News on NWL Initial Views

As today is the last working day before Christmas for some people, I wanted to give you a quick update on the consultation before the festivities get underway in earnest.

So far, more than 500 people have told us what they think of our four route options for a Norwich Western Link between the A47 and the western end of Broadland Northway (aka the NDR). We're hoping that number will continue to climb after Christmas, when people might have a little more time, and with the added spur of the deadline for responses looming.

As a reminder, the consultation is open till midnight on Friday 18 January and you can respond at any point between now and then by filling in our online survey via www.norfolk.gov.uk/nwl.

We've seen around 800 of you at our consultation events to date, and we've got more events coming up in the new year, starting with Aylsham Town Hall on Tuesday 8 January, so there will still be opportunities to come and see us and ask any questions you have before the consultation closes. Here's the full list of consultation events still to come, all of them will run from 2 to 8pm:

It just remains for me, on behalf of all of us in the team, to thank you for your interest in the Norwich Western Link and wish you a very merry Christmas, a happy New Year and hope 2019 gets off to a great start for you.
