Those unable to attend Tuesday's culture and heritage strategy workshop at St Stephen's Church can still contribute their views through an online survey, Ipswich Borough Council has confirmed.
Why it matters: Following the well-attended first session that gathered input from over 30 cultural leaders, the council is now seeking wider participation to inform its new Culture and Heritage Strategy.
Context: Tuesday's workshop brought together representatives from across Ipswich's cultural and heritage sectors to discuss challenges and opportunities for the town's cultural future, identifying key themes including civic pride, perception challenges, and infrastructure needs.
The details: The online survey, available until 24 February, provides an alternative way for residents to share their thoughts on similar topics to those discussed at the workshop.
What they're saying: "We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, ideas, and insights to help shape the future of culture and heritage in Ipswich," said Beccy Coombs, Economic Development Project Manager at Ipswich Borough Council.
How to participate: The survey can be accessed at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CulHer
What's next: All feedback will be "collated and analysed as part of the consultation process" before the final strategy is published in April, though questions remain about further consultation opportunities before the strategy is finalised.
The bottom line: This represents a final opportunity for additional voices to contribute to the strategy before the consultation period ends on 24 February.
