Hadleigh has been placed even more firmly on the map. A new town sign has been erected to welcome people into the community.

Members of Hadleigh Village Women's Institute, with support from the local council and traders, raised around £3,000 to pay for the new sign.

The 15ft-high structure highlights the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

The carved wood also carries a plaque thanking groups which contributed to the cause.
