Suffolk Police, external will have to pay money back to Ipswich Town Football Club, external after overcharging the club for match day policing.

The club has campaigned through the courts for compensation, saying it was asked to pay far too much for police doing their public duty away from the Portman Road stadium. 

A High Court judge has ruled the force had no power to demand money for policing in other areas of the town. 

It's now hoped the club and constabulary can agree on a final settlement.

We'll bring you reaction from both parties as and when we get it.

In all, 38 people were killed when an Islamist gunman opened fire at a hotel in Sousse on 26 June 2015.

Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith said the gunman had been intent on killing as many tourists as he could.

He said he would rule that all 30 Britons were "unlawfully killed".

Philip Heathcote, from Felixstowe, and Stuart Cullen, from Lowestoft, died in the attack.

Work will begin early next year on a new roundabout, to replace the existing T-junction of the A146 and B1136 at Hales, near Loddon.

The A146, which runs between Norwich and Lowestoft, has seen increasing levels of traffic over recent years, with a high number of accidents at or near the junction. Over the last 10 years, 50 people have been injured and one person has lost their life.

The roundabout is due to be completed in spring next year.

On the eve of Framlingham College, external 's appearance at the National Schools Championships, external in London, their hockey coach Jamie Kingstone is calling on the team to deliver.

Kingstone (pictured with captain Grace Rider and teammate Hannah De-Selincourt) believes the 1-0 win over Cranleigh earlier in the year, which put Framlingham through to nationals, was a turning point for hockey at the college. 

"We're getting to these competitions a lot, but I think that win suggests we are close to being able to demonstrate what we can actually do," Kingstone said. 

"We're all very excited about what's potentially in store over the next two days."

Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths of a couple in Suffolk.

Framlingham are county champions at all age groups in Suffolk, but the under-18 girls now have the chance to make headlines further afield. 

"We had a vision that we not only wanted to get to nationals, but we wanted to finish in the top three or four," said captain Grace Rider (pictured). 

"It's been great to see us progress as a team and we've come so far since the season started in September."

Stuart Cullen, from Lowestoft, and Philip Heathcote, from Felixstowe, were both on holiday with their wives at the resort of Sousse, when gunman Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire at tourists.

He was later shot dead by police.

Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith is expected to say that all 30 Britons were unlawfully killed and to explain his reasons for not accepting a submission of neglect.

The inquest has previously heard that "part of the attack or most of it could have been prevented" had security been tighter.

Tour operator TUI has been accused of failing to vet security at the hotel, but the firm has argued "matters could have been worse" during the attack.

In addition to entertaining a packed house, the former ski jumper presented a SportsAid grant to Ipswich squash player Lucy Turmel.

She is predicted to be England's number-one player at the World Junior Team Championships this summer in New Zealand.

More than 630 allegations of abuse by home care workers against elderly and vulnerable people in the county have been made in the past three years.

Of these allegations, more than 100 related to physical abuse, 20 to sexual, more than 100 to psychological, another 100 to financial abuse and nearly 300 to neglect.

An investigation by the BBC's File On 4 , which compiled data from freedom of information requests across the country, revealed that nationally, more than 23,000 allegations of abuse had been made.

The FOI data shows nationally prosecutions are rare , with just 700 of the 23,000 alerts resulting in police action, and 15 prosecutions.

Suffolk Coastal District Council has thanked people for taking part in its recent consultation into proposed changes to charges for beach huts at Felixstowe, and says well over 700 responses were received.

The changes include an increase in beach hut fees of 10% for the next eight years, and the introduction of a £7,000 charge for new lease agreements.

The councillor responsible for customers, communities and leisure, Terri-Jill Haworth-Culf, said: "The responses will feed into a new report to cabinet later in the year, which of course will be published and debated in the public domain as part of the democratic process."

Because the consultation period covered the time when existing beach hut owners would normally be asked if they wanted a licence for the coming financial year, the decision has been taken to issue an annual licence for a further year (2017/18), with the charges increasing by the same rate as the council tax for Suffolk Coastal (3.25%), while the longer term future of the service is properly debated. 

Detectives investigating the deaths of two people in Stowmarket say they do not believe anyone else was involved.

The deaths of the couple, named locally as Richard and Sarah Pitkin, remain unexplained until post-mortem examinations are carried out. These are due to take place during the day.

Police also say the investigation is confined to the address in Stowupland Street currently.
