Decision details

OD/22/15 Temporary Closure of Crown Car Park

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 Crown Car Park located on Charles Street, Ipswich IP1 3HS.

 

Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd June 2022 are Bank holidays which will mean the demand for the car park will be considerably less than normal working days. As a result, it has been decided that, the opening hours of Crown Car Park will be reduced as follows:  

 

·         2nd June 2022 (Bank Holiday Thursday) From 08:00-18:30 to 08:30-18:00

 

·         3rd June 2022 (Bank Holiday Friday) From 08:00-23:30 to 08:30-18:00

 

Signage will be placed to inform users of the car park of the reduced operating opening hours both when it is closed and in advance of the closure and advise of the alternative public parking available nearby.

 

The main alternative would be not to reduce the opening hours which would incur the cost of staff covering the car while occupancy level is very low.

Decision:

To utilise the powers within the Ipswich Borough Council (Off-Street Parking Places) Order 2020 to close Crown Car Park for a temporary period (expected to be on Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd June 2022) to allow for reduced opening hours of the car park to meet the fall in demand during the Bank Holiday.
