This is why Norfolk people should fight on behalf of the Wensum. If no other reason applied, the fact that our river supplies the drinking water for the City of Norwich is compelling. All these developers and financiers and estate agents and ReformUK and Tory councillors poo-poohing sustainable drainage investment are pushing vested interests and talking (?) out of their ar*es.

The Wensum: England’s dying and forgotten chalk river — Freshwater Biological Association

After many years away, Simon Johnson, FBA Executive Director, recently re-connected with the River Wensum in Norfolk. Once bursting with nature and one of England’s most famous fisheries, he found this beautiful and historic river to be in a sorry state of unnecessary ruin. Compelled to speak up for

Put another way; don't cut us down.

Just...don't.

Fellow Norfolk citizens; let us NOT build a four lane dual carriageway on a half-mile long viaduct across the floodplain of our drinking water supply, five miles upstream of the Norwich City waterworks intake from the #Wensum (Waterworks Road).

Why should we NOT do this thing? 👇

It seems the #EnglishNationalists legacy to #Norfolk may be the eternal blighting of #Wensum Valley by excavation, noise, pollution, lights & eyesore. For what? If you desire to 'progress' by car from the A47, to Attlebridge & cross the river to the NDR, or vice versa, you may already do so. There need be no traversing of villages. The 'rat-running' claim is a lie. Simply do it at a not-unreasonable 30mph. Open the window & take in some tranquility & beauty as you go. We are all blessed by it.

Seems the key decision on Norfolk #Tories fetish project for ripping ♥️ out of #Wensum valley upriver from Norwich may fall to Michael 'Flakey' Gove, Minister for 'levelling up'.
Were the Govian One no less distracted by matters of the flesh than his erstwhile VoteLeave bud Shagger #Johnson & ex-colleague Snogger #Hancock , it might occur to him that by the time the contractors have finished cratering the necessary cutting through the Ringland Hills, there will have been a major levelling down.

Norfolk Tories are flogging public assets like #Wensum Lodge adult education centre because they are functionally bankrupt, having fluffed £40m on 'western link' white elephant. Their obsession with petrol comes before all else.

Tory Norfolk County Council flogging public assets in time-honoured fashion, while they think they still can. Here, the adult education centre in Wensum Lodge Kings Street Norwich. We've already lost the Youth Centre. They've frittered £40m already on their pet scheme to rip open the next radius of the City for "development" (flogging to corporate housebuilders) with their "Western Link" road across the #Wensum valley at Ringland. Flogging one to part-subsidise the other.
