Drivers in Ipswich should prepare for temporary road closures and a car park closure on Sunday 10 November due to Remembrance Sunday events.
Why it matters: The closures will affect traffic flow in the town centre during the morning and early afternoon, impacting residents and visitors attending or travelling near the commemoration events.
Details of closures:
Portman Road Car Park B will be closed all day on 10 November.
Rolling road closures will be in effect from 10:00-10:45 and again from 12:30-13:15.
Affected roads include parts of Elm Street, Museum Street, Westgate Street, Cornhill, Tavern Street, Northgate Street, Upper Brook Street, Crown Street, and Soane Street.
No road closures are planned for Armistice Day events on Monday 11 November.
What's happening: The closures are to accommodate the annual Remembrance Sunday parade and service, organised by the Royal British Legion and Ipswich Borough Council.
The parade starts at approximately 10:15 from Elm Street, proceeding through the town centre.
A service will be held at the Cenotaph in Christchurch Park, beginning at 10:50.
For parking, use alternative car parks A, C, and D on Portman Road instead of the closed Car Park B.
The bottom line: The closures enable the community to safely come together and pay respects to those who have served and been affected by conflict.
