A drive-thru Costa Coffee branch in a Suffolk town will open early next year, it has been confirmed. 

Plans for the coffee giant to open a store at the Studlands Shopping Park in Newmarket were given the go-ahead in July 2022. 

Building work at the site in Oaks Drive is currently ongoing, and it is hoped it will open by February 2024.
