Ipswich Wildlife Group are delighted with the decision of Ipswich Borough Council’s Executive committee to revoke the decision to sell Kiln Meadow.

IWG Chairman Ray Sidaway said: “The ‘Save Kiln Meadow’ campaign has been long and complicated. The low point was when the previous administration decided to sell the site last July without due consideration for the important wildlife on the site.

There are significant populations of toads, dormice and reptiles. It is also a great open space on the edge of Ipswich, easily accessible, well-used and loved by local people.” This is a landmark decision. Ipswich Wildlife Group look forward to working closely with the council to safeguard the future of the site for the benefit of wildlife and the folk of Ipswich.
