Who would have thought this elegant structure could give us all so much grief #ipswich

We're facing a summer of traffic and tailbacks in Ipswich.

It didn't have to be like this, but the Suffolk Conservatives chose to block the Northern Bypass with no credible alternative.

Their 'do nothing' approach has led us to breaking point.

It's time to Back the Bypass and get Ipswich moving.

Years of inertia regarding the Orwell Bridge and a Northern Bypass is hurting both Ipswich and Suffolk.

That's why I'm urging the Government to elevate it out of the local political quagmire, and give it the attention it deserves by designating it as nationally significant infrastructure.

The Northern Bypass is a project of local, regional, and national significance. It is a project on which the long-term future of our town and county hinges.

We must act or we will all pay a worsening price for years to come.

Bluesky for politics and the scary stuff, threads for homely miscellany,

Imagine if the lives of the average citizen were as important to the Media as the wealth of the richest billionaires.

Now imagine if it was far more important, like it should be.

Lovely morning on the Deben

So, I think it's a win for bluesky, far more proper stuff and far less pointless questions...

So I think I get it now, seems a bit more grown up here than Threads, let's give it a go, and follow some of the good guys and gals 😀
