So far a third of a million has been spent on Mariner House, external in Ipswich, making it more accessible and user-friendly, and a new unit, costing more than £800,000, has opened for young people with acute mental health needs at Carlton Court, external in Lowestoft.

McFly drummer Harry Judd called in to share in a challenge devised by pupils at St Gregory's Primary School, external in Sudbury for Red Nose Day.

"We've taken a little bit off, going into turns one and three, to give the lads that little bit more racing room which I hope will enable a little bit of dive-bombing as we call it," said Louis about the shape of the track.

"That's going to enable better racing, more excitement and we've also improved the banking so there should be more of the track usable that hasn't been for the last five or six years."

"His dedication to his role really shone through and he prides himself on doing his job to the best of his ability. 

"His professionalism and dedication to the role was further demonstrated when he returned to work at the earliest opportunity, despite his injuries preventing him from driving."

A team of officers from Suffolk and Norfolk police forces are continuing work at the site at Milton near Cambridge, and they've now been through more than 845 tonnes of material in the search.  

Det Supt Katie Elliott said: "Officers have been liaising with the HSE as part of the investigation into the circumstances around what happened to Corrie.  

"If there is a find on the site then the HSE will have a role to play in looking into the procedures that were in place and we have been speaking with them to ensure they are aware of our investigation to date.  

"Officers have completed thousands of hours of inquiries to find Corrie and, through the work that has been completed over the past few months, we have gathered a substantial amount of information which will inform both our own and any potential HSE investigation as we move forward."

Andy King, from Sulsar, said people in the county used not to know anything about what his organisation did: "Now we've got fund-raising events and concerts in aid of us, it's almost been overwhelming for the team.

"It's also meant a huge amount to us to have [our] efforts recognised - [it's] been tremendous and not something we've ever been used to.

"The effect it's had on the team, both in morale and numbers has just been incredible. 

"The team is over twice the size now that it was before Corrie went missing."

Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue, external  has spent more than 6,000 hours looking for RAF Honington gunner Corrie Mckeague, who disappeared six months ago , says its chairman.

Andy King continued: "Even while the public searches were being planned and then being undertaken, the team was still out looking at other areas based on information that came from the phone lines.

"Every potential place that Corrie could have been, where somebody suggested, has been searched."

The focus of the search for Mr Mckeague is now a landfill site in Cambridgeshire. 

It's six months since missing RAF Honington serviceman Corrie Mckeague was captured on CCTV cameras in Bury St Edmunds for the final time in the early hours of Saturday, 24 September.

Police have been searching a landfill site at Milton near Cambridge for Mr Mckeague's body for nearly three weeks, after a re-examination of information from a refuse company led them to believe he could have been taken in a waste lorry to the site.

They say the search could take up to 10 weeks. So far they've sifted through about 800 tonnes of waste.
