IPSWICH'S Crown Car Park will remain shut until next week at the very earliest following a detailed survey of the building by engineers.

They are still assessing the results of yesterday's survey but it is already clear that the park will not be able to reopen without emergency repairs.

And borough officials at Grafton House are due to spend the next two days working out whether repairs are possible and feasible - or whether the 1970s building has now reached the end of its natural life.
