A12 four-villages bypass

In February 2013, along with Suffolk County Council, we published a report commissioned to review the traffic impacts of EDF’s Sizewell C proposals on the A12 Woodbridge to Lowestoft route through the villages of Marlesford, Little Glemham, Stratford St Andrew and Farnham, which backs up the case for a four-villages bypass:

In December 2013 Suffolk County Council commissioned a report to look at route options for the A12:

• Appendices
• Executive summary

In December 2014 we published an assessment underlining the wider economic benefits of investment in the A12:

In January 2015, we met with local campaigners and agreed to approach central government, seeking additional financial support for a four-village bypass:

• Joint Local Authority Group (JLAG) letter to the Secretary of State for Transport
