When you decide to divide a city or major conurbation - leaving one side with inferior representation - it is bound to have detrimental and divisive effects to the locality and all its stakeholders. So, please do object to the ludicrous #Boundary Commission plans to lump North Ipswich with Stowmarket (link: https://boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-06-08-Eastern-Initial-Proposals-27.-Ipswich-North-and-Stowmarket-CC.pdf).
Keep in mind that Ipswich returned two constituency seats for 532 years (from 1386 to 1918). Why does Norfolk support equal sized Norwich having two seats? Because it brings power, prosperity and influence to Norfolk. Why does the #Boundary Commission and rural Suffolk continue to water down Ipswich's voice and undermine its major regional centre? It makes no sense. It just sells Ipswich and Suffolk short.
Ipswich has nothing in common with Stowmarket or Needham Market. A proposed seat that covers Whitton and Kesgrave to Grundiburgh to Stowmarket! It leaves North Ipswich urban voters unrepresented and detached from the rest of Ipswich yet again (as has happened with the "Dog's Breakfast" Central Suffolk & North Ipswich (CSNI) seat. Ipswich was ENTITLED to, DESERVES and NEEDS its full two seats).
An Ipswich East and Ipswich West would be far better; ensuring fair representation for all who share the Ipswich area conurbation. In fact it would have even made sense for an Ipswich West seat; and Ipswich East & Felixstowe seat: at least we share the same peninsula, highways, rail, river, labour force and port needs as Felixstowe.
