Love Binsted 🍃💚🍃

Our friends at @TransportActio2 are in the High Court next Weds, 9 April, challenging the government's national roads policy. It was this policy which saw the huge impacts of the Lower Thames Crossing brushed aside. So this challenge could not be more important! Please support

@AllotmentHelen You're definitely not wasting your time, I love watching your progress +it is definitely inspirational

@BinstedLove That’s very kind of you to say. Sometimes I wonder whether I’m wasting my time posting. I just hope to inspire others to make art and craft for the sheer joy of doing it and creating something.

Happy potter face! I’ve just brought these bowls in from the kiln . They are bowls about our life for using in our life. I’m on a potters high. All those failures are starting to pay off because I’ve learnt so much from them. #learning #pottery #slipware #craft

TCAG is devastated the Lower Thames Crossing was approved today. LTC will increase traffic, pollution, carbon and noise. It won't increase economic growth, causing 8yrs of disruption and gridlock on local roads - for 5yrs relief at Dartford. Still unfunded transportactionnetwork.org.uk/approving-mega…

@StopWensumLink @NorfolkCC Really good news, well done 👏

BREAKING Stop Wensum Link Campaign Welcomes Withdrawal of Planning Application for Norwich Western Link The Stop Wensum Link campaign group has today welcomed the news that @NorfolkCC has withdrawn its planning application for the controversial Norwich Western Link project. The group sees this decision as a significant development and an opportunity to put an end to a proposal that has faced widespread opposition from environmental groups, local communities, and independent experts. David Pett, a spokesperson for the Stop Wensum Link campaign, expressed relief at the council’s announcement and hope that this marks the beginning of a more sustainable approach to tackling traffic issues in the region. He commented: “We are delighted that Norfolk County Council has withdrawn its planning application for the Norwich Western Link. This project posed serious risks to our precious environment, including the destruction of ancient woodlands, harm to protected habitats, and an increased carbon footprint. This decision is a victory for everyone who values our natural heritage and believes in a greener, more sustainable future for Norfolk. We now urge the council to abandon this damaging project altogether and focus on alternative, innovative solutions to address local transport needs without sacrificing the environment.” The Stop Wensum Link campaign group has consistently opposed the project, citing severe environmental concerns, the escalating climate crisis, and the lack of evidence to show the road would deliver long-term benefits to local communities. Instead, the group has called for investment in greener and more effective options, including enhanced public transport, cycling infrastructure, and measures to reduce traffic congestion at its source. Today’s announcement follows years of persistent campaigning by local residents and environmental organisations alike, highlighting the significant challenges the project faced in gaining approval from statutory bodies. Natural England’s continued concerns about environmental impacts further underscore the unsuitability of the proposed route. The campaign group urges Norfolk County Council to shift its priorities toward solutions that align with the urgent need to protect biodiversity and tackle climate change. The group remains committed to working with communities and stakeholders to promote a vision of transport infrastructure that balances convenience with sustainability. David Pett concluded, “The council has the chance to chart a new course—to lead the way with innovative, forward-thinking transport solutions that both serve the people of Norfolk and protect the environment for future generations. We hope today’s decision signals the end of this unwanted project and the beginning of a better conversation about how we can move forward together.” The Stop Wensum Link campaign will continue to monitor developments closely and press for sustainable approaches to solving Norfolk’s transport challenges. @labourlewis @SteveMorphew

@gracie88888 @Englishomestead Two new varieties for me; Indigo Rose + Shimmer would grow both again

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary I made this account to raise awareness of the fight to save my village, Binsted, from being destroyed Happily our village is safe, but the fight continues to help other communities, not to mention our planet #NoNewRoads

With our roads - including motorways - in such bad condition, it makes no sense to build more! Use our template letter to write to Louise Haigh and urge her to scrap the roads programme left by the previous government. actionnetwork.org/letters/help-g…

We have filed a formal complaint to the Office for Rail and Road (ORR) about National Highways’ inappropriate attempts to influence the decision making process for the £9bn Lower Thames Crossing. transportactionnetwork.org.uk/complaint-file…
