Council ups the ante on its commitment to buy local with a formal ‘buy Ipswich approach’ in the new procurement policy. Why is council using emergency powers under the Local Government Regulation to extend some contracts? And a ratepayer reprieve on selling properties for overdue rates even though they have been unpaid for at least three years. Highlights from the extraordinary meeting of Ipswich City Council held 17 June 2020. Published: 18 June 2020. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com Additional audio from council's YouTube channel.
