Several pages on the EVRA website have been updated with matters that will be of interest.
Eaton 20mph Zone – We have received information from the City Council about the formal adoption of the experimental 20mph Zone for Eaton Village. You can read more about this at: https://eatonvillage.co.uk/local-issues/eaton-20mph-zone/
Trading Standards and Scams – Reports on the latest Scams to separate people from their hard earned money are a regular feature on News and other programmes. We continue to receive regular updates from Norfolk Trading Standards on the latest Scams which are posted on our website shortly after receipt. https://eatonvillage.co.uk/local-links-and-services/norfolk-trading-standards-how-to-be-scam-aware/recent-scam-alerts-from-norfolk-trading-standards/

Bluebell Road closure at Earlham Five Ways Roundabout – Transport for Norwich will be working at the Five Ways roundabout to make safety improvements for pedestrians and cyclists. The works start on Monday 3rd June and continues through to 31 August and includes closure of Bluebell Road from just before the roundabout. Gypsy Lane and Earlham Green Lane will also be closed at the approaches to the roundabout. Earlham Road will be open but with traffic controls at the roundabout.
Drivers will not be able to get onto the Earlham Road via Bluebell Road for the duration of the works.
Diversions will be in place but traffic may be busier than normal. Other works are planned for Earlham Road “Green Pedalway” through to the City Centre which will involve closures and diversions.
It is highly likely that the UEA will take steps to prevent “rat runs” through to the Watton Road.
Details of the works can be found on the County Council Website at: https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/…/earlham-road-cycle-safety-sche…
A link to these and other roadworks around the area can be found at https://roadworks.org/ which also shows all planned works across the country.
The above information has also been posted previously on the EVR Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/eatonvillageresidentsassociation
