Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 24734

Received: 26/10/2017

Respondent: Mr Christopher Wrathall

Representation Summary:

Yes, at the various access points to the urban area (Park and Ride). Where possible these P&R access points should be increased and improved. (Incidentally, it might be of interest to have car-share and EV hire schemes running from these points.)
With reference to my previous comment for this question, I want to make it clear that I think that no additional car parks should be built close to the town centre. I think that existing Park and Ride facilities should be extended and new Park and Ride facilities should be created at key entry points close to the A12 and A14.

Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review

Respondent: Alice Martin

Representation Summary:

Car parks are plentiful within the town. Why not turn a number of the car parks into multi-storey car parks and build on the other car parks. Cheap car parking is plentiful in the town. A reduction in the number of car parking spaces could seek to promote sustainable modes of transport reducing the traffic in the town. [N.B. Comment duplicated from Q20 to ensure it is also picked up under car parking].

Yes - if Ipswich is really struggling to meet its housing needs then surely a town centre recycling centre should be reallocated elsewhere. Car parks are plentiful within the town.

Respondent: Ipswich Central

Representation Summary:

Whilst issues of congestion are noted, Ipswich must be seen to be 'open for business' for the car-borne visitor. We believe that the number of poor quality, temporary car parking sites should be restricted and that opportunities for quality, often multi-storey, provision stimulated. Ideally, the town would have four major car parks, one within each of the Eastgate, Westgate, Central and Saints/Waterfront Quarters.

Issues and Options for the Ipswich Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 25448

Received: 30/10/2017

Respondent: Suffolk County Council

Representation Summary:

The County and Borough Councils are already working together to consider potential answers to these questions. Car parking provision needs to strike a balance between supporting the vitality of the town centre and managing congestion.
As part of this ongoing work, and based on the opportunity afforded by the Local Plan review, the Borough Council should reconsider the boundary of the central car parking core and how it relates to, for example, employment development in the Princes Street area.
