Ipswich ready to keep Felixstowe on the move


The fi rst signs of spring may


fi nally be here, but ABP’s Port of Ipswich recently handled 5,000 tonnes of imported road salt for Suff olk Highways to help make local roads safer. Taking no chances, Suff olk


Highways’ assistant director, Mark Stevens said: “Despite the weather gradually getting warmer,


it is important to be


prepared for every eventuality. Our salt barns remain well- stocked for any sudden


deterioration in conditions.” Ipswich’s much larger


neighbour Felixstowe may also owe its little brother thanks. Ipswich is close to Highways England’s Whitehouse which covers the A14, the main link to the UK’s biggest container hub.

Extended leave


Three Russian sailors sparked a mass scramble by local lifeboat crews and a coastguard helicopter in the early hours of 21 March aſt er their infl atable boat was reported missing on the way back from an onshore drinking trip.


According to the BBC, they


had leſt the Alana Evita coaster, anchored two miles off


the


Somerset coast, to sample the nightlife in Barry, South Wales, on Wednesday. Rescuers eventually found


April fool – or is it?


Well done to sharp-eyed readers who spotted the 1 April date on our website story that Stena Line’s Holyhead was to erect


a 100ſt Hollywood-style sign to greet visitors arriving in the Welsh ferry port. An April Fool maybe, but,


them stranded on Flat Holm island, four miles off the Welsh coast. Somehow, the trio managed


to extend their trip to the small Welsh resort for several hours, not beginning their trip home until 03:45. What on earth did they discover in Barry to keep them for so long?


is it such a bad idea? Stranger ideas have gained currency. A few years ago, who would have thought


that people would


fl ock to the industrial town of Gateshead to see a rusty angel sculpture?
