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.
NWL ON PAUSE - ONE (HOPEFULLY) LAST ACTION
Norfolk County Council has paused work on the scheme - seemingly finally realising there's no chance of it passing environmental law.
The PM says a decision will be made next year.
Can you help us get this expensive, ecocidal road stopped for good?

Why the Norwich Western Link is the wrong solution
-
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.
