Decision details

OD/22/143 Portman Road D Care Park Temporary Closure

Decision Maker: Officer Decision

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The Council owns and operates a number of public car parks in Ipswich, including Portman Road D Car Park, Ipswich, IP1 2BP.

 

Ipswich Town FC requested to hire Portman Road D Car Park for their exclusive use on football match day-Saturday 4th March 2023.

 

Signage will be placed to inform users of the car park of the closure in advance of when the parking spaces will be closed. This will help to minimise any inconvenience to the public. ITFC will be charged for the loss of income and a closure fee.

 

The main alternative would be to not close car park, but the closure is required as it will allow for smooth traffic flow on the match day.

Decision:

To utilise the powers within the Ipswich Borough Council (Off-Street Parking Places) Order 2022 to close The Portman Road D Car Park for a temporary period (expected to be Saturday-4th March 2023).

 

Reason:

To allow for the car park to be closed for the use of ITFC.
