voted to support pursuing a devolution deal for Suffolk.

Concerns have been raised that construction of a new nuclear power station at Sizewell will have an adverse effect on the nearby Minsmere nature reserve.

The stage 2 consultation, external on Sizewell C starts today.

Su Swallow, from the Theberton and Eastbridge Action Group, said visitors may be deterred from visiting the site during the construction of the power station.

"We may well find that over a period of 10 years of construction they will be impacted by congestion, by the noise, and find it difficult," she said.

"We wonder whether they will be so deterred that after a decade they may not come back. It will be hard to persuade them to come back."
