Working In Ipswich
Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk and is the fastest growing urban centre in the East of England, with key developments in particular taking place on the Waterfront. A third of a million people live within 15 miles of Ipswich town centre.
Ipswich Borough Council and its Councillors are committed to transforming Ipswich and to improving the way in which we work.
Ipswich is a centre for financial services, for major public sector employers and for maritime and related industries. It is a member of the Haven Gateway Partnership, a Government growth area bringing together the ports of Felixstowe, Ipswich and Harwich and a population of 600,000. Ipswich is also a key player in Regional Cities East.
Ipswich is home to England's newest university, University Campus Suffolk, which has its main campus on the Waterfront. Suffolk New College, catering for further education, is based nearby, close to the town centre and the Waterfront. A new sixth-form centre is under construction on the edge of Ipswich.
Ipswich enjoys excellent transport links with London and the Midlands and is surrounded by some of the least spoilt countryside in the country. It is a cultural centre and has fine and extensive parks across the town. Suffolk is one of the safest counties in England and Wales.
