Falling house sales in Ipswich (50% over last two years). Population adjustments due to Brexit and shifts in population and local Ipswich demographic. Acknowledge and factor in the stark reality of the jobs and employment situation and trends within Ipswich. Factor in post-Brexit increases likely in food prices; food security and the need to grow more at home; the terrible loss of Grade 2 farm land in North Ipswich. Ipswich cycling infrastructure requires major improvement to encourage sustainable travel and reduce congestion. However, poor Air Quality in key areas works against a successful cycling, walking strategy and Public Health thrust.
