The first jobs for a new service station on the outskirts of Ipswich are being advertised. 

Work is progressing on the forecourt in Bobbits Lane in Wherstead, which is due to be run by Euro Garages. 

Roles are now being advertised for stores inside the service station, including a Subway and Greggs.

Plans for advertisement consent have been submitted to Babergh District Council, the local planning authority.

"Due to the distance separation to the nearest residential amenity, I do not consider that the cumulative levels emitted will be detrimental to their amenity," a statement from an environmental health officer said. 

"I have no objections to this scheme being granted permission providing that the signage and associated luminaires are installed and maintained in line with the manufacturers recommendations."

It is proposed the service station will be 24 hours. 

A drive-thru restaurant is also due to be built on the land. 

An opening date for the service station is yet to be announced.
