Exploration and feasibility and build of a Northern Bypass is essential PRIOR to proceeding with this plan. It is insufficient to say "council will actively encourage key partners". It must be explored prior to development of Northern Fringe and enacted via section 106 requirements. Recent data shows an increase of 15 minutes on journey time coming from Northern Fringe development alone, nevermind other areas. Current Government Transport Minister has visited Ipswich and recognises a northern relief road/bypass is required, as has Ipswich MP Ben Gummer and countless representations including neighbourhood watch committees and multiple comments on this issue.
