Stop filtering buses from East Ipswich up to Tower Ramparts - get a better mix of Tower Ramparts / Central Ipswich / Ipswich Train Station

The gyratory system needs to be safer for vulnerable road users (cyclists, pedestrians and especially wheelchair and other users with disabilities).

The Star Lane and College Street / Key Street gyratory impacts heavily on the historic environment. It severs connectivity between the town centre and Waterfront, and directly impacts on listed buildings and scheduled monuments and their settings. Improving the current situation is critical to successfully regenerating and knitting back together these historic parts of Ipswich.

The Star Lane gyratory system presently restricts and endangers pedestrian and cycle routes to and from the Waterfront. It should be rethought with the primary aim of improving the vista through to Waterfront and of creating a sense of arrival rather than a barrier.

Continued support for the Upper Orwell Crossings as they have the potential to allow changes to the gyratory that would benefit the town as a whole.

Ipswich Vision were due to have published a plan for the Star Lane gyratory this year. Ipswich Borough Council tendered out an opportunity for public realm improvements.
Star Lane gyratory was never going to be suitable, the future for this area would consist of giving better alternative routes. Public transport isn't a solution as the AQMA monitoring station on Fore Street which is heavily used by buses was at dangerous high levels and much higher than other areas used by lorries, vans and cars.

The County Council as Highway Authority will work with partners to consider what changes to the gyratory are necessary or desirable to improve connectivity between the town centre and Waterfront, based changes in traffic flows arising from the delivery of the Upper Orwell Crossings. There may be opportunities for local environmental improvements and better cycling connectivity between the east and west of the town.
