IPSWICH'S burgeoning Waterfront has created gated developments with no sense of community and few facilities for people to enjoy. That was the view today of one of the organisers of a community day being organised to try to bring the residents of the plush waters-edge developments together   Photo's courtesy of Ipswich evening Star

I would on behalf of the Waterfront Community Group like to give a huge “Thank You” to everyone who was involved in the first Waterfront Community Day on Saturday which attracted nearly 1000 visitors with many being from the Waterfront. The day was organised by the Waterfront Community Group which has the Strapline ”Working towards a vibrant and thriving waterfront community”. The event was organised to: Make contacts in the community - Begin to engage - Identify concerns - Provide a welcome and get together for residents and business - Provide opportunities for organisations in the community to promote themselves. The day was a tremendous success and the amount of networking going on between residents was amazing and achievements were made in all areas. Many people completed questionnaires to get their views

Special Thanks to the Organisations Represented at the Waterfront Community Day
