Empty shops and new names for pensioners
The number of empty shops in Suffolk's town centres and what should we call older people?
A national count of empty shops in town centres says more than one-in-nine in Ipswich is vacant. In Bury St Edmunds the figures showed just over 10% of the shops were empty.
We hear from town centre managers and councillors from Stowmarket, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds.
As the East Anglian Daily Times decides to stop using phrases like "plucky pensioner" and OAP, the paper's editor Terry Hunt tells us why and we ask if there's another phrase to describe the older generation?
