• Nacton Road. We want to improve this route for people travelling between the town centre and the eastern suburbs and Ransomes industrial estate. The proposals include wider pavement to allow for walking and cycling, new crossings and a potential redesign of the junction at Rands Way
  • Woodbridge Road. We propose to improve this link between Ipswich and Kesgrave, making it easier for all road users to get along. The proposals include wider pavements to allow for walking and cycling, segregated cycle paths and improved crossings.
  • Ipswich Hospital to Waterfront. We want to create a safe and easy to use route for walking and cycling that connects the waterfront and the hospital by making some improvements along the existing route. The proposals include improvements to some of the busier and harder to navigate junctions along the route to make these safer for walking and cycling.

We are keen to hear what people would like to see on the routes identified below. Knowing about the challenges you face, what you would change and how you use the space will help us design places that work for everyone.

Please note you only need to book a place if you want to attend a walkthrough. You do not need to book to attend a community event.

We are looking at how we can make improvements to Nacton Road in Ipswich, between Maryon Road and Felixstowe Road.

The vision for Woodbridge Road is to create a safe and efficient route for all road users, that also links up to other routes for walking and cycling. We want to make it convenient for people to walk, wheel and cycle in the area as well as make bus journeys more efficient. Providing safe and convenient alternatives to driving a car will increase the range of transport options for those that do not always want to drive or are unable to.

Ipswich Hospital to Ipswich Waterfront

These proposals will also improve conditions for walking and cycling on sections of Foxhall Road and Freehold road.

The proposed route would help to connect communities to the east of the town  with the university, railway station and town centre as well as the hospital. It is predominantly on quieter, residential roads and crosses the railway line using an existing walking and cycling route. Whilst quieter, there are still some busier junctions to cross, which means it does not always feel safe along its whole length. . The area between Ipswich Hospital and Ipswich Waterfront is a dynamic part of the town, with a mix of residential, commercial, and educational facilities.

These schemes form part of a network of routes across the County for walking, wheeling and cycling, which are set out in our Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP).
