Ipswich - Transport Fit for the 21st Century
The County Council has developed a comprehensive major scheme
business case 'Ipswich - Transport Fit for the 21st Century'. The
scheme includes new bus stations, a computerised traffic management
system, real time bus information and improvements to make it
easier to walk and cycle around Ipswich town centre. We estimate
that the scheme will cost about £17 million.
As part of our Provisional Local transport Plan we
have asked the Government to provide the funds for this scheme so
that we can start to build it in 2007/2008. We expect to get a
response to our bid after the end of January 2006.
