Monthly walkabouts - join us in your local area!
As part of our Engagement Calendar, Ipswich Borough Council ‘s monthly walkabouts in local areas are designed to bring tenants, leaseholders, councillors, housing officers, and tenant representatives together to make a difference where it matters most.
Open to all tenants and council leaseholders these walkabouts are a keyway we can work together to keep our communities clean, safe, and thriving. Your voice matters, and we’d love to see you there.
The walkabouts last 1 - 2 hours and will be happening twice a month in various neighbourhoods across Ipswich Borough, with tenants welcome to attend.
We will be gathering feedback on their usefulness including any changes tenants wish to make in the future for example locations, timings, and the focus of the walkabouts.
