Late last year, the government also announced details of a new £4billion Levelling Up Fund to support the “infrastructure of everyday life” and “community projects”.
It has been made clear to me that Ipswich will be eligible to benefit from this fund, just as it will benefit from the Stronger Towns Fund. A lot more detail still has to be released, but this is a very promising development.
What we do know is that the levelling up agenda needs to be applied to our town and there are specific parts of our town that have great potential but need additional investment.
