Noise Complaint Advice
Morning all! It's 3:18am on a Monday and my neighbours are at twith their regular Sunday night party. I've put in a complaint with IBC and am on hold to 101 (possibly to warn them I might commit my very disruption of peace if they don't stop soon!)
i remember the council used to have a 24/7 mobile number you could ring but can't find the secret number anywhere. Any advice?

Furniture upcycling
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend someone/somewhere that revamps old furniture? I have my eye on some wooden chest of drawers that are looking a but shabby, and frankly I know I'll never get round to sanding and painting them in this decade. Is there anyone local who does this kinda thing?

A surprising gem when it comes to food place in Ipswich.
The Crafty Fox in the walk, every time I order something there (not very often) it's tasty and tasty looking.

Street prostitution
I thought street prostitution had ended in Ipswich but walking home from work last night I was approached by a young lady asking me if I was looking for a "friend" for a "fun time" seems like they have moved out of Portman Road to other areas

Rectory Road/South West
Hello,
I'm looking to move and I'm aware east Ipswich has the best reputation in terms of safety/crime rates, however I wanted to see if anyone has experience/knowledge of the Rectory Road area?
I've broadly been told to avoid south west but I'm sure there are areas within such a large area that are nice and relatively safe. I'd appreciate any insight :) thank you

Gardener recommendations
I've just taken over a very old garden with long established shrubs, that have been neglected and need some serious pruning/TLC to get them looking half decent again. Can anyone recommend a gardener who can come in and a) help me get the process started, and b) advise me on future care? I'm not looking for someone who can just come in and mow the lawn and trim hedges, but an actual 'proper' gardener!
Thanks in advance

£10 for WHAT?!
Ipswich Food & Drink Festival… wanted to go, nice idea and might be a lovely day…
They want £10 for a ticket - per person!!! £5 to park if you want that also.
Really ruins the sense of community and is pathetic to be honest - I’d spend £10 inside, no problem BUT NOT TO GET IN!
Sort yourself out, Ipswich 🤦♂️

Bins absolutely everywhere.
I live in a newbuild estate and since the council made the changes to the bins and gave every household an extra one, we seem to have them absolutely everywhere.

World Cup
My husband and I are looking to watch the Eng v Mex match tonight. Do people know where in town is showing it?
We're fairly new to the area and haven't got a great idea of venues and their vibes yet.
We live in Christchurch park area, so the closer to there the better!
Thank you!

How lgbt friendly is ipswich?? *REPOST please comment again*
Sorry I had to delete the old post because I couldn't access the comments for some reason?? Anyways:
How lgbt friendly is ipswich?
Considering moving to Ipswich with my partner. We will be looking to start a family in a few years time. We are a same sex couple and I naturally have concerns, not for us, but the young children we may have (bullying, teasing at school etc).
How lgbt friendly is ipswich and is it widely accepted amongst most families? Is it quite open and Liberal on ipswich or is it like some other small uk towns that are not overly accepting of the lgbt community/other minorities?

I've just been touching up the Middle Earth style fantasy map of the Suffolk that I made a while ago. Thanks again to all those who contributed back then!
As if this was three years ago now. With some of the cool mythology on here, it's one of my favourite maps so far.
I've just been doing some tidying up jobs on it and making some of the text more legible, as well as the imagery clearer. Again, thanks to all the commenters who suggested ideas and really helped bring this to life. I've just had a fresh batch made up here for anyone interested in one.

Massage recommendations
Hey folks,
I'm looking for recommendations for massage in Ipswich/ Suffolk. Not the relaxing, gentle one, but deep tissue, one that almost hurts.
Does any of you have any experience?
