Decision details

The Council owns and operates several public car parks in Ipswich, including the St. Peter’s Dock Car Park located on Bridge Street, Ipswich IP1 1XH.

Works are required for the repairs and maintenance of the surface of the car park and as such, in order that these works can be carried out safely, a decision has been made to temporarily close the car park on Thursday 7th April 2022.

Signage will be placed to inform users of the car park of the temporary closure both when it is closed and in advance of the closure and alternative public parking is available nearby. This will help to minimise any lost income to the Council and inconvenience to the public.

The main alternative would be to not carry out the repair works but these works are required to avoid a health and safety risk to the users of the car park.

To utilise the powers within the Ipswich Borough Council (Off-Street Parking Places) Order 2020 to close St. Peter’s Dock Car Park for a temporary period (expected to be on Thursday 7th April 2022).

Reason:

To allow for repairs and maintenance works to be carried out to the surface of the car park.
