Opposition
The road is the focus of a long running uk road protest from a local campaign group and is also opposed by the Campaign for Better Transport, a public transport advocacy group.
Campaign for Better Transport executive director Stephen Joseph criticised the scheme as poor use of funding when the DfT revealed the Norwich Northern Distributor Road was going ahead, while the Sustainable Travel Cities and Kickstart Bus programs were suspended.
Opponents argue that although the route had been changed so that it no longer crosses the River Wensum a Site of Special Scientific Interest that there would create pressure to extend the road across the valley at a later date.
