This has confirmed that

  • IBC/SCC currently have no plan to reduce air pollution.

  • IBC raise £3m a year from car parking fees.

  • The air pollution reduction from the new IBC electric fleet is so negligible they don’t bother measuring it.

  • The CEO of IBC is not leading, and coordinating action to reduce air pollution as is required by government guidance and, again, confirms that IBC have no plans to address the main source of air pollution.

  • IBC has granted itself outline planning permission for a £7m car park without having done any business planning or taking into consideration whether it may become a stranded asset, and doesn’t respond to public questions or allow public scrutiny. IBC only produce a business case when about to place a contract but are unable to provide any example business cases.

Two new requests were sent on 1st February to better understand Suffolk County Council’s interventions to reduce air pollutions
