Decision details

The Council is responsible for the management of on-street paid for parking places in Ipswich on behalf of Suffolk County Council who are the Traffic Authority. This includes the parking place (‘car park’) at Cromwell Square, Ipswich, IP1 1TR.

Screen Suffolk (a production company) requested to suspend 30 Parking spaces for filming, a decision has been made to suspend the parking spaces on Friday-14th October 2022 from 08:00-14:00.

Signage will be placed to inform users of the car park of the suspensions in advance of when the parking spaces will be suspended. This will help to minimise any inconvenience to the public.

Screen Suffolk will be charged for the loss of income and a suspension fee.

The main alternative would be to not suspend the 30 parking spaces in parking place, but the filming event would always portray positive image of the local area and Ipswich.

Reason:

To allow for the filming event to be carried out.
