  • Ipswich Borough Council Response to Boundary Committee Questions
    Ipswich Borough Council Response to Boundary Committee Questions OVERARCHING QUESTIONS: 1. Why would your proposed model best address the social and economic challenges of the Suffolk county area? In particular, please consider the following issues: • The social and economic challenges of the Ipswich urban area • Neighbourhood arrangements in Ipswich • The specific challenges faced by Felixstowe and in particular Lowestoft • Neighbourhood arrangements in Felixstowe and Lowestoft • The challenges of coastal erosion and flooding in the coastal areas of the county Our submission argues that our proposed model best serves the different economic sub-regions in Suffolk and the differing needs and challenges of the urban, rural and coastal parts of the county. We believe this creates 3 or 4 authorities based upon natural communities. We have outlined in Sections 2 and 3 of our submission the social and economic challenges faced in the urban Ipswich area and consider that having one unitary council within the model that has a strong urban Ipswich focus is the best way of providing leadership, local empowerment and tailored services to successfully address those challenges. We have put forward specific proposals in Section 6 of our submission for neighbourhood arrangements that build on IBC's current model of 5 Area Forums and Area Committees with aligned Safer Neighbourhood Teams underpinned by a multi-agency steering group. We intend to continue with the successful practices of area profiling and the identification of and response to local needs and issues through hot-spotting. Felixstowe and Lowestoft share the social and environmental issues of coastal towns. Economically, Lowestoft is a regeneration area whereas Felixstowe is dominated by the port which is set to grow by some 50%.
