Dear Friend or Fellow Campaigner, All you free this Friday morning? On Friday, the Environment, Development and Transport Committee of Norfolk County Council will decide on the Traffic Order to open Harding's Way South to motor traffic, including HGVs. The Conservatives have 9 out of 13 votes on the Committee and it will be a ...
Two years ago, Norfolk County Council consulted on its Cycling and Walking Action Plan.
