More shrink-wrapping similar to that which covers St Francis Tower has appeared on another Ipswich apartment block.

An investigation previously conducted by this newspaper found 51 Patteson Road, a part of the Orwell Quay complex on the Waterfront, had "high risk" Grenfell-style cladding.

Works to replace this are believed to have started with residents still living inside. 

Last year, it was revealed flats at 1, 3, 5, and 7 Anchor Street would also be included in the project - which was due to begin last year, but delayed for funding reasons. 

The project is expected to last 10-12 months and the blocks will be cloaked in netting-style material for the duration.

Project consultants last year claimed the material is different from the controversial vinyl wrapping, used on St Francis Tower in the town centre, and will offer a “breathable solution” that lets in natural daylight.

However, Ipswich MP Tom Hunt said: "The material being used is better than that used in St Francis Tower, but still not as good as it needs to be."

Managing agents EWS were contacted to provide further information, but no response has been received.
