2025 has been a year of fantastic progress and achievement for Ipswich Borough Council and I am immensely proud of everyone for playing their part to make our borough a thriving and inclusive one.
Wildlife protection work for the winter season has begun with intensive duckweed prevention measures on the ponds throughout Holywells Park to help enhance and maintain natural habitats and ecosystems.
The construction of the Eastern Gateway business park remains on track for completion in 2026, with hundreds of new jobs already created, and hundreds more to follow in a massive boost for the local economy.
Ipswich Borough Council will continue to operate many services over the Christmas and New Year period, including HEARS, bin collections, car parks, fitness centres, swimming pools, theatres, and parks.
Christmas and New Year is a time of celebration in Ipswich but not everyone enjoys this time of year. We are encouraging everyone to support each other this festive season and get involved in projects and campaigns that highlight causes and provide support services for local people.
