• A Message from CPRE Norfolk about its Vision for Norfolk (V4N)

    CPRE Norfolk launched its vision for Norfolk in July – full details are at http://v4n.org.uk.  It calls for a common sense approach to protecting all the things that make Norfolk unique, as this will best serve the future of our county, all who live in it and the UK as a whole.

    Norfolk’s environment is a unique and precious asset.  It allows us to grow a substantial amount of the UK’s food, supports a major tourism industry and has an incredibly diverse range of flora and fauna.

    Today, Norfolk is facing many challenges including population growth, climate change and the ending of the partnership with the European Union.  At the same time, there are huge pressures to grow our economy and build more houses.  We must plan effectively, fully valuing our countryside and environment.

    CPRE Norfolk’s ‘Vision for Norfolk’ is a call for us all to join in the debate about how we manage these pressures, while protecting this precious and fragile environment. The land we have is a finite supply, and all of it serves a purpose. Once it is changed, it cannot be recovered.

    You can join the debate and help make a difference for the future, and the legacy we leave for future generations. Please read more about our V4N at http://v4n.org.uk/

    Many thanks,

    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

    The 85A connections through Loddon will cease.  Instead the County is creating 3 full return services from Claxton to Norwich, running 6 days a week from Monday to Saturday.  Details are as follows:
