Ipswich Borough Council outrageous parking hike plans

Post by hallamblue » Tue Sep 03, 2024 5:51 pm

Just to warn people who travel in to was Town from afar. The IBC have a reported, predicted, £22m + shortfall in funding and are planning a raft of cuts to save money.

But one of their planned items to claw in money that caught my eye is their plans to raise car parking fees in the the car parks around Portman Rd on match days, from the reported £6 to a whopping £15!!!!!

How the hell can they justify that? I don't think ITFC will be very impressed.

Shame as I always parked in the main car park and found it excellent value. (Plus suitable for my dad and his mobility issues).

Has anyone used the park and ride?

The train is ok but it’s a rip off - even driving an hour each way to Ipswich in a thirsty car and parking it’s way cheaper than two train tickets.
