STOWMARKET'S Regal cinema still remains closed today but it is hoped that it will be back open for business soon.

The cinema, in Ipswich Street, closed on Tuesday when one of its heating pipes broke down.

The problem is not thought to be serious although it will put the cinema out of action for a while.

Josephine Beever, deputy finance officer at Stowmarket Town Council said: "The only problem we have is with a heating pipe in the roof void. We have closed so that work can begin on fixing it.

"Work is starting on it straight away so we can get open again as soon as possible. The only real problem is that it would leave cinema-goers feeling rather chilly.

"Hopefully it will be open in the near future although at this stage I can not stay for certain."
