I'm delighted £1m has been secured for culture in Ipswich.

Our Government's 'Arts Everywhere' invests in places that bring our communities together.

Our libraries and theatres are the heart of our town. This funding will ensure they're protected and transformed for the future.

[Jack Abbott MP @jackabbott90]

The New Wolsey Theatre will benefit from vital upgrades that secure its long-term future, improve sustainability and ensure it remains a thriving cultural home for audiences and artists alike.

[Jack Abbott MP @jackabbott90]

Vital funding will also allow Ipswich County Library to become a more modern, accessible and inclusive space that supports learning, opportunity and digital inclusion for everyone in our town.

Just returned from the Holi Festival at Ipswich's Alexandra Park. It's always a joyful event and this year was no exception.

[John Cook @JohnCook1964]

@AnglianWater That's fine. Not my property but spotted it when walking past and doing my duty as a good neighbour. Thanks for responding.

[John Cook @JohnCook1964]

@AnglianWater Water leak coming from meter cover of 211 Woodbridge Road, Ipswich. Please address.

[John Cook @JohnCook1964]

@Suff_highways @suffolkcc The temporary traffic lights on Foxhall Road near Grove Lane, Back Hamlet junction are not working. Neither are there contractors on site as dar as I could see. Causing chaos. Please address immediately.

[NelsonMandela @NelsonMandela]

On 11 February, we remember the release of Nelson Mandela. A moment that marked the end of one long injustice and the beginning of a nation’s reckoning with freedom, dignity, and responsibility.

This year also marks 27 years of the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

27 years of carrying Madiba’s legacy forward, protecting his values, and advancing social justice in a democratic South Africa.

From 27 years behind bars to 27 years of legacy in action, the work of freedom continues.

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to show the country what Ipswich is made of.

I am proud of Ipswich, and that is why I am firing the starting gun on our City of Culture bid.

Join me and help build a new future for our town!

@EveningNews My grandfather worked here after returning from his military service in WW1.

[John Cook @JohnCook1964]

@GavinMontana All IBC ones are in car park locations. SCC councillors for division will have been consulted. My understanding us that parking spaces still open to all permit holders. 2/2

[John Cook @JohnCook1964]

@GavinMontana Suffolk County Council is the highways authority. I wasn't aware if this particular location because its in St Margaret's ward, but dimilar installations going in across the town. 1/2

[John Cook @JohnCook1964]

@AnglianWater You said you'd replace water meter at 27 Grange Road, IP4 1NP with a new (smart?) meter. You put cones & signage outside removing 2 parking spaces. Today you removed them without doing the job. What are you playing at?

[John Cook @JohnCook1964]

@AnglianWater And in the same area close to 30 Woodhouse Square, Ipswich. Another one.

[John Cook @JohnCook1964]

@AnglianWater Leak at/adjacent to water meter in Woodhouse Squre, Ipswich, probably serving 30 or 32 Rope Walk.

[John Cook @JohnCook1964]

@AnglianWater And another one, outside 81 Grimwade Street, Ipswich.

[John Cook @JohnCook1964]

@AnglianWater Water leak apparently from watermeter in St Clements Church Lane, Ipswich, by entrance to church.

[John Cook @JohnCook1964]

@AnglianWater Sign says you're aware, but also suggests work intended on 1st August, almost a week ago. Site is outside 11 and 13 Grove Lane, Ipswich. Please attend.
