Does Ipswich need a Northern by-pass ? on 13:45 - May 21 by longtimefan
Where's the "Yes - as long as NIMBY" option
Didn’t want to get into that debate!!!
Just saw that one MP said the majority of his constituents said they were against it. I asssume they were all in areas that may be affected by one of the routes. Ipswich desperately needs a by-pass and I’m amazed that those in charge can keep ignoring that fact!!

Central Suffolk and North Ipswich which includes where all the no lobby are based
I note having driven through this area recently that they are also against Westerfield Quarry, whatever that is
When one of them waded in on an Ipswich Star post, I remarked that perhaps a Northern Bypass would ease all the HGV traffic for that Quarry, they didn't respond bless them
Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

I did a lot of driving in Central Suffolk last year but am based in Cambridgeshire. Every time I drove around I wondered how B roads in Cambs were main A roads in Suffolk. It really feels like 1958 in places.
The alternative would be a really good tram system, but that's less likely than us winning the Premier League this year....

There's a core of people that will just oppose any infrastructure or progress of any kind just because they want everyone to live in a dark age hell, so long as that person is still unaffected.
No to Sizewell No to Pylons No to the quarry No to the bypass No to BT expansion No to a new big Tesco
Sure a few are probably just worried about their view or house price which is understandable, but shouldn't be enough to prevent vital infrastructure. But the ideological eco-warrior objectors that move around from project to project demanding an end to any human progress should be dropped into a meat grinder.
The problem with Ipswich is Felixstowe. If that damn port didn't exist Ipswich would be a tranquil backwater. If you don't know where Whitehaven, Barnstaple and Pwlheli are then I don't blame you. There's nothing to see there. So yes, Ipswich needs a northern by-pass because Felixstowe is the 'Gateway to the World' for Containers.
Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?
