We had Clare Balding on yesterday’s BBC Radio 4 Ramblings programme, walking our lovely Boudicca Way!
The route recently had new signage put in by our Norfolk County Council Norfolk Trails team, and all the stiles removed to make it more accessible.
Listen to the show here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00051p q

We're taking the campaign to get the A47 fully dualled to Westminster!
Norfolk and the wider region needs and deserves a better, safer A47 - it's our major east-west route that connects us to the A1 at Peterborough, and yet currently only 47% of it is dual carriageway.
Full dualling would improve journey times and reliability, help to reduce accidents, attract new businesses and create jobs, and encourage more visitors to come to the area. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?
... We'll be telling Government Ministers all this and more when we, along with businesses and politicians from across the region, meet with them in three weeks' time.

Plans for our carers event on Friday 14 June are coming together...
We will be filling the Forum with organisations, groups and networks from across Norfolk that can help with the difficulties, stresses and challenges of caring.
Throughout the day there will be free to try activities from laughter yoga and gentle exercise to adult colouring and come along and sing. There will also be stands from organisations that support carers with health and wellbeing, assistive technology, finances and activities for you in the community.
