The link road is absolutely essential especially now Broadland Council have approved the plans for 1500 homes in Taverham by Marriotts way. I imagine there will be a huge destruction of wildlife habitat and pollution the building works will create. So where are the people objecting to this?

You can’t have it both ways if you want housing you need a suitable highway infrastructure, the link will provide this taking the level of existing and new traffic away from the areas currently overwhelmed. Or you can oppose it and sit in endless traffic as the additional 3000 cars which will come with the housing estate use the existing, unsuitable routes through Ringland / Costessey / low road / Drayton / Lenwade etc. It is just awful seeing how congested with traffic these little villages are. I think the objectors should look at the broader picture then maybe hang their heads in shame.
