Overview
Towns Deal funding is part of the Government’s investment plan to level-up regions, providing an opportunity for economic growth across the country.
Ipswich Borough Council on behalf of Ipswich Town Deal Vision Board has secured £8m to bring empty properties in the town centre back into active use through a Regeneration Fund project.
What we want to achieve
The £8m Regeneration Fund will contribute to the shared aim of creating a vibrant and attractive town centre with a mix of uses that reduce the current overreliance on retail.
Planned uses will include:
- Cultural
- Education
- Health
- Leisure & Hospitality
- Retail
- Residential
Through this fund and other actions taken by the Council and partners, Ipswich Town Centre will become a place that is well-used day and night, attractive to investors and businesses, and a place where visitors will choose to come and stay.
Regeneration fund projects
Regeneration fund projects will:
- Activate vacant properties
- Drive interest in Ipswich
- Bring a new mix of uses to the town centre
- Leverage private sector investment into Ipswich
- Increase footfall and dwell time
- Increase land-values
