Lottery money for the region

A public space is to be created in front of the Forum

More than £1m of lottery money is coming to East Anglia to enhance Millennium projects in the area.

The Forum in Norwich is being given £621,000 for improvements to the front of the building, which will have a new public space created.

St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk will get an extra £550,000 to add to the £10m project to build a tower.

The plan to complete the Apostles Chapel and extend the cloisters can now continue, after being shelved when the tower project started going over budget.

The Millennium Fund is giving £37,000 to build a new lock on the River Stour at Great Cornard near Sudbury.
