New digital parking signs have been installed on some of the key routes into Ipswich.

The displays show the number of spaces available at some of the largest car parks in town, in an attempt to make it easier to park up.

Ipswich Borough Council also claim the signs will benefit the environment by removing the need for drivers to try multiple car parks.

Councillor Sophie Connelly, from Ipswich Borough Council, said:

“These signs will help people see where car-parking is available when they are on their way into town."

"They are there to help people get quickly to where they want to go and this is part of the work the Council are doing to make the town centre even more attractive and to assist the increasing number of those travelling to the centre of Ipswich.

"These signs have also been installed for their environmental benefits of reducing journeys and making air quality better."

The signs are placed on Norwich Road, Fore Hamlet, Handford Road, Princes Street and Argyle Street.
