The wildlife network of the town is excellent, but needs adequate resourcing to ensure efforts to maintain, enhance and monitor it are sufficient (ie: the Greenways Project/Parks Service). In order to greatly improve the value of the network, it is clear that links into the surrounding districts are vital for it to be truly meaningful. Continuity could be achieved by the neighbouring districts having similar networks (and related planning policies) for the relevant areas around the fringes of Ipswich. This would ensure vital connections are maintained across political boundaries.
