Each year, our Area Housing Panels are allocated a £7,000 budget to help improve the quality of communal spaces. We would like to know your suggestions on projects to help you enjoy using your outdoor living area.

Here are some examples below on specific projects that we have funded in the past (this is not an exhaustive list):

• Flowering/ herb/ vegetable seeds
• Wooden planters
• Seating
• Simple gardening tools
• Household waste clearance
• Benches and picnic table
• LED bulb lighting
• Bin stores
• Patios
• Trees planting
• Fencing

Depending on the type of communal area you have, some projects may not be possible for various reasons, which we will communicate to you. However, where we may be able to collectively work with you and your neighbours’ requests, please know that we will try our best to do so.

Please send your project suggestions, name, address and contact number to tenant.participation@ipswich.gov.uk
