I believe that everyone should have access to our areas of natural beauty.

By green lighting the Norwich Western Link, Tory- run Norfolk County Council has chosen to provide a death sentence to local wildlife.

The river Wensum and the rich ecology in the Wensum Valley are part of our shared environment, a natural corridor for wildlife, and a beautiful area in its own right that should be preserved so we can all continue to access and enjoy it.

I attended a protest held by Stop the Wensum Link, where I spoke about the importance of stopping this destructive road.
