Town Centre
Ipswich Labour attack anyone who raises concerns about the Town Centre as “talking down the Town”. It’s not. The reality is that when I knock on doors it comes up time and time again. Thousands of Ipswich residents are avoiding their own Town centre because of concerns about crime and anti-social behaviour.
We secured funding through the shared prosperity fund and the safer streets fund to help boost Police presence in the Town centre but we need to do more than this. Ipswich Borough Council and the local Police need to adopt a zero tolerance attitude to those making others feel uncomfortable and unsafe. They need to use the powers that they have.
Please watch this video where I set out my views in more detail.
