Ipswich Policy Area

The Ipswich Policy Area (IPA) includes the area administered by Ipswich Borough Council. It also includes neighbouring local communities that have a functional relationship with Ipswich.

Cross boundary planning and cooperation brings many benefits.

The Board of the IPA contains councillors and officers from local authorities.

The local authorities involved are:

  • Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils
  • East Suffolk Council
  • Ipswich Borough Council
  • Suffolk County Council
