In a quiet corner of north Suffolk, an idyllic village with close links to the Victorian author has found itself at the heart of a bizarre planning brouhaha.

Blundeston is famed for being the birthplace of the character David Copperfield.

And the installation of a new InPost parcel collection facility on the side of the Copperfields village store had sparked 'great expectations' among village folk.

But, just weeks after Blundeston's much-loved locker was installed, the unit has been ripped out after A SINGLE complaint was made.

Early this week the facility was removed after jobsworth council officials outlawed the "huge community asset".

And the removal has left the sleepy, picturesque village at war ... but the sole complainer remains unmasked, even though rumours of their identity are flying around the village.

One furious villager said: "Everyone has different theories as to who the Luddite who wants Blundeston to remain firmly in the last century is. It is the talk of the village - I think I know and next time I see them they will get a piece of my mind."

Hundreds of people have already called for the return of "an essential facility" and a "much-needed asset".
