With so many of the senior Ipswich Borough councillors up for election this year, the polls on Thursday next week could make for an interesting contest - not least as the Covid-19 pandemic means this is no regular election.
Ordinarily a global health crisis doesn t come into the campaign trail of parties contesting the Ipswich Borough Council election.
But with that being such an all-consuming issue for more than a year now, it will be the chief thought for many voters. Indeed the very elections themselves were meant to take place last year before the coronavirus pandemic delayed that.
