people with shops

I was honoured to attend the official opening of the redeveloped Henley Rise shopping parade off Fircroft Road in North Ipswich. This exciting project breathes new life into a cherished local hub, demonstrating the power of investing in our communities.

The improved facilities not only enhance everyday convenience for residents but also strengthen the sense of community in North Ipswich. This redevelopment is a fantastic example of what can be achieved when local stakeholders collaborate to revitalise shared spaces.

I’d like to thank everyone involved in bringing this vision to life. Henley Rise now stands as a vibrant hub that will benefit our community for years to come.
