The A47 Alliance, Norfolk County Council and others along the route of the A47 are gearing up for a social media day of action on 13 October 2021.
This is in advance of the comprehensive spending review and to show to Government and others that there is strong support for dualling the route.
I am messaging to make you aware of this campaign taking place on Wednesday and also to share key messages so that you can also support using social media etc and share with your local contacts who can also do the same.
Please see the attached letter with details on how to support.
I think the key message is that everyone can help and its simple to do.
Here are some ideas and some wording you can use:
- Add to social media – We’re supporting the campaign to dual the A47 #JustDualIt
- Add to social media – Let’s call on the Government to prioritise our region’s road network & agree to #JustFundIt.
- Complete the National Highways Route Strategies feedback tool and encourage others to do the same at https://highwaysengland.co.uk/our-work/our-route-strategies/
- Retweet posts from A47 Alliance (@A47Alliance) / Twitter
- retweet posts Norfolk County Council (@NorfolkCC) / Twitter
Within FDC we are contacting local businesses to ask them to get involved and we will be doing our own posts on FDC social media between now and Wednesday and on the actual day. We will also be contacting local media to see if they will get involved as well.
Thanks for your help. Lets see how much support we can get from across Fenland on Wednesday 13 October.
