FOOTBALL car parking getting a boost in Ipswich – with special disabled bays now available.
The New Portman Road car park, open to the general public on Saturdays and football match days, now has 50 spaces reserved for disabled badge holders.
This is to cater for the fact that there are now allocated seats for people with disabilities in the north stand.
Richard Walker, car parks manager for Ipswich Borough Council, said: "We have been in dialogue with Ipswich football club to talk about parking. We are trying to make things easier for all fans, especially for people with disabilities. I am just delighted that we have been able to help."
