Emerging Policy DM18: Car and Cycle Parking - this policy proposes to move away from maximum parking standards and seeks to ensure developments comply with the minimum standards of car and cycle parking adopted by the County Council. We support this policy.

Car and Cycle Parking (P105) - there seems to be a lack of comprehension that the majority of shoppers and visitors to the town centre do, and will always, prefer to use their car. Retailers also prefer car-borne shoppers who are likely to buy more. It is imperative that Ipswich does everything that it can to attract back the car user, particularly after the Travel Ipswich project that has done much to damage reputations. Ipswich must not be perceived or, worse still become, anti-car.

We think that there is a need for the Council to develop a policy for long and short-stay parking which reflects the real-time economy and is integral to parking strategy for the town (both long and short stay)
