Description:

Ipswich is the closest city for nearly half a million people which makes it a major city when talking within catchment terms.  Unemployment is lower than the average and there are two hi-tech business parks – IP City & Adastral Park, both rapidly expanding providing further jobs.  There has been a trend of call centres locating to Ipswich by some of the large financial and insurance companies which further keeps the unemployment rate down.

Ipswich is in a prime location on the trans-European Transport Network, connecting the UK and the Benelux countries. These routes constantly improve and are heavily invested in to enhance their key role in the European Union - which we will see pay off in later years.

A £20 million investment has been made for the Cardinal Park leisure development incorporating an 11-screen UGC cinema complex, Brannigan's Music Bar, night-club, casino and restaurants, all just five minutes walk from the town centre and the historic waterfront.  Since 1999 over £4m has guaranteed from the Single Regeneration Budget and from the English Partnerships for residential and business development.
