NEWS
We
have commented on plans by Norfolk County Council to update its Norwich
Area Transportation Strategy in the light of planned population growth.
We have welcomed proposals for:
- more pedestrianisation and safer road crossings
- more cycle routes and parking
- a network of bus rapid transit corridors.
We
have made suggestions for developing these ideas, reminded officers of
access issues at Wymondham station and emphasised the importance to
Norwich of its Liverpool trains. Subject to value, we have supported
the idea of more trains between Norwich, Wymondham and Cambridge.
