Nesting Birds Halt £6M Redevelopment Project

A significant £6 million redevelopment project in Bury St Edmunds is experiencing delays due to the presence of nesting birds. West Suffolk Council has halted demolition and redevelopment work at the Olding Road site for two months. This pause is necessary to protect the nesting wildlife, which primarily consists of gulls.

The affected site was slated for transformation, with plans to replace an old vehicle depot and storage facility with new leisure facilities. A trampoline park and padel courts have already been confirmed, and a gymnastics club is in the final stages of securing its relocation to the site.
