Previously unregulated parking bays in Ipswich are set to become pay-and-display.

The council, acting on behalf of Suffolk County Council, has confirmed that seven parking bays on Key Street, next to the side of 1A Wherry Quay, will be subject to new charges.

These will be enforced daily from 8am to 10pm.

The decision was reached after securing the county council's consent and consulting with the portfolio holder for culture and customers.

The introduction of charges aims to curb traffic congestion and ensure public access to a restricted number of spaces.

A statutory public consultation on the proposals took place, with no objections or other representations received.

Consequently, the necessary Traffic Regulation Order and Designation Order are now being made in accordance with the provisions of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and associated legislation.

The changes came into effect on Monday, August 24, 2026.

An Ipswich Borough Council spokesperson said: "The decision has been made for the prevention and relief of the congestion of traffic and to help ensure that a limited number of spaces for the public are available in this location."
