These plans will permanently change the character of my beloved of #Ipswich in #Suffolk, damaging local businesses & cause harm the independence of disabled people.
Help Us Fight for the rights of our Elderly, Disabled, Football Fans & local Businesses

The taxi drivers have stood up as we will lose our livelihood & income with this change, but it is also important to fight the injustice too, the silent ones in our community are being disadvantaged & the council are playing ignorant to it. The council doesn’t appreciate or respect the diverse nature of our clients & how...
