About the River Action Group

The Group promotes improvements to the amenities of the Gipping corridor between Stoke Bridge and Sproughton.  Its aims are the creation of cycle and pedestrian paths including the provision of bridges across the river where possible.

Much has been achieved, much more remains to be done.

a river for all is the objective of the River Action Group, which was formed from amenity and wildlife groups and local community bodies working with Ipswich Borough Council to promote new opportunities for the people of Ipswich to enjoy their river.

The River Action Group has enjoyed the help and active co-operation of:

Also many unnamed people whose work with their minds and hands or by machine has made the River Path come to life.

Volunteers at Princes Street                     Volunteers working at the Old Cattle Yard site

And the people of Ipswich, who for long have wanted more and better access to their river.
