<strong>The real truth behind the £21 million Travel Ipswich highways programme can be revealed for the first time today.</strong>

Motorists have been left frustrated by the endless roadworks around town, causing lengthy delays to even the shortest journey.



But far from spending £21m to dig up roads and junctions in an apparent effort to improve traffic flow, the reality is that the council is looking for buried treasure worth £21m.

A spokesman for the highways management team said: "It's common knowledge amongst the road crews that there is £21m in gold somewhere under the roads of Ipswich, and we are going to keep digging until we find it."
