Ipswich paper campaigns against house-building

The Ipswich Evening Star has launched a three-pronged campaign to prevent thousands of houses being built on the Felixstowe peninsula. "We will be fighting for the rights of the community", says the paper. "The aim is not necessarily to stop development, but to ensure it is appropriate." The paper wishes to preserve "the rural character" of the twin villages of Trimley St Mary and Trimley St Martin. It also seeks to prevent over-development of nearby Walton. And, thirdly, it is seeking to ensure that the regeneration of Felixstowe is carried out with the consent of its residents. (Via Ipswich Evening Star)
