  • Leaders Statement
    Ipswich Borough Council COUNCIL TAX INFORMATION 2020/21 Message from Councillor David Ellesmere, Leader, Ipswich Borough Council: Ipswich Borough Council will continue to provide a wide range of quality services to the people of Ipswich despite the threat of major cuts in government funding. We are currently predicting that the Government will cut the amount of money it gives to Ipswich by £6m over the next four years. If the Government continues to cut the council’s funding at this rate it will be impossible to protect all council services in the future. However, due to our approach of finding innovative ways of making savings and increasing income – for example by investing in commercial property – we do not anticipate the need to make any significant cuts to frontline services over the coming year. This means that brown bin collections will remain free of charge unlike everywhere else in Suffolk. We will keep the free summer iCard for young people and continue to support bus services in Ipswich. We will maintain our ambitious council house building programme and we will not cut funding to community organisations such as Citizens Advice. We will continue to provide events in Ipswich such as Music Day and the Maritime Festival. The council’s skills in putting on these large scale events enabled us to bring the Ed Sheeran concerts to Chantry Park and ensure they ran smoothly. We also plan to make a number of investments over the coming year in new electric vehicles, home insulation and solar panels which will both save money and reduce carbon emissions.

  • The Labour Party WHO’S WHO in the EAST
    The Labour Party WHO’S WHO IN THE EAST NOT AN OFFICIAL LABOUR PARTY DOCUMENT Stephen Thomas| 12th April 20 0 https://socialistandtradeunionism.org/ Forward The first steps into socialist politics can be a minefield. Like many organisations the membership has different views but has one socialist theme on how we should represent the people, take the Party forward and lead the Country. We have recently lost yet another General Election. Labour’s, some would say, knee jerk reaction, has led to a swing to the right after several years to the socialist left under Jeremy Corbyn. Whichever way you look at it, it is the members of the party that choose the policies and it is the Leaders responsibility to deliver on them. The choice of the leader is how to implement them and ignite the country so once again they too can believe in our socialist values. At the time of writing, the world is going through a Pandemic, with tens of thousands of people dying. The Conservative Party is in power with a massive majority and are at their most popular, mainly through implementing Labour’s socialist policies. Now collectively known as frontline staff, the country has come to recognize the worth and value of our NHS, careers and cleaning staff. Political theories have entwined with each other and some would fear it has now become more difficult to distinguish between the political Parties. Once the survivors return to a normal way of life, where we can once again visit our family and friends, go to work, walk in the countryside and visit the seaside, then please don’t let the country return to the old Conservative ways of doing things.

STAKEHOLDERS AND CONSULTATION 14 GLOSSARY 15 APPENDIX A: Maps Showing Location of Air Quality 16 Management Areas APPENDIX B: Air Quality Actions 20 91 hh akgp (i) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ipswich Borough Council has a statutory duty to monitor and periodically review air quality within its area. The Environment Act 1995 imposes a legal duty to declare Air Quality Management Areas where levels of specific pollutants are, or are predicted to be, above objective levels set out in national Air Quality Regulations 2000 and (Amendment) Regulations 2002. As a result the Council has been reviewing and assessing air quality in a structured way to determine those areas of poor air quality where pollution levels have exceeded, or are likely to exceed the national targets. The results of these assessments indicated that there were areas in Ipswich where the annual average air quality objective for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) would be exceeded. As a result of this the Council declared three Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA’s) in 2006 for nitrogen dioxide. These are: Chevallier Street and Norwich Road junction; Crown Street, St Margaret’s Street and Fonnereau Road junctions; and Star Lane gyratory system/St Helen’s Street near the Wet Dock.
