nerdy🧵for anyone interested in how decisions about transport and travel are made for #Norwich

For the last month I have been trying to get answers about the status of the "Transport for Norwich" committee that I am a member of 1/2 The committee is made up of 4 Norwich based cllrs (2 x city, 2 x county 3 Lab, 1 LD) and 4 Norfolk Tories. The Chair is County Cabinet Member Martin Wilby (Tory).

When the committee was formed we were invited to join a decision making committee 2/2

Been on @BBCNorfolk this morning talking about NSFT (mental health trust) remaining in special measures. Can’t believe that some of the problems that we first raised the alarm about in 2013 still persist. Day to day I continue to see the fall-out in my community. I can’t imagine how distressing it is for bereaved families who have been repeatedly fobbed off that “lessons will be learned” to see same problems persisting, & five areas of concern actually getting worse. Less than 50% of areas they are directed to improve have got better.
