Building work for a new Starbucks on the edge of a Suffolk town has been completed. 

The new coffee-shop with drive-thru has been built off Weaver Meadow Close in Hadleigh.

In May this year the framework of the new store appeared with workers starting on the new coffee shop that will span just under 200 square metres and create about 20 new jobs in the town.

Now building work is finished, fencing has been taken down and signs have been put up on the store. 

Babergh District Council gave Starbucks the go-ahead in October 2023 to build a new store in Hadleigh. 

Neighbours had previously raised concerns that the site's location, close to a busy roundabout, would cause traffic and parking problems. 

Speaking previously, councillor Helen Davies, the vice chair of the committee, explained the decision: “While we feel for the local residents, we cannot refuse a planning application unless there are strong defendable reasons for doing so and unfortunately there weren’t in this case." 

An opening date is yet to be announced.
