Repair work to improve the defences at the Orfordness Lighthouse is under way.

The Orfordness Lighthouse Trust made 2016 the final year that it would be open to visitors due to the state of the eroded beach.

In a statement, the trust said: "We decided that the lighthouse had fared so well that it would be worthwhile to do some repair work to bolster the sea defences, or the bags of shingle wrapped in geo-textile material, otherwise known as 'sausage rolls'."

A spokesman for the trust said the recent tidal surge had not made things worse.

"As far as the lighthouse is concerned it had a positive outcome - shingle was deposited high on the beach above the normal high-water mark," he said.

Repair work started yesterday morning, and will continue all week.

A business has been given permission to double its number of wild boar, despite fears that they are "a danger to children".

The New England Boar Company, which is based near Haverhill on the border of Suffolk and Essex, already has permission to keep 55 of the animals - but wants to up the number to 131.

But a residents' group objected to the plans, saying: "Wild boar are a danger to children, pet dogs and the general public utilising the space around the wood."

Toby Wilson Waterworth, a campaigner who was at the meeting at Braintree District Council last night, said: "There did seem to be, we felt, a more favoured response towards the applicant, than actually was interested in hearing the concerns of the residents who turned up."

The New England Boar Company has so far been unavailable for comment.

A former health chief says he's "incredulous" as to why a patient stayed in hospital for two and a half years.

Adriano Guedes, who suffers paralysis after a stroke, was evicted from the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston last week, after being admitted on mental health grounds in 2014.

The James Paget said he was made repeated offers of accommodation, but he always turned them down. Mr Guedes said he wanted to move to a "wheelchair-friendly place". 

He's now living in a council flat in Suffolk and says he's been on hunger strike since 10 January.

Roy Lilley, a former NHS trust chairman for Surrey who's now a health commentator, says it was a "difficult" issue for the hospital, but there was "a lot of dots here that we can't join up".

"He's got an on-going health need," he said. "This is a responsibility for the health service, paid for by the clinical commissioning group who will be well used to dealing with this kind of case although it's rare.

"I'm incredulous to understand why it's not been resolved in two years."
