Representation Summary:

This paragraph is factually inaccurate on a number of levels:
- A Wet Dock Crossing is not an alternative to a northern bypass, which addresses different traffic pressures.
- A northern bypass is principally needed to relieve local traffic congestion in north Ipswich resulting from planned housing development, not from very very disruptive but occasional closures of the Orwell Bridge.
- Modest proposals for a northern bypass could be accommodated partially or entirely within the Borough boundary.
