Ipswich Local List

Meanwhile, Councillor Carole Jones and IBC Conservation Officer, Gail Broom, are to be commended for the work done on the Supplementary Planning Document: 'Local List (Buildings of Townscape Interest)'. This SPD gives modified protection to over 600 Borough buildings not 'important' enough to be accorded national Listed status by English Heritage, but nonetheless precious to Ipswich residents. Society members should find this of great interest. For more information, here is the link.

We are delighted to spread the word about the Local List, as it was an Ipswich Society initiative and Mike Cook attended all the meetings to draw up the list. Much more on this in a future issue.
