A £25million windfall for Ipswich from the government s Towns Deal Fund has been hailed as a fantastic boost which will have a transformative effect on its regeneration after Covid.
However, business and political leaders warned that after previous attempts to revamp the town: This time our approach must be different if we want to get it right.
The giant windfall was confirmed in the Budget on Wednesday.
It will enable work to be carried out on 11 projects, mainly in the town centre and Waterfront areas, which will be aimed at pump-priming a recovery in its fortunes after the shock of the Covid crisis.
