Norfolk County Council wants to create a Norwich Western Link to improve travel between the A47 and the western end of Broadland Northway (formerly the Northern Distributor Road) and to tackle transport problems in the area. They published four potential routes for a Norwich Western Link earlier this month and have now made further information about them available to coincide with the consultation opening. You can find out more about the options online via www.norfolk.gov.uk/nwl or by coming to one of their staffed events taking place in local communities throughout the consultation period. A full list of these events is below. Once you have looked through this information, there are a number of ways you can respond to the consultation. If you are responding on behalf of an organisation or in an official capacity, they would encourage you to respond in writing, as follows:
- by email to [email protected]
- by post to Norwich Western Link, Infrastructure Delivery Team, Norfolk County Council, County Hall, Floor 2, Martineau Lane, Norwich, NR1 2DH
You can also respond online by completing the consultation questionnaire or in person at one of our consultation events. A list of these events is below and all the events will run between 2pm and 8pm unless otherwise stated:
- Wednesday 28 November at Ringland Village Hall
- Monday 3 December at Drayton Village Hall
- Tuesday 4 December at The Forum, Norwich (12-5pm)
- Wednesday 5 December at Hockering Village Hall
- Monday 10 December at Easton Village Hall
- Tuesday 11 December at Taverham Village Hall (12-6pm)
- Wednesday 12 December at Hall for All, Weston Longville
- Friday 14 December at Salvation Army Church, Fakenham
- Tuesday 8 January at Aylsham Town Hall

- Friday 11 January at Great Witchingham Village Hall
- Monday 14 January at The Costessey Centre
- Tuesday 15 January at Dereham Memorial Hall
- Wednesday 16 January at Honingham Village Hall
It’s really important that they receive your views on the four options for a Norwich Western Link – all the consultation responses will be used to help them identify a preferred route for the Norwich Western Link in Spring 2019.
Your response to the consultation must be in before midnight on Friday 18 January 2019.
