Hi
Firstly thanks if you took part in the pre-planning consultation last month. We have no news yet of the results, but we will be pushing to have the results made public. We will share this with you when we find out.
If
you have just found us then please do get on board to help us with the campaign. We have found there are still people out there in Norfolk who don't know about the NWL, or if they do, they don't realise its destructiveness and cost.
Ways to get involved :
Join our actions group (next meeting date below) - fundraising events planned for the New Year which we need help with, and we are always in need of
help for our outreach work.
Do you have a comment you would like to make about the road? - we are looking for commenters (anonymous/quoted or videos) to give their perspective. We are especially looking for young people who don't drive,
disabled people who need decent public transport, older people who aren't sure what they will do when they have to give up driving, people who rely on council funded services that are being cut. But all different perspectives welcomed. Email
stopthewensumlink@protonmail.com if you want to take part.
What's the Alternative?
A recent
webinar on
Reducing Car Dependency Outside Cities showed there was lots of potential to reduce traffic volume even in rural and suburban areas. Other countries do this stuff well routinely. It's not our job to create a complete alternative plan for transport for the region, but we can point out that
road building is a failure of imagination! Would you like to work with the alternatives team to work on an inspiring vision for transport around Norwich? Email
stopthewensumlink@protonmail.com to take part.
Got an Artistic eye?
We love to share photos and artwork of the Wensum area to show everyone how special it is, and what would be
lost if we don't fight hard to protect it. If you have any images you would like to share with us to put on social media and our website we would really appreciate it. Full credit will be given. Email as above.
