Campaigners who want to stop the £153m Western Link have accused County Hall of dismissing reports about the road s impact on a super colony of barbastelle bats.
The Stop The Wensum Link campaign has sent a letter of complaint to Tom McCabe, Norfolk County Council s head of paid service, ahead of a key decision over the future of the mooted road on the edge of Norwich.

A decision to pick the contractor to build the controversial £153m Norwich Western Link - and to submit a business case for the road to the government - is due to be made within weeks.
To be in with a chance of securing funding and consent for the road, which would link the Norwich Northern Distributor Road to the A47 to the west of the city, Norfolk County Council needs to lodge a business case.
