Infinity Logistics backs calls for Ipswich Northern Bypass to ease traffic and boost the local economy by avoiding A14 A12 traffic.
The A14 and A12 have traffic issues. People want a Northern Bypass for Ipswich, and Jack Abbott, an MP, spoke to Kier Starmer about it.
Pilcher said Ipswich residents dread Orwell Bridge closures. Repairs and high winds can shut it down, and traffic detours then cause big delays.
Infinity Logistics operates from Felixstowe’s port and sees how closures hurt businesses. Commuters also face major problems.
Pilcher is happy Abbott wants a bypass discussed and mentioned raising the issue in Parliament.
Infinity Logistics offers transport services across the UK since 2017. They are based near Felixstowe.
Pilcher understands some Ipswich residents’ worries, but he believes economic growth could help the region. A bypass could boost the town and surrounding areas.
It may also generate new jobs and opportunities. Another route would help during bridge closures, offering an alternative to Ipswich traffic jams.
Pilcher acknowledged a bypass would be divisive, but it needs consideration for the town’s future.
