OUR PRIORITIES
As a council, we have defined a set of five key priorities for our borough and communities:
- A thriving Town Centre: Making Ipswich Town Centre the heart of the community. A place where everyone can feel safe and welcome, and where people can shop, socialise, and experience brilliant culture, and access the services they need.
- Meeting the housing needs of our community: Making sure that everyone in Ipswich has access to quality homes that they can afford to live in. To do this, the borough needs more new housing. The council will build council homes and work to attract good home builders to the area, as well as continuing to lobby the government to build more homes.
- A carbon neutral council: The council will take practical and decisive action on the climate emergency and become a carbon neutral council by 2030.
- Promoting community wellbeing and fairness in Ipswich: The council will work with partners to tackle inequalities, improve people’s health, and making sure that everyone has access to the parks, culture, sport, and local facilities which improve residents’ quality of life.
- A financially sustainable council providing good quality services: Dealing with financial challenges transparently and with the needs of residents guiding decisions, continuing to provide a range of good quality, efficient and reliable services.
