Last week we published Ipswich Borough Council’s budget for the coming year. The dominating factor in the Council’s finances is, of course, the effect of coronavirus. Like all councils this has involved us in extra spending to support people through the pandemic.
Since March we have delivered over 1,000 food parcels and taken over 2,000 calls from people seeking our support via the Home, But Not Alone service. We have paid out more than £31m of business grants to support over 2,000 local businesses.
Keeping vital services going like collecting bins, the HEARS community alarm service and our fabulous parks has involved greater spending to make them “Covid-secure”.
