Visitors to Felixstowe can see from the surrounding pictures the attractiveness of the resort, unfortunately this does not apply to the once thriving and pleasant South Seafront Area which the council seems to have purposely and consistently neglected.
This project rejected by residents and agencies alike has seen the council bend all the rules from the area plan to overlooking Government guidelines in building on a floodplain so that it might go through.
