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. A public consultation on the four shortlisted routes for a Norwich Western Link is now open and will run until midnight on Friday 18th January 2019. The consultation responses will be used to help Norfolk County Council identify a preferred route for the Norwich Western Link in spring 2019. To find out more about the different options, or to have your say in the consultation, visit www.norfolk.gov.uk/nwl.
