Ipswich, Lowestoft & Waveney, and Suffolk Chambers have all been asked to consult and draw together information from businesses with regards to proposals for new crossings over Ipswich Wet Dock and the lack of a crossing at Lake Lothing.
Ipswich Wet Dock Business Survey
Ipswich and Suffolk Chambers are working together to gather information for crossing over Ipswich Wet Dock. An important part of this process is to gather information from businesses concerning:
- The impact the lack of crossings has on your business
- The difference new crossings might make to your business
- Information which can help to shape an economic case for the crossing including: quantifying congestion costs; evaluating levels of investment likely to result from improved access; and estimating future employment growth
- Views on whether businesses have a preferred location for the crossing
The responses to this consultation will be drawn together by a team at the Suffolk Business School at University Campus Suffolk and will be fed into a report commissioned by New Anglia LEP and Suffolk County Council and being written by WSP / Parsons Brinckerhoff. The WSP / Parsons Brinckerhoff report will provide a business case in the form that Government requires regarding the proposed new crossings.
The survey will be open until 30 September 2015. If you are a business that regularly operates in this area, then your views are extremely important and we are therefore grateful for your time spent completing the business survey.
