Consultation into Norwich Western Link local roads coming to an end
Just under two weeks are left to have your say on proposals for local roads which cross the route of a planned dual carriageway.
The proposals include potential measures to support walking, cycling and public transport use in the area.
On 27th July, Norfolk County Council launched the eight-week Norwich Western Link Local Access Consultation which ends at midnight on 20th September.
It's part of the project to create a new 3.8 mile dual carriageway between the western end of of Broadland Northway and the A47.
According to the council, alongside the planned dualling of the A47 between North Tuddenham and Easton, it would mean traffic wouldn't need to enter Norwich.
The authority is also looking for views on a possible 'Western Arc' bus service which would connect residents in the western suburbs of the city to places including the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and UEA, without the need to change buses.
Councillor Martin Wilby, Cabinet Member for Highways and Infrastructure at Norfolk County Council, said: "The Norwich Western Link will improve journey times and reliability between the A47 and Broadland Northway to the west of the city but it will also give people more travel options by taking traffic off local roads and out of communities.
"We’re consulting on proposals that will build on these benefits to further improve the quality of life of local residents and help people to get about on foot, by bike or on the bus.
"It’s important that people give us their feedback on our proposals now so we can take this into account before making any decisions."
