Proceeding any further with the Norwich Western Link road could bankrupt Norfolk County Council - not to mention the incalculable destruction of wildlife. It's not a risk that is anywhere near worth taking. Stop the Wensum Link πŸƒπŸ’šπŸƒ

OneNorwich Practices' collapse has led to staff not knowing whether they'd get paid at Christmas, and has left asylum seekers and vulnerable adults in an unacceptable position.

Thank you Anna Colivicchi for covering my call for an investigation.

The loss of Β£2.8m is already being felt by local people. I spent this morning talking to residents near Anglia Square about traffic problems that are blighting their lives. Those problems could be solved 80 times over with Β£2.8m. Not to mention restoring Angel Road school etc...

Only just seen excellent piece by Jamie Osborn 🌱 in yesterday’s Eastern Daily Press about travesty of Weston Homes being let off CIL when developing Anglia Square. Norwich Labour Party has serious questions to answer.

Handing a multi-million Β£ tax break to one of the wealthiest developers in the country, during a cost of living crisis, is hardly a good look. But that is what Norwich's Labour administration have just done.

My piece on the questions that need answers:

If the Norwich Western Link falls apart - eg if it fails in planning or due to legal challenges - Norfolk County Council will *completely wipe out* its reserves to cover the costs. And then they will also have to repay at least Β£25m to DfT. This is serious. It could bankrupt the council.

For years, Norfolk's Tories claimed the Norwich Western Link will cut carbon emissions, ignoring scrutiny from experts.

Now they have been forced to admit that it will add thousands of tonnes of CO2 into the environment each year. And at a cost of Β£70m per mile! Stop the Wensum Link πŸƒπŸ’šπŸƒ

New Tory Norwich North candidate denies human-caused climate change. This in a week when floods caused devastation around the country. Where do they find them?!

Conservatives need to reselect and find a candidate who understands what climate change is.

If Norfolk County Council goes ahead with the Norwich Western Link, we can expect the same disaster again.

There's no way that ancient and veteran trees cut down for the road can be replaced, no matter how many saplings are planted (and die). Stop the Wensum Link πŸƒπŸ’šπŸƒ

In the face of staggering environmental and financial costs, we question Norfolk County Council decision to pursue the project.

The quoted figures seem outdated, with current estimates showing an exorbitant construction cost of Β£400m, a far cry…

The Tories are scrambling to find something to show for their record in government and are desperatelyΒ making uncosted and undeliverable promises.

If it goes ahead, the Western Link would be terrible for taxpayers and the environment. Stop the Wensum Link πŸƒπŸ’šπŸƒ eveningnews24.co.uk/news/23853027.…

Such an amazing show of support for the Save Wensum Lodge campaign this morning Norfolk County Council. The Tories seem to have been disingenuous in their approach to selling Wensum Lodge and we need scrutiny.

Next public meeting 7pm at the Kings Centre on King Street.

πŸ“ˆSpiralling costs (probably Β£250m more than initial plans)
πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈNo sign of Government funding
🌳No way it wouldn't trash the environment

Yet Norfolk Conservatives insist they 'remain confident' about the Western Link. Seems like magical thinking!

Keir Starmer: β€œWe can’t end child poverty unless we have more money to do it – and that’s not going to happen, frankly, in the first term of a Labour government.'

Child poverty shouldn't be negotiable. Me in Eastern Daily Press for Norwich Green Party πŸ‘‡
