Shopping centre reopens after emergency closure
Alice Cunningham/BBCA shopping, cinema and leisure activities centre that was forced to close for nearly two weeks has reopened.
The Buttermarket in Ipswich shut its doors on 21 September after the "failure" of a tempered glass panel in the north mall.
In a post on social media on Friday, the business said it was reopening at 15:00 BST. The centre includes restaurants, shops, an Omniplex cinema and a bowling alley/games arcade.
It said: "We would like to thank our tenants, customers, staff and visitors for their patience and understanding during the temporary closure."
It is the second time in less than a month the centre has had to close, after a water main burst in August.
A number of businesses spoke to the BBC about their experience during the closure.
