I think its about time we had an image related to Ipswich for the sub icon and for the banner. I've enabled images to be added in comments so add any photos you've taken of Ipswich and the surrounding area as a comment to this post and upvote the images shared by others which you like.

I feel people are happy to have a go at Ipswich and point out its flaws so instead, lets share some of the beauty the town and the surrounding area have.

I'll leave this post up for a while and then the highest upvoted pictures can be used as our new sub icon and banner (if apropriate).

And please remember to upvote other pictures that have been added which you like so we have a fair vote on what pictures are chosen.

Tips for food and a night out

Hi

I'm looking for suggestions to a place in Ipswich to have a nice dinner (preferebly some modern cuisine), could anybody help me there?

And where in the city do young, single people in their 20's and 30's go out on a Friday or Saturday night?

Dogs running at kids

Had 8 different dogs run at my kids this morning in the park. Usually dog owners are great, but the worst of them all seemed to be out this morning. One didn't even take a lead for a dog that doesn't recall and seemed to think it was OK.

Anyone else have these issues? Kids are absolutely terrified now. I'd rather they like dogs not see them as a scary monster.

Car Servicing

Hey all, looking for recommendations for a car service. I have a pretty old 07 Astra I bought in May as my first car and its last service was last September I think.

I’ve seen DD recommended but £350 for a service for a car this age seems a bit extreme. I don’t really have the space on my drive to do the work myself (oil and spark plug change) and probably best I get the first one done by a professional.

Ubiquiti equipment - any local users?

Bit of an unusual one.

Does anyone in the local area use ubiquiti equipment? If so, could I pop around to adopt and update my U5G backup?

I’ve currently got no internet for a few months and bought the U5G backup for my system to use instead of a temporary 5G router which I’m currently using. Unfortunately, I’m not able to adopt and update the U5G without an internet connection first…

Would be very appreciative if anyone can help! I reckon it’d take less than an hour.

EDIT: To be clearer, I’m currently using a 4g hotspot device with no ability to connect via Ethernet, wireless only. Which is why I can’t route this through my UCG-max (As far as I can tell!)

EDIT 2: Thanks to u/Visual-Ad-4520 for helping me get this sorted. I’ve now got useable internet again until my fibre install goes ahead.

Solar eclipse glasses

Does anyone know anywhere in Ipswich or nearby selling solar eclipse glasses for this Wednesday? I’ve looked on Amazon but none of them will arrive in time.

Thanks!

Does anyone know why the A14 from Copdock, over the bridge, and to the Eastern side of town all rough bumpy concrete.

Bit of a random thought I had but I cant help but notice that an awful lot of that section of the A14 appears effectively neglected by the council with bumps and crags in it that are years old not getting much on the way of repairs while everything West and north of Copdock consists of well-maintained smooth tarmac.

I could imagine that the concrete might be due to unstable or soft ground nearer the river but I'd be interested to know if there's someone from the council who works on the road development side of things who knows the answer

Loft/Roof Builder Recommendations

Is this mould??? 😭😭😭

Looking for some quotes for some work in my mum's loft and possibly roof. We suspect there is a small leak as we could hear a dripping noise coming from the loft on and off for a while, then finally a small stain appeared in a bedroom ceiling last time it rained (which feels like months ago...). I popped my head up in to the loft and could see some of the insulation has been disturbed (I think this was from botched attempts at roof repairs previously) and has some dark patches which I'm hoping are not mould, but I don't have the equipment or expertise to get up there and find out what's going on.

Does anyone have a recommendation of someone who can investigate and make appropriate repairs or remove the insulation if that is required.

Thank you

Increase in tourists in the town?

Has anyone noticed an increase in tourists to Ipswich this year? It feels like every week when I walk through town I see groups wondering around the town centre / waterfront / Christchurch park.
