Ipswich Today

Sculpture mystery solved, Christmas lights puzzle, memories of meeting Bill Hayden and happy lappers


Listen Later

What’s behind the removal of the River Heart Parklands sculpture, when did Christmas lights on the outside of houses become a thing, memories of encounters with Bill Hayden and the resurgence of lappers in Ipswich Central. Walter Williams and Ashleigh Mac join the show for our regular yarn over the back fence. We also hear from Cr Andrew Fechner about the future location options for the sculpture and he reveals his intentions for the council election next year.
