RESIDENTS still feeling the impacts of last October’s destructive hailstorms will this month be able to attend multiple Ipswich City Council dumps free of charge.
The decision came in response to widespread calls for further support, with many impacted by the storms still awaiting repairs to their properties more than six months on from the event.
