OD/21/111 Portman Road Car Park Closure of 6 Bays

Decision Maker: Officer Decision

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The Council owns and operates several public car parks in Ipswich, including the Portman Road B Car Park located on Portman Road, Ipswich.

 

The Council has received an internal request to suspend 6 parking bays in the car park on Saturday 26th March 2022. This request has been submitted as part of the Safer Street 3 project which is aiming to reduce crime in the Norwich Road area. The bays will be required to locate an advertising van with a digital screen on the side to promote the project. The bays will be along

the edge of the car park facing Portman Road A Car Park to maximise publicity.

 

The potential lost income for the suspension of the bays will be funded by the project so no income will be lost as a result of the bay suspension.

Decision:

To utilise the powers within the Ipswich Borough Council (Off-Street Parking Places) Order 2020 to suspend 6 bays in Portman Road B Car Park.

 

Reason:

To allow the advertising vehicle to be located and the project promoted.
