Some points to help:
Destruction of Biodiversity: The implementation of this road would inflict irreversible harm upon these
precious ecosystems, threatening old woodlands with veteran trees and a rare chalk stream.
Increased Carbon Emissions: The construction of the road would exacerbate CO2 emissions significantly, both during the building phase and due to induced traffic. Such actions directly contradict our collective commitments to curbing carbon
emissions and striving for 'net-zero' status by 2050. The expansion of road infrastructure blatantly contradicts climate emergency declarations and the ongoing global efforts to decarbonize.
Mitigation Failures: History has shown that past mitigation efforts for similar projects, such as the Broadland Northway (formerly known as
the Northern Distributor Road), have fallen short in safeguarding local wildlife effectively. Given this track record, we question the efficacy of proposed mitigation measures for the Wensum Link road. How can we trust that this time will be any different?
Cost/Value for money
Spending this money on a three-mile environmentally damaging road with minimal, if any, economic advantages is unjustifiable. These public funds could be utilised more effectively elsewhere. Alternatives to a road have not been properly investigated, despite local people asking for non road solutions in initial consultations.
