Ipswich Town take on Wigan tonight at Portman Road , with a win potentially taking them nine points clear of the drop zone. 

The Blues will be without midfielder Cole Skuse - he's suffering with concussion and could also be a doubt for Town's match against Fulham at the weekend. 

Welsh contingent Tom Lawrence, Emyr Huws and Jonny Williams are back in training though, so may feature.

Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy says Wigan will come to Portman Road with confidence.

"I think they need three points, they probably see it as a game they can win as well bearing in mind how we played second half Saturday," he said.

The origins of punk are disputed (When did it start? Was US or UK punk first? What was it?), but the exhibition has its own take on some of the musicians from that era.

Eddie Duggan is now a lecturer at the university, but in the late 1970s he was taking snaps at gigs in London when the UK scene exploded. 

His work appeared in musical publications such as the defunct weekly music papers NME, Sounds and Record Mirror, as well as the legendary UK fanzine Sniffin' Glue, external .  

Stein also catalogued the age in pictures which go on show at the Waterfront Building from today until 13 May.

A petition to make it mandatory to prosecute drivers illegally parked in disabled spaces has been launched by an Ipswich resident, external  on the government's petitions website.

Ben Forsdike has become so incensed at "able-bodied, but lazy people" parking in disabled bays he wants it to be an offence.

"The same should apply to parent and toddler spaces provided for a reason and should only be used by the appropriate person. 

"People are rarely prosecuted for such offence, yet regularly ticketed for parking on yellow lines and loading bays. 

"Private landowners also turn a blind eye to inconsiderate people parking in disabled bays and it should be mandatory for these people to be prosecuted. 

"I hope it will be made the law for people illegally parked on public land to be fined (like they would be in any other situation) and make it more straightforward to prosecute those illegally parked on private land," he said.

Complaints to Suffolk Police about drones snooping on neighbours, attempting to drop contraband into prisons and other intrusive or potentially illegal purposes, have more than quadrupled since 2014, a Freedom of Information request by the Press Association, external has revealed.

The force received 17 calls about drones in 2014, but by 2016 that figure had risen to 74. 

One person complained a neighbour was repeatedly flying a drone over a garden when teenage girls were sunbathing and a drone was spotted flying over a prison.

Out of the remaining six just one has resulted in someone being charged for an offence.

Following a sharp rise in grooming cases in Suffolk a new child protection law, external coming into force today has been welcomed by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children ( NSPCC, external ). 

Figures for the county show there were three recorded cases of meeting a child after grooming from April 2011 to March 2012. 

The latest set of offences show that's increased to 35 incidents, but the NSPCC is hopeful the increased powers will be able to tackle the problem. 

The law which comes into force makes it illegal for an adult to send sexual communication to a child under 16, whereas previously an offender had to meet a child before police could intervene.

The NSPCC said that will mean police get the power to stop grooming incidents much sooner.

A national charity says a change in the law to protect children is long overdue.

The NSPCC claims tougher anti-grooming legislation which comes into force today is badly needed.

Over the last five years, the number of abusers meeting children in Norfolk after grooming then online has more than doubled, according to the charity. 

In the year up to March 2016, police recorded 11 offences compared to 5 in 2012.

It's been campaigning for a change in the law, which until today has prevented police from arresting groomers until they meet a child or abuse them. But now police will be able to intervene sooner.

The NSPCC is hailing it a victory for common sense, which will increase the protection of children online.

It's commended the justice secretary and South West Norfolk MP Liz Truss for doing what it says is the right thing.
