We believe that with a re-thinking of district boundaries, the Orwell Peninsula (Ipswich to Felixstowe) area could deliver ambitious economic growth along with a significant increase in housing numbers. The duty to cooperate is inadequate. We believe there must be a single local plan for the Great Ipswich and Felixstowe area).

New Anglia LEP Board representation for Ipswich & Felixstowe area should never fall below 30% (or below our zone's percentage of GVA for Norfolk & Suffolk).
There should be a permanent New Anglia LEP board position for the Felixstowe Port Users Association or the Port of Felixstowe.
Ipswich Borough Council should re-join the Haven Gateway.
New Anglia LEP should be working in greater partnership, or association, with Haven Gateway.
All parties should make it a priority to lobby for a Greater Ipswich Orbital (Northern Bypass) in the next government spending round.
We are urgently calling for a business and academic led member group dedicated to the successful growth of Greater Ipswich & Orwell.
Ipswich Policy Area must have permanent and proportionate representation at SCC cabinet (or Committee) level.
