This includes the planned schemes on Nacton Road, Woodbridge Road and the Hospital to Waterfront route.

I was proud to support a 6.7% pay rise for 1000s of social care workers.
Our Government will go further: the Employment Rights Bill will establish an Adult Social Care Negotiating Body to ensure a fair deal for people in Ipswich and beyond who make such an important contribution to our community.

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”.

🦷 15,500 desperately needed dental appointments for our area, delivering on the promise we made.
Combined with the important work being undertaken at the University of Suffolk Dental CIC, I hope we will soon be able to put an end to our county’s dental desert.

On the day, he was asked to leave the area by a community officer who spoke to him for 1hr 40 mins - but he refused.
