Important message from @stopwensumlink.bsky.social Norfolk Tories are still putting out the myth that the NWL project will continue and they are in discussions with the DfT about it Basic fact: the project is dead Second basic fact: nobody is fooled by NCC @transportaction.bsky.social 👇👇

🦇We are deeply concerned by the government’s latest rhetoric, which wrongly blames bats for slowing house building and infrastructure projects. Better planning needs real solutions, not blame games. BCT's thoughts on this here: www.bats.org.uk/news/2025/03... #bats #planning

A worrying development. Nature bashing must stop! “Meanwhile, environmental guidance, including hundreds of pages on protection of bats, will be reviewed, while environmental permits for some low-risk and temporary projects will be removed” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“in terms of nature, they’re actively opposing the nature restoration agenda with this damaging suggestion that that economic success and nature are somehow at loggerheads.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Norfolk CC ignored warnings, wasted £56M of public funds, and failed to plan a viable Plan B for the Western Link. Blaming bats & Natural England is deflection. We demand accountability & resignations. Norfolk deserves better—enough is enough. www.edp24.co.uk/news/2497154...

Further reasons for RESIGNATIONS as Norfolk CC take a budget risk with over £30m when the odds are very much stacked against the Govt agreeing the NWL road @stopwensumlink.bsky.social @transportaction.bsky.social @jamierussell.bsky.social Hair already blazing on fire ... (read article👇)

I stand with John Allaway too - Billig should be barred from public office. Utterly unfit @norfolkcc.bsky.social

Great sense here www.facebook.com/reel/1150485... from @steffanaquarone.bsky.social We need very different leadership in Norfolk & Suffolk, or devolution will only keep those who made the mess in power 👇 @stopwensumlink.bsky.social @transportaction.bsky.social

We call for a Plan B to tackle congestion west of Norwich—one that prioritises economic sense & environmental care. Protecting the River Wensum SAC & species like barbastelle bats must be central. Let's rethink, reset, & find smarter, sustainable solutions. www.edp24.co.uk/news/2494871...

Traffic issues in Norfolk aren't just west of Norwich—they impact us all. We need a county-wide plan that improves all roads, boosts public transport, and aligns transport with planning. Let's prioritise fair, sustainable solutions for everyone. #NorfolkTransport #BetterPlanning

Norfolk deserves better. With NWL planning withdrawn & likely binned, it’s time to move past outdated, costly road schemes. David Pett says, “Transport East's road focus is naive & dated. Norfolk needs sustainable, integrated transport for real growth. #StopWensumLink www.edp24.co.uk/news/2496141...

youtu.be/JPKdo2wDQ9A?... The damage caused by this road construction is tragic, but it’s nothing compared to the destruction the Norwich Western Link would bring—devastating trees, countryside, River Wensum SAC and wildlife. Once lost, nature doesn’t come back. #StopNWLink #SaveOurEnvironment

We stand with John Allaway in exposing NCC’s failures on the NWL project. Flawed surveys, negligence, and deceit have destroyed trust. We demand Cllr. Mason Billig resign immediately. #StopWensumLink #Accountability #EnvironmentalProtection

Scientists think there's a decent chance that, if global temps rise 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels, it could trigger a cascade of tipping points that further accelerate warming, up to 5 or 6 degrees. AKA: "A cluster of abrupt shifts occur in ESMs [Earth system models] at 1.5 to 2ºC."

It was an honour to be asked to write a guest blog for Norfolk Wildlife Trust. In it I reflect on the news that the planning application for a destructive new road across sensitive habitat has been withdrawn. www.norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/guest-b...

This is well worth a read for anyone following Labour’s misjudged lurch towards policies that sacrifice the environment on the altar of growth. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/lab...

Fascinating study. Cooperative breeding and nest helping in Long-tailed Tit driven by: high kinship, low dispersal, and high nest predation rates - that create failed breeders that can become nest helpers

This excellent letter in the Eastern Daily Press is a case in point of the way Starmer is alienating supporters with his pro-growth to hell with nature approach.

The Labour Government has made it clear that getting the UK building is high on its agenda. But infrastructure has to happen in the right place and in the right way, so our most important places for wildlife remain protected. action.rspb.org.uk/page/159517/...

Slowly, in the lengthening days, spring comes again to these woods, safe for now from the Norwich Western Link road. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I spoke in support of the Climate and Nature Bill. In this clip from my speech, I explain that the climate and nature crises are here right now, and we need more decisive action now, too. youtu.be/L9dSHElg7Vo

This article is spot on. Starmer is pandering to the wrong crowd with his clumsy rhetoric. I already know of several prople who’ve cancelled their Labour Party membership over this. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Having wildlife charities like Norfolk Wildlife Trust and the Woodland Trust supporting us has been fantastic. I applaud them for taking a stand against this road. www.edp24.co.uk/news/2488033...

1/3 I am delighted that it seems the final nail has gone into the coffin of this environmentally and financially ruinous scheme. The Tory-led county council spent £800,000 a month trying to keep it alive while cutting vital services. But we're not at the end of this saga yet.

“..the simple fact of the matter is that the planning system in this country does not secure the climate ambitions that the government has. "So the reason I went into the planning system and the legal system was to try to shore that up” @drandrewboswell.bsky.social in interview with @news.sky.com

It's not every day that you receive a direct attack from the Prime minister I did today Here is the local #Norfolk coverage of it archive.ph/BuPja and below is my quote People did not elect Starmer and Reeves to reduce protections for nature. The attack on me says more about them than me.

It's also, I believe, flat wrong if not dishonest. I can't find any case which "reached" (his word) the Supreme Court. The case he is describing was refused permission by the Supreme Court. And not because it had "no logical basis" but "because there is no arguable point of law."
