Clive Lewis – 2022 Statement on the Norwich Western Link

The statement made by Clive Lewis, the Labour MP for Norwich South, on 18 May 2022.

Bulldozers could soon be tearing through a pristine area of natural beauty and biodiversity to make way for the Western Link. This fossil fuel infrastructure and ecological destruction is not what Norwich needs.

The river Wensum and the rich ecology in the Wensum Valley is 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.

This is why I support the campaign to stop the Western Link road being built.
