Monthly walkabouts and talkabouts
As part of our tenant engagement calendar, Ipswich Borough Council‘s monthly activities in local areas are designed to bring tenants, leaseholders, councillors, housing officers, staff and tenant representatives together to make a difference where it matters most.
Following on from our highly successful spring and summer Walkabouts, we are now committed to ensuring that opportunities to talk to our different service areas are not disrupted by the unpredictable seasons ahead. We have tailored our upcoming Talkabout events to take place at various communal spaces around the town.
Tenants are invited to attend these drop-in sessions that will focus on various themes involving Ipswich Borough Council's service areas.
We will be gathering feedback on issues raised including any events tenants wish to see in the future. For example locations, timings, and the focus of the Talkabouts.
All Talkabout events to take place between 10am-12pm unless specified.
