Ipswich Today

Locals petition Ipswich council objecting to a proposed new public loo in Spring Lake Park while another petition to expand pools hours gets the thumbs down, advisory committee to get non-council members, city heart consultation looks at the bigger picture, change of meeting date for committees in August, councillors object to the closing of Amberley post office, and Box Flat’s 54th anniversary. Mayor Teresa Harding joins the show after the July meeting of Ipswich City Council.
