THREAD 1/n

@NorfolkCC current Local Transport Plan had remarkable ambition in 2011 for #Norfolk to be seen as a leader in carbon reduction, nationally & internationally

Yes, reallyπŸ˜„ πŸ‘‡

Spoiler - don't trust the large parties

So what has happened?

Absolute carbon emissions have increased over the 2011-2018 period in every #Norfolk district for both A-roads and Minor-roads (except for A-roads for Norwich)

Here are minor roads against national trends

And here are A-roads

If you want Green,Β #VoteGreen2021
4/4

Back in 2011, only the Greens tried to get proper carbon reduction targets and delivery policies into the local transport plan

Other parties obstructed us

The outcome -the disastrous record of rising @NorfolkCC emissions- was inevitable

If you want Green,Β #VoteGreen2021

THREAD: What you should know about @SNorfolkCouncil planning appl for a agricultural machinery &engineering company HQ in Swainsthorpe nr Norwich

a High Court judicial hearing is pencilled in for March 23, having launched a JR as reported here edp24.co.uk/news/local-cou…

FOUR grounds are before the Court including breaches to Council's constitution - these will be decided by the Court

A snail ....

Here's the snail

The Lesser Whirlpool Ramshorn Snail (LWRS)

It is found only in 3 UK sites πŸ‘‰sac.jncc.gov.uk/species/S4056/

See map⬇️⬇️

So how do you get rid of a problem like the tiny LWRS snail which might stop you building that road ...

As the road is going to destroy the entire habitat - Broadland drainage ditches

You move the entire colony

Translocation ...
