The cost of new applications for tourist signing is £180. Cheques or Postal Orders should be made payable to “Suffolk County Council” and crossed “A/C payee only” and sent to:
Safety and Speed Management TeamSuffolk HighwaysPhoenix House3 Goddard RoadIPSWICHSuffolk IP1 5NP(Coming soon on-line payments by Credit or Debit Card)
You will be responsible for all costs associated with your application including the costs of the Design, Manufacture, and Erection of the signs if your application is successful. You will also be responsible for on-going maintenance of the signs including replacement if they are damaged.
We are unable to consider any applications until we receive a completed application form and payment.
Charges when your application is successful
If the application is successful you will be sent a communication by either a letter or e-mail confirming your application has been successful. We will then seek a design and construction estimate from our Professional Services team, which can take up to 4-weeks to be obtained and e-mail you a copy of the estimate when available.
The design and construction estimate will vary for each application depending on the number, type and location of signing being requested. The design and construction estimate will also include a sum to cover the costs of future sign removal should the destination close or no longer meets the criteria for signing the destination.
If you are seeking signing on a trunk road, a separate estimate will be provided by Highways England on the likely costs associated with these particular signs.
Once you confirm you are happy with the design and construction estimate in writing by e-mail, you will be sent an invoice with details on how to make a payment. No design work will commence until we receive payment.
Charges when your application is not successful
If the application is not successful, then you will not be refunded the £180 application fee.
