We've woken up to the exciting news that more than a £1m is coming to the county to regenerate Lowestoft Ness, Britain's most easterly point, by creating a brand new visitor destination.
We'll get reaction to that, and also to a further £750,000, which will be invested in a scheme to enhance Ipswich Town Centre and Waterfront Gateway, including St Peter's Dock.
