Ipswich Borough Council Local Plan Site Allocations and Policies (incorporating IP-One Area Action Plan) DPD Review - Final Draft

Representation Summary:

No coherent walking or cycling route. Especially problematic is the area around the roundabout near St Peters Church. A route from the waterfront/ river towpath is divided by the gyratory. River towpath too narrow to cycle on and surface keeps deteriorating. Is there any plan improving the towpath? More usage would make people confident using it. River path needs to be connected with the waterfront. Currently driving is still allowed there (area around the university and various cafes/ restaurants). Passing traffic also poses danger to children.

ABP supports the aspiration for a safe cycle and pedestrian access across the lock gates at the entrance to the Wet Dock to create a circular route subject to viability and ensuring Port operations are not compromised. ABP also supports the provision of new foot and cycle bridges across the New Cut linking Stoke Quay to St Peter’s Wharf and the Island site to Felaw Street subject to the provision of such bridges being supported by public funding.
