00:00 Hello, I am Sam Harrison, and here are your Suffolk News headlines.

00:05 Residents are speaking out over a long-running rat infestation at a Bury St Edmunds housing

00:10 complex for young parents aged 16 to 25. Shannon Knott, her mum Linda and Chloe Cobbold have

00:18 blasted the Riverside Group, which operates Acorn House in Acacia Avenue, over the rat

00:23 problem. It has become such an issue that families have been offered temporary accommodation

00:29 as a dead rat was found in a cupboard, leaving Shannon concerned for her baby's health after

00:34 discovering rat droppings. A campaign group has raised concerns over the number of children

00:41 in Suffolk on part-time timetables last year, saying they should be used as a very, very

00:47 last resort. Data from Suffolk County Council shows 618 young people were placed on part-time

00:54 timetables for the 2022-23 academic year. The figures were obtained through a Freedom

01:01 of Information request by parent Emma Eveley from Leedon Market, who is on the Committee

01:07 of Campaign for Change, which fights for the improvement for children with special educational

01:12 needs and disabilities. However, Stone Market High School's headteacher Dave Lee Allen says

01:19 that part-time timetables have been used as sparingly as possible in his experience.

01:26 And our top story of the week. The owners of a popular Suffolk fashion retailer have

01:31 decided to sell the business after 34 years. Jeremy and Joanna Clayton, who run the award-winning

01:37 Javelin, with shops in Brayston, Edmonds and Sudbury, made the announcement to customers

01:43 last Friday. They have found a buyer to be revealed at a later date who is passionate

01:49 about the business and shares the firm's values. But that is everything for now. Do
