Future Aims
Location: Suffolk
The River Action Group meets bi-monthly and has done for many years. This is done in partnership with Strategic Planning of the council and so has a lot of influence on planning direction.
Ipswich Wildlife Group still considers the River to be of importance to our town and influencing in this way is our main input. We have applied and been granted landfill tax money to remove a fence and landscape an area further upstream from this site; this will enable the national cycleway to ultimately be routed further along the riverpath. Included in the bid are interpretation signs which will extend those provided by LHI. We now need to seek the £800 money to pay the landfill operator.
We have also commented upon the new Local Development Plan that is in its first phase of consultation (July 2006); one of the key areas to comment upon, as far as the River is concerned, is the lower goods sidings adjacent to the LHI site. If this can be made into a Riverside Park it would put the River back as a key part of Ipswich.
A significant number of other schemes are being looked at by other members but these are those that IWG are specifically directly involved with. We will continue with our association in making this a River for All. The LHI has started ensuring the people of Ipswich (Gippswick) no longer turn its back on its roots on the banks of the River Gipping.”
