Our vision for Princes Street is to create a street where everyone can move around comfortably and safely. We’re proposing improvements between the Chancery Road/Grafton Way junction and Civic Drive to make walking and cycling easier and safer. This work represents the first step in improving connections between Ipswich Train Station and the town centre.
This proposal incorporates the following key elements:
We’d like your views on the proposed changes for the section of Princes Street to help shape the final design. We are also keen to hear what else people would like to see along Princes Street, including the challenges they face, how they use the space, and what changes would work best for everyone.
In 2022, Suffolk County Council (SCC) secured funding from Active Travel England to look at how active travel could be encouraged in Woodbridge by improving the local infrastructure. Then, in 2023, SCC secured a further £5m to deliver some of these improvements. The proposals are designed not only to enable and encourage safe and easy walking, wheeling and cycling trips, but also to make public spaces in Woodbridge even nicer places to spend time.

The County Council has received a request to consider measures on Radcliffe Drive to remove through traffic and to create a safer and more pleasant environment for active travel use. This request had been made by the County Councillor for the area, Nadia Cenci on behalf of residents following some local engagement activities.
The County Council is proposing a modal filter between no 90 and no 91 as a suitable location as it connects to other walking routes, can provide a safe crossing point and will minimise the displacement of traffic.
Local residents have been sent a letter asking for their feedback on the modal filter. The filter will go in as a trial in the first instance.
This residential letter has been sent to residents of:
Following the consultation, 57% of respondents are in favour of the trial modal filter. Work is now taking place to finalise the details for the trial. Councillor Nadia Cenci will be delivering a leaflet to residents in the above streets to update them on the scheme.
