Purpose: The Council owns and operates several public car parks in Ipswich, including Portman Road C Car Park, Portman Road Ipswich IP1 2BP.   70 bays within the car park will need to be closed to carry out repair works and to fill in potholes within the car park. The works will start on Wednesday 10 September and finish on Thursday 11 September. Preparation for the closure of these bays will commence on the evening of the 9th of September.   Sites are sequenced to minimise overlap and maximise resource efficiency. Traffic-management measures comply with Chapter 8 guidance. Works off the carriageway will avoid unnecessary signing where safe clearances and pedestrian widths can be maintained.   Communication with car-park users is essential; marshals will provide real-time guidance.
