#norfolkuk — Public Fediverse posts

This is the same Road Safety Team that objected to a #cycleway continuing across a junction but approved this as a better solution in #kingsLynn #NorfolkUK - I feel the main reason this hasn't killed anyone yet is that most people ignore it and rejoin the carriageway before the end of the road, or turn left and U turn (the "primary" cycle route continues on-road away from the camera). Or give up cycling this route after one attempt and drive because that's what #NorfolkCountyCouncil expect

@NorwichCycling #cycling improvements secretly cut by #NorfolkCountyCouncil who say the project can't afford it? Well, that's only been happening for decades. Here's a description of one from 2008. For a long time, #Norwich was protected from this by city grants and delegated highways powers. The rest of #NorfolkUK has seen this so many times: cycling is cut first despite offering the best cost-benefit returns. Plant is a car freak.

@RinglandWoods there's potential for ironic justice in the tip closures in that, if #NorfolkCountyCouncil get their way and become sole council for #norfolkuk, then clearing up and prosecuting flytipping becomes a cost for them instead of the borough-level councils. #kingslynn tip already booking-required, shutting Wednesdays and short hours otherwise.
