Representation Summary:

We are disappointed that the town centre has not been identified through Suffolk Growth Strategy since there is a pressing need for regeneration and jobs growth in the town centre. In view of the local expertise in Insurance, far more needs to be done to attract investment and new jobs into Ipswich town centre. We suggest this sector be given a greater priority by IBC and note that it is given a mention in the Suffolk Growth Strategy. None of the growth sites identified are easily accessible from the Northern Fringe by public transport hence traffic congestion will arise.
