Chloe comments: “I’m looking forward to welcoming the Secretary of State for Transport to Norwich to view the progress of the NDR construction.
“Norwich needs this road to make sure that people can simply get around. At the moment, parts of Northern Norwich are too congested. The road will provide relief for all those who have to crawl out of their own driveways in Sprowston, or sit in traffic in Hellesdon. It is the kind of better transport infrastructure that we need for Norwich so that business and jobs can flourish - it's vital to our local economy. It will also allow greener travel choices in the city centre. Along with infrastructure like schools and doctors' surgeries, this is what allows for homes to built for all those of the next generation who need them."
