Deaf to the comments of Labour councillors and members of the public, the Tories and Liberals running Ipswich Borough Council last night made it clear that they are going to press ahead with their plans to sell-off Ipswich Buses and close Area Housing Offices.

The best they could come up with on the bus company was to claim the sell-off was not a done deal, this despite six months of talks with the buyer.

Residents questioning the closure of housing officers were patronised by the portfolio holder, who gave them two dictionary definitions of "consultation", neither of which described what they had actually done.
