Suffolk County Council proposes to make the above order under Sections 1(1) and (2), 2(1) to (3), 4(2) and Part IV of Schedule 9 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended, which would substitute revision 1 of Map Tile GM121 in place of revision 0 of the same Map Tile, into the above-named 2019 Order. The effect of this would be to remove the existing Taxi Rank restrictions:

‘Taxi Rank Any Day Midnight - 4am’ on:

The west side of Princes Street (B1075), Ipswich, from a starting at a point 46 metres south of its junction with West End Road and Commercial Road for a distance of 30 metres in a westerly direction.

Exemptions to the waiting restrictions allow a vehicle to wait for so long as is necessary to board or alight or to load and unload for building, industrial or demolition works; for emergency services; for the maintenance of the road or its services; and for fulfilling statutory duties. There are the usual exemptions for blue badge-holders.

Copies of the draft Order, map showing the roads affected and the council’s reasons for the proposals, may be seen with advance notice at the address below, 9am - 5pm Monday - Friday; also at Ipswich County Library, Northgate Street, Ipswich IP1 3DE, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 9am to 6pm; Tuesday and Friday 9am - 7pm; Saturday 8.30am - 5pm; and Sunday 10am - 4pm; excluding Bank Holidays and Public Holidays.
