If you or someone you know wants to respond to the Norwich Western Link consultation, don't spare the horses. You have just over a week to have your say before the consultation closes at midnight on Tuesday, 3 July.

Over the last seven weeks, more than 1,200 people have shared their thoughts and experiences with us and 1,100 people have come to see us at the 10 consultation events so far. The most recent of these last week were at Costessey on Monday and at the Norwich Research Park on Wednesday, both interesting and very worthwhile days - thank you to everyone who took the time to come and see us.

Our final consultation event will take place tomorrow from 10.30am - 8pm at Hellesdon Parish Office on Wood View Road. We've really appreciated the conversations we've had with so many of you at the events so far and we'd like to go out on a high note, so if you're in the area, please come and see us, ask any questions you have and respond to the consultation in person if you like.

Following some feedback about the Norwich Western Link webpages, we've uploaded a map showing the study area - you can find this here . The rectangle on the map shows the area we're focusing on with this project but we're very aware that transport issues don't have neat boundaries and any options that we come up with to tackle problems in this area are likely to affect other parts of Norfolk too. So we really do want anyone and everyone to respond to the consultation, the more the merrier.

On that note, please do spread the word about the consultation if you haven't done so already - there really is no substitute for word of mouth when it comes to making people aware of something they may have a vested interest in.

Hope you're enjoying the lovely British summer (for once, no sarcasm intended!) and, if you can tear yourself away from your barbecue/bat and ball/deckchair, it would be lovely to see you tomorrow in Hellesdon.
