The only way in or out of Littles Kingdom. Yes a single lane bridge over the A14 for 5000 vehicle movements a day minimum. Crazy or what? This pic and many others can be accessed at my picture site. Just click here http://www.flickr.com/photos/ipswich/ and then click on the picture itself. At the top of the picture you will see a symbol which allows you to enlarge the picture. When you cross this small bridge you will see a sign to Bridgewood but if you go straight you will come to Littles Kingdom and if you look carefully, tucked away upon a telegraph pole you will see an application to Suffolk Coastal Council for planning permission for another 200 dwellings which is plain crazy considering they will also have to queue up to use the bridge. The whole road from Nacton Road is little more than a lane with passing bays along it in case two wide cars approach from opposite directions and now it is proposed to put up 200 more dwellings. I really do not understand why Ipswich Borough Council have not used their influence with Suffolk Coastal Council to stop not only this expansion but also cause the demolition of all dwellings on the south side of that bridge. Maybe Ipswich Council have some skeletons in their own cupboard they do not wish to be aired. OK well lets see. Ipswich Borough Council have spent literally hundreds of thousands of pounds of council money buying the land for Orwell Country Park off, I am informed by the council, a Dutchman! Why? The whole of the Orwell Country Park is owned and maintained by Ipswich Borough Council at great expense to council tax payers and the whole site is outside of the IBC boundary. It is in Suffolk Coastal Councils area and should be their responsibilty so why have Ipswich Council spent all this money. If you know anything then please e-mail me as I feel all is not all in the interests of IBC council tax payers.

About Me
- Name: pete
- Location: Ipswich, Suffolk, United Kingdom
My wife and I are both wheel chair users now and we have come to appreciate so many things we have always taken for granted such as a walk in the country. Obviously this is now out of the question but visiting the countryside is the next best thing. We are particularly attached to the Docks, the old airport area and Holywells Park as that is where we done most of our courting. Sadly change is inevitable and so much of our home town of Ipswich has now vanished as more houses and roads are built but we try to enjoy what is left. Join us on Our Ipswich facebook page.
