Plans have been submitted for a multi-million-pound project to redevelop a key Bury St Edmunds town centre site.
West Suffolk Council wants to transform the former post office building and widen the walkway connecting the old part of the town with the Arc shopping centre.

The council also aims to improve the streetscape of St Andrew's Street South - which runs at the back of the old post office building - by creating a dramatic new frontage.
The side that faces Cornhill will be enhanced through the removal of a step to improve access and the creation of a second arch that will acknowledge the historic Bell Arcade and also serve the wider Market Thoroughfare.
The council is proposing to deliver affordable housing off-site.
