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.
