A battle is developing between town centre businesses and bus companies over the future of Ipswich s Upper Brook Street - and whether its closure to traffic should be made permanent.
The street was closed to traffic at the start of the first lockdown in March last year and although it is now open again at off-peak times, vehicles remain banned during peak hours.
Most businesses along the street welcome this because Upper Brook Street has comparatively narrow pavements and the closure gives shoppers more space and gives them confidence to observe social distancing.
