Use some of the empty commercial units which clearly have no commercial interest as community space or more importantly a temporary museum showing the heritage aspects of the waterfront. space could be used to show old films etc.

We support further development of the Waterfront where a very high standard of design is employed (not exceeding 7 storeys in this location) which does not harm the setting of designated heritage assets and better reveals their significance.

As discussed under other questions, the Waterfront area conservation area appraisal and boundary would benefit from a review, particularly in light of the urban archaeological database. This evidence could then inform strategic policies and a masterplan for the area and how it can be reconnected with the town centre.

The proposal to create a 'Gipeswic Centre' on the waterfront, dedicated to telling the story of England's first town, and first advanced in a bid to the Millennium Commission, should remain an objective in some form. This would need to be co-ordinated with whatever display Ipswich Museum proposes but could concentrate on the maritime history of Ipswich from the 7th to 20th centuries. Such a display would be best housed at or close to the waterfront, perhaps in one of the many ground floor 'commercial' unit overlooking the river.

Despite all the focus, there still isn't an tourist attraction at the Waterfront. There is no visitor centre. There isn't an ATM. Some nice restaurants, cafes and a pub - nothing the town centre hasn't got! Nothing most other settlements do not have including cities, towns and some villages.
