📣🚫💔 Natural England's stand for Norfolk's wildlife has ruffled feathers! Norfolk County Council's leader seems to have lost touch with reality, expressing extreme political sentiments. The focus seems more on power than the will of the people. #ConservationMatters

Ancient Woodland in the Wensum Valley would be massively degraded through proximity to the Norwich Western Link. Under a new directive such deterioration must be reported to the Secretary of State. We will be watching to ensure this happens!

edp24.co.uk/news/24203906.… Fundamentally, the crux of the matter does not revolve around squandering the hard-earned money of taxpayers. Instead, the focus should be on guaranteeing that the utilisation of public funds is carried out judiciously.

She has no interest in Norfolk. She has made this very clear.

This is the essence of their role, a vital function that is integral to the health and prosperity of our society.

Therefore, the mission of the activist is not just to oversee, but to actively engage in the process, advocating for the judicious use of resources and promoting decisions that prioritiee long-term sustainability over short-term gains.

See this! Even the pro-road lobby now recognises that there is huge popular opinion against the Norwich Western Link. It’s time for @NorfolkTories to drop this vote loser.

@EDP24 So much misunderstanding here. The alleged cost of the delay should be challenged. None of the figures quoted are substantiated. Moreover, is it not right that if as is alleged the government agency has not complied with the law, it should not be held accountable?

Climate activist Dr Andrew Boswell has launched a new legal challenge over three major A47 schemes - a move slammed by Norfolk County Council's leader. edp24.co.uk/news/24202071.… 👇 Full story

Excellent thread about George Freeman MP and his shameful treatment of local roads protestor @Andrew9Boswell @stephenfry @PeterStefanovi2 @seaninsound @LizWebsterSBF

The words used by Mr Freeman appear to us to be defamatory - clearly they will have an adverse impact on this expert's reputation and living. We suggest Mr Boswell seeks legal advice and Mr Freeman immediately removes his defamatory words.

There is grave concern here in Norfolk about @NorfolkCC decision to build a bridge over the River Wensum SAC. The river accommodates a rare chalk stream and is at risk of further deterioration due to construction and operation of the proposed road. A legal action beckons!

🌍💡 Everyone is entitled to their opinion. As campaigners urging @NorfolkCC to rethink this road project, we respect those who argue for its construction, even though we may not agree with their arguments 🚧👷‍♀️ Our role is to scrutinise decisions, highlight potential environmental and health impacts 🌳🏥 Accountability and transparency in local authorities and government are vital, and they should be open to challenges, whether through direct engagement or legal means, and without fear of recrimination ⚖️📃 We're committed to ensuring our rhetoric is fair, accurate, and respectful. Respect is key 🤝 It promotes understanding, facilitates communication, encourages cooperation, prevents conflict, and nurtures a healthy society 🌐🕊️ @GeorgeFreemanMP we understand your frustration and acknowledge your efforts promoting the A47 improvements project 👏 However, we urge greater care when expressing views. Empathy and respect are crucial when responding to differing opinions 🔄 A personal attack on someone passionate about environmental protection doesn't help your cause 🌱💚 We hope you consider making a public apology, and taking time to explore both sides of the congestion, safety, and rat-running debates 🚦🚗 Public discussions on these issues require a balanced approach 🗣️🎙️ Its important that the public are presented with all of the facts and not just those which support a particular view. Building more roads isn't the solution to our transport issues, and we believe you recognise this 🛣️➡️🚫 We're eager to collaborate with you to explore less destructive, cheaper alternatives to the Norwich Western Link Road 🌉🔍 Let's work towards a sustainable future! 🌿🌈🤲 #Respect #SustainableTransport #EnvironmentalProtection

It is not simply the dual carriageway - the associated infrastructure - the run-off pond, the service roads- the entire enterprise smashes up the Ringland Hills & Wensum Valley- woods, fields, watermeadow - everything; rendered unrecognisable to those that love them, forever.

Norfolk prepare yourself!
