Rob Longfoot, housing services manager with Suffolk Housing, said: "We are incredibly proud of the development at Anton House. It has given an old building a fresh lease of life, while also offering 55 absolutely fantastic town centre flats to local people in housing need.

"We want to attract a good mix of people to the flats and will be actively engaging with them so that we can build a really strong sense of community at Anton House.

"This is a flagship development for Suffolk Housing and we are keen to make it something special – all we need now are the right residents to help us do just that."
