The Upper Orwell Crossings offer enormous benefits for growth and development in Ipswich. Our authorities should work together to consider how the Local Plan might support the realisation of some of the benefits identified within the business case for the bridges. Other than the Upper Orwell Crossings, our authorities should work together to promote sustainable transport infrastructure and measures for increasing the quality of sustainable transport routes and permeability by sustainable modes. For example, there are several locations where new pedestrian and cycle bridges could overcome barriers to movement, such as Bull Road and the Rosehill Centre, or over the River Gipping between Hadleigh Road and Sproughton Road.
