Three teenagers arrested after a burglary at Leiston High school last night.

Part time but permanent job caring for a disabled person in Leiston.

Local weather (there's nothing for you here) on Ipswich ... Leiston, Lowestoft, Orford, Southwold ... and Lotus.

A case of 50 cds pinched in Leiston last night.

Skimmers found this morning on cashpoints in Framlingham, Leiston and Aldeburgh ... so that's why a police car outside Barclays this am ... or not.

It's FREE Leiston Day at the Long Shop Museum this Sunday.

Four burglaries Tuesday night in Leiston.

A man has been charged with yesterday's attempted Leiston bank robbery.

Attempted bank robbery in Leiston this morning.

Thanks to Trevor Moore for attractive graphic evidence that like just about everywhere ntc Leiston is well snowed on.

When you're 23 of course you're going to live for ever ... except ... fatal collision in Leiston.

Skaters and bmxers from mostly Saxmundham but Leiston as well (the young we assume Leiston person who asked us to sign the petition said he didn't really approve of Sax but was making an exception for the skatepark) and as far away as Beccles (Beccles' Smash Skate were sponsoring the day) gathered for a shoot out (or whatever you do on wheels) at Leiston Skatepark (which looks very well used) to raise money for the proposed (on that field by the A12 where the scouts hold boot sales) Sax Skatepark.  Serviced by a barbeque and an ice cream van there was the obligatory but good humoured teenage derision to the inevitable bailouts but some stunting did draw genuine applause.  We really hope we'll be snapping another skate park opening soon, we enjoyed the last one.  For more info try PCSO Thora Taylor and lots more pix here.

This is Leiston last night and it's either a spectacular sunset or something seriously wrong at Sizewell B.  (Thanks Deano.)

Suffolk Coastal will be making a third offer to the mother of Makiebien Stappard the Leiston teenager who died suddenly earlier this year.

A large(ish) helicopter taking off from the Sizewell Social Club's sports field yesterday, don't know why?  We're told the club is maybe more Leiston than Sizewell.

Though the police are not treating the sudden death of 16 year old Makiebien Stappard in Leiston last month as suspicious they are having difficulty establishing his movements earlier in the day.

Charity shops are getting pretty picky about what they'll take these days but until Saturday the St Elizabeth Hospice has an amnesty on odd, broken or scrap jewellery at their ten shops including Felixstowe, Ipswich, Leiston, Sax and Woodbridge.

A 16 year old Leiston boy was found unconscious Saturday night and pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.  Police are treating his death as unexplained, more information on the bulletin board.

In Stonham Aspel last month police recovered more than 300 items stolen from the Leiston, Ipswich, Stratford St Mary and Essex areas over the past couple of years.  They include furniture, paintings, ornaments, silverware, jewellery, framed film posters, a folding bicycle, several old style gramophones, a CB radio and more.  To help identify the stolen goods there is the hotline 01986 835319 and they will be available to view by appointment early next month.

The police want to contact the driver of a silver is there any other kind? Mercedes who stopped to let a police car through in Leiston Saturday afternoon.

The snow has pretty much gone now but it certainly snowed yesterday in Framsden, Hacheston, Leiston and Fram.

This is Inspector Neil Reid nobly wearing his hat because we asked him to.  Neil is now stationed at Leiston and newly commands the Aldeburgh, Framlingham, Leiston and Saxmundham Safer Neighbourhood Teams ... and he cycled to work today.  Read his bio here.

We noticed earlier this summer that this t-junction between Leiston and Sizewell not only had an attractive tub of flowers but a whole boatful too!  Then yesterday we saw that entering Leiston from Theberton there's a tub of flowers and the south entrance to Saxmundham has a tub and a hanging basket.  Let's hope this charming idea spreads.
