Ipswich Central chair Terry Baxter offers
an open invitation to join the Reviving Ipswich Town Centre conference and find out more about
ideas to renew the town centre.
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been devastating for our high streets and urban centres, and there is now extra pressure to create radical solutions and strategies to transform our town and city centres to meet the new needs of residents, businesses and visitors.
We have brought together a number of experts who will share their insights on what changes are underway and what opportunities this transformation could deliver for Ipswich for our virtual ‘Reviving Ipswich Town Centre’ conference; which is taking place tomorrow - Tuesday, April 13.

The concept of a ‘15-minute neighbourhood’ is by no means new, but it is certainly one that can benefit businesses and residents alike. Already utilised in cities such as Paris and Stockholm, a 15-minute neighbourhood provides residents with access to most, if not all, of their needs within a short walk or bike ride from their home; reducing car use and carbon emissions.
