Decision details

The previous decision made on 16.12.22 has been amended due to the request change from the NHS from 14 suspended bays to full car park closure.

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.

Suffolk & North Essex NHS have requested the full closure of Cromwell Square to position a bus which is visiting various locations in the region, educating people on entry level roles within the health & social care sector. They will be conducting interviews with candidates and giving conditional offers of employment on the day. The remaining bays will be used by the staff that are attending the event. The event would take place on Thursday 12 January 2023 and the bays would be suspended between the hours of 06.00hrs and 19.30hrs.

Suffolk & North Essex NHS will be charged for the loss of income and a suspension fee.
