Simon Pitcher of the Southwold Railway Trust told the BBC: “The railway station that we’re hoping to build would be something that would be designed to fit in to the landscape that would replicate the Victorian building that was originally there,” said Mr Pitcher.”

“It would enable a little bit of the railway to reopen with trains that are in keeping with the original character of the line. The Southwold Railway was a very eccentric railway built on a 3ft gauge, so a smaller gauge than normal British trains, and in that sense was unique in England.”

The project is still in the planning stages, but when it’s completed it will be yet another great tourist attraction for the area.

Prices have always been high, as Southwold is seen as a premium location, but in the current uncertain climate, many estate agents are turning to hi-tech Letting Agents Software to stay one step ahead of the crowd. Such software offers a suite of tools which really help deepen customer communication, from online portfolio design tools to social media marketing and even iPhone app development, all from one box.

With such powerful tools available, many estate agents who refuse to make the move into the digital age are in danger of being left behind. There really is no standing in the way of progress.

But can this kind of software really make a difference? The latest generation of Estate Agency Software is a huge boon to estate agents in the local area. Southwold is one of the most popular choices for those looking to move to the Suffolk area, but until now it has been difficult for agents to establish strong communication with potential buyers.

The estate agent software helps agents automatically generate sales and marketing materials, portfolios as well as full communication integration to save potential buyers time and money. This ensures a close co-operation between agent and buyer, and streamlines the whole process.

Suffolk’ s property market is notoriously volatile, and any tool to help keep agents and buyers talking is bound to have an impact. The onbly question is, can agents afford not to move with the times?

Currently the park is only open for seven months a year, and organisers have to turn away campers for the rest of the year. But thanks to the high demand for the picturesque camping spot, plans are afoot to extend the camping season by two further months.

The council estimates that the park could make approximately £46,800 more than it does under current rules. With this in mind, they are proposing lifting the bye law which prevents parks from opening for more than seven months a year.

The proposals also include a £15,000 investment which would add 20 new electrical hookups to the park. Currently the park is open from April 1st to October 1st, with the new plans adding a month either side.

Estate Agent software is fast becoming the difference between sinking and swimming, with many agents discovering that easy, intuitive access to social media marketing and the ability to generate iPhone apps is keeping them at the cutting edge of the industry and allowing them to stay in the game.

As well as adding to the picturesque delights of Southwold’s beach, the huts could also raise huge amounts of money for the town. Beach huts are sold for astronomical figures, with one recently going for a staggering £60,000.

Local residents are thrilled with the news, as the money would enable the council to provide improvements all over the town, from public toilets to beachfront facilities, with the council pledging to use some of the cash for the ongoing refurbishment of Ladies’ Walk clifftop pathway.

The beach huts are a big part of Southwold’s heritage, and are hugely popular with the town’s celebrity residents. Previous high-profile owners of beach huts include Chris Evans, Michael Palin, Stephen Fry, Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis.

With competition hotting up among letting agents, it’s new technology that is separating the leaders from the herd. New lettings software from CFP is helping agents to stay one step ahead of the pack by allowing them to communicate with renters through social media and even iPhone and Android apps. CFP’s technological breakthrough means that buyers have a host of new tools to help them track down their perfect property, from web services featuring maps, detailed floor plans and virtual tours to mobile apps which allow them to see properties as soon as they enter the market.

With the race to stay on top of the market hotting up, it could be tools such as this that make the difference between sinking and swimming.

The key to the new landscape of the market is the opportunities afforded by social media marketing and smartphone app design, and agents are increasingly turning to Estate Agent Software to ensure they retain their commercial edge.

Software from companies like Vebra is allowing agents to establish and build their web presence and show off their portfolios like never before. Keep your eyes open for developments in this high-potential marketing environment.

Admiral Play have created a range of play ideas inspired by their extensive research and development.

The key to creating truly unique and incredibly rewarding play experiences is to focus on sharing, spatial awareness and exercise. This approach means that kids stay fit while learning and having fun, and has led to the development of innovative play devices such as the Jupiter rocking board with its sturdy hand rails and extensively tested spring mechanism.

This kind of thinking is transforming the traditional playpark, entertaining kids while providing them with a wide range of learning and fitness possibilities, encouraging co-ordination and co-operation in ways that have never been seen before. Outdoor Playground Equipment will never be the same again.

Of course, even though learning and fitness are central to a good playpark design, kids need to have fun, otherwise they won’t want to play. With this in mind, Admiral have put special effort into perfecting kids’ favourites, like zip-line, slides and swings.
