While the risk of snow and ice is an ever present possibility in this area, the actual occurrence of problems tends to be sporadic and very hard to predict. Many local businesses do not want or cannot justify paying for year round personnel to manage this important health and safety function. But neither do they want their business to be brought to a standstill or suffer from lost income in the event that a problem does occur.

About Ipswich
Ipswich is a market town which has grown and developed out of all recognition in recent years. Its primary industries have traditionally been a mixture of agricultural and trade, but this has expanded to include other types of services such as insurance and technology. Ipswich stands on the A14, a major arterial route connecting nearby Felixstowe docks with routes to London, Cambridge and the midlands. The A14 is a major route for commercial traffic with many haulage, distribution and warehousing firms located on the outskirts of Ipswich. It is also used by Ipswich commuters who use it as a ring road around the south part of the town. Any disruption to this route due to weather or accidents, tends to affect the whole town’s traffic flow. Similarly, any traffic blockage within the town soon shows up as traffic jams on the A14 as people try to find alternative routes.
In the centre of town there is a thriving shopping centre which is a mixture of large multi storey developments existing alongside smaller shops in a network of narrow streets dating back to medieval times. There are a number of out of town shopping areas and retail parks, as well as industrial estates, which are home to a wide variety of local businesses.
Ipswich is well known for its trendy dock area, which is home to contemporary waterside apartments and a wide variety of bars and restaurants which look out over the marina. Also the location of the University Campus Suffolk, the area is bustling with life and is set to continue expanding in the years to come.
