Norwich City Council s in principle support for the £153m Western Link of the Northern Distributor Road looks like being pulled, after Norwich Labour Party members backed their county counterparts who had opposed the scheme.
Norfolk Labour county councillors announced in July 2019 that they opposed the £153m road, which Norfolk County Council wants to build to connect the NDR to the A47 to the west of Norwich.
But, up to now, Labour-controlled Norwich City Council has adopted a more circumspect approach - that the road had its conditional support, dependent on a package of other transport investment and mitigation measures.
