Ipswich tower block deemed unsafe is sold for £1

A tower block blighted by safety worries finally has a new owner – who paid £1.

The Mill, a 23-storey block on the waterfront in Ipswich, has been sold to local developer John Howard, who told the BBC some floors may have to be removed.

The 249-flat development was deemed unsafe after gale force winds tore cladding away, and fire hazards identified following the Grenfell Tower disaster have also yet to be rectified.

Administrators had said the financial future of the development was in jeopardy, with significant funding needed for repairs.
