Better Ipswich Transport

Everyone who drives in Ipswich or uses the buses in the town knows that much could be done to make travelling easier, more comfortable and less prone to congestion. The council bid for money from the Department of Transport to integrate the traffic lights around the town, provide real-time information for bus users and rebuild bus stations in the town centre. The scheme was put in doubt as a result of the deficit reduction programme but Ben’s intervention helped secure the £25m the council required.
