Work is to begin on a major redevelopment of Lowestoft seafront after a building company was given the green light to carry it out.
The contract to deliver the regeneration works has been awarded to the firm Blakedown Landscapes.
The plans will see the series of new fountains installed in Royal Plain, a new pocket park in South Quay Wharf and a range of improvements to Royal Green including the installation of a multi-use games area and boulder climbing.
The works along the seafront are being paid for through the Government's Town Find which awarded Lowestoft £24.9m and are due to start this month.
it is hoped the work will be finished by the summer of 2025.

It comes as a bid to build a two-storey restaurant and café complex in Jubilee Parade gathers pace as part of overall regeneration plans.
Cllr Tim Wilson, East Suffolk’s cabinet member for economic development and regeneration said: “The improvements to these areas will really make a difference, such as the new fountains at Royal Plain, which have previously been enjoyed by people and families over the years.
"We hope these projects will bring further prosperity to the town and encourage more visitors to explore what Lowestoft has to offer.”
