As stated in my post on 6th July a meeting was planned with key figures. This was held at the Village Hall on 14th July. We asked for comments from residents to feed into the meeting – thank you for your comments. These are provided below as are my notes (NOT minutes!) for this meeting:
As yet we have not been able to organise a public meeting with NCC, SNC and Jackson regarding this roundabout project. We will continue to press for a meeting to establish the options for tackling the potential for a traffic rat run through Wreningham.
You may be interested in the update provided by project’s site manager, Jamie Haywood.
Please see the Traffic Order from NCC legal team about road closures from 1st June to 25th September 2026. This is related to the construction of the new roundabout by Hethel Engineering. Please note that Jim Webber, SNC District Councillor, is hoping to arrange a public meeting with the construction team to discuss the roundabout project and its impact on local people.
We have received information from the campaign group and I have extracted the document relevant to this area.
