Two tier local government doesn't work. The entire south east area of Suffolk deeply relies on each other, however, infrastructure, public transport and joined-up planning is appalling or non-existent. Many places have got out of this mess through a unitary authority.
Ipswich desperately needs serious road infrastructure upgrades. Unfortunately the only proposal on the table - an Upper Orwell Crossing - is not suitable.
Ipswich needs to establish its own science park and/or tech park. Emphasis should be against retail parks and light industrial estates. Suffolk should exceed as being a county with its own highly successful tech cluster county-wide. With developments of a film studio at Bentwaters in the
pipework, Suffolk can soon become the Suffolk Powerhouse it should be.
