Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 13:33 · Archive
Police reported 13 drivers for traffic offences on Dogs Head Street in Ipswich town centre on November 1.
Ipswich Police's Town Centre Team carried out enforcement on Dogs Head Street on Sunday, November 1, following requests from residents for increased police activity in the area. Between 9.30am and 12.45pm, 11 Traffic Offence Reports were issued to motorists for contravening a local traffic order. Another two drivers were reported for driving without valid insurance, and one uninsured vehicle was seized.
The traffic restriction on Dogs Head Street prevents motor vehicles, including cars and motorcycles, from using the route, except for buses, taxis, vehicles loading, and those with authorised access. The restriction was introduced as part of Suffolk County Council's changes to Ipswich town centre in November 2023, with new signs installed to limit through traffic.
Police said officers would continue enforcing the restriction alongside regular foot patrols across the town centre, and residents were encouraged to continue reporting problems they would like officers to focus on.
