A town centre facelift for Leiston has been given the go-ahead.
Members of Suffolk Coastal District Council's cabinet committee met to discuss the major proposals being planned for Leiston.
The project tackles a range of issues from transport, services and traffic to promotion of the town and is outlined in the Leiston Town Centre Action Plan.
A total of 45 projects have been laid out including plans to create a town square at the Old Post Office Square, giving more space for pedestrians and reducing the impact of parked cars.
Consultants are also looking at the possibility of a one-way system in the town as part of a new transport action plan.
Jeremy Schofield, the council's director of planning and leisure, said members had endorsed the plans yesterday and were pleased to be working on the project.
