At Rose Carr, Ringland Hills, yesterday. These guys poking up, like they do every year, to the news that they might just NOT get bulldozed by Norfolk County Council, and their Carr (relict bend of the River Wensum) might just NOT get filled with sump oil, tyre particulates, plastic bottles, take-out wrappers & bin liners full of dead kittens.
But the Prime Minister & Chancellor are on the warpath against conservation..so all is still in the balance.

What we did not know, before this Freedom of Information response, is Central Government has stumped up £33m. Set that off against the £40m Norfolk County Council is known to have spaffed (on "council staff, consultants, contractors, surveyors & to purchase land"), and Norfolk would be able (just) to reverse out of this environmentally ruinous roadie-hobbyhorse cash sinkhole WITHOUT going bankrupt. But they continue spaffing, hoping to force the hand of Transport Sec Haigh.

From good authority: if #Norfolk County Council concede defeat over the Norwich Western Link Road they would have to acknowledge functional bankruptcy.

What they have done is "bank" ex transport secretary Harper's "pledge" to pay for the £274m project given during the final months of the Tory government when pledges were given like confetti.

Tories got to #Tory, but this is like heading to Las Vegas on the promise of an elderly aunt's "i'll leave everything to you".

The fundamental dishonesty of Norfolk County Council Roadies, in attempting to encircle Norwich with a third ring road by building in sections and giving them misleading descriptions as with "Northern Distributor" , is reason enough to thwart them. The Electorate is done with Governance by lies.

#StopWesternLinkRoad

There are no "rogue algorithms on bat populations" in play.

I thought the British Electorate had enough of people who tell lies being inserted into our Legislature?

"Lord" Twerp of Gorleston, former South Norfolk Council Leader (Truss country, and just as daft) gobs off at Natural England and everyone else fighting to preserve Norfolk from the march of the despoilers, ecological vandals, corporate housebuilders & climate-change deniers.

I guess #Labour will be spending the coming week examining the books.

When it is confirmed that we are, as a nation, functionally bankrupt, i hope they will ditch Johnson's expansive legacy of profligate infrastructure spending schemes notably destructive dual carriageway bypass sections (for which read, rip open new greenfield for the corporate housebuilder fatcats to chuck up more pre-blighted under-insulated legoland car-dependent slum-villages). Prime example 👇 £1/4bn #StopWesternLinkRoad

For logging objection to Western Link Road just search Western Link Road planning. My own objection, as lodged, attached.

Norfolk Tory MPs presently doing their nut about their precious sodding county-busting motorway to Brexit Barclay will be in the political dustbin within 6 months (those who haven't already jumped by declaring they "won't be standing"). They were on the wrong side of history, and will very shortly become history - a mere footnote of folly, wastefulness, denial and atrocious leadership.
Ignore them.

Welcome to The Woodland Trust's "Plant more trees" advertising campaign.

Us mature trees at Ringland Woods would like to add "Don't fell mature trees".

Just makes sense innit.

As Bernard Matthews decamps from Norfolk HQ at Great Witchingham, how long before the turkey farm at the former RAF Attlebridge also gets sold off to corporate housebuilders for "redevelopment", Coltishall-style, and a whole new town of sub-standard crowded infrastructure-free legoland pop-ups appears alongside Weston Longville. All because locals their were coached to "be concerned about" "rat-running". Matthewstown coming to a motorway ring-road near you, within a decade.
