Empty shops

I had to go Felixstowe Road the other day and noticed that the shop that used to be Tylers was empty and also the dress shop next door was standing empty as well  - the rot is spreading!

I find it hard to buy any big size clothes in Ipswich. And by big size I don't mean 18 or 20. Let's start from size 22 and up. Where are all the big ladies buying their clothes? I can't believe everyone is buying online.

No in our case it was a rental property with a private landlord, who was known to the police for his 'couldn't care less' attitude

Sheila o - percentage wise there are as many empty shops in Norwich as Ipswich but I suspect they are more hidden because that's the magic of Norwich ;-) always lands on its feet. Retailers aren't deserting just Ipswich they're deserting everywhere. I ... more »

S here
to get a gas bottle you have to pay (rent) for bottle and money for gas if you supply a bottle you only pay for gas I think you will find it in most places if someone know different let us know
Trevor G
I got mine from B & Q, you buy the gas and pay a deposit to cover the bottle, should you return the bottle at some point, the deposit is returned. Keep the paperwork however.
