One of the key challenges over the extended plan period should also be to: 'Protect and support appropriately located industrial activity, in particular at Ipswich Port.'

Crest agrees that the issues for Ipswich stem from how to manage and gain best advantage from the significant growth taking place. One key challenge identified is to accommodate growth in a way that enhances Ipswich's character and residents' quality of life. Crest considers that the Northern Fringe development is an essential part of the strategy for growth. The Northern Fringe landowners have a unique opportunity to deliver high quality residential accommodation within a sustainable new community which will integrate with existing urban form whilst creating its own unique identity. Its delivery will be a key solution to this challenge.

This fails to mention what growth is taking place. Over the past decade we have seen housing growth and population growth without jobs growth. The CS needs to clarify that there is 'forecast growth' in both the population and the economy and not treat this as an undisputed fact.
Although we appreciate that IBC is not the Education Authority, the CS needs to recognise the relative poor performance of some Ipswich schools in the league tables in order to help raise standards.
