Norfolk County Council wants to build a 3.9 mile "Norwich Western Link" across the ecologically rich Wensum Valley at a cost of at least £274m.

We are ecologists, businesses, doctors, scientists, wildlife-lovers, parents and artists who want to save the Wensum Valley.

The statutory consultation period has ended, but you can still comment

Remember to include the planning application reference number FUL/2024/0022

Cost
£70m a mile and rising.
Traffic
Norfolk County Council predict that traffic would still increase in some areas near the proposed Western Link.
No affect on ambulance response times - hospital handover waits are the problem.
Carbon Emissions
Building new roads increases CO2 emissions during construction and by creating more car dependency
Ecology
The Wensum Valley is home to more than 60 protected species in ancient woodland and a rare chalk stream. A new road here will destroy it's unique ecology.
