The current system encourages long stay commuter parking and short stay shopper parking in central Ipswich. This is a mistake. It results in congestion and pollution and has made the town look like a permanent car park. I should like to see permit-holder schemes introduced for residents in the town centre and in the areas south of the river, adequate spaces for blue badge holders and electric vehicles. Overall there should be a reduction of the number of parking spaces available.
