A new climate hub was launched in an empty unit in Buttermarket, Ipswich. It will host craftivism sessions and also has a repair cafe to engage the community. Founder Sue Hagley said: "It feels really exciting. It's been in my head for about four years... this is something that Ipswich needs."

Life in Suffolk has been captured in a series of images during a week where flooding hit John Constable's Hay Wain beauty spot, villagers protested over chicken farm plans and a Tardis nestled on the edge of a field was moved to a new home.

Scroll down below to see how the county looked between 2 and 5 February.
