What is Traffic Group?
​
The Traffic Group has been set up as a result of the temporary changes made to the highway network in relation to Covid 19 in the summer of 2020.
It will also help to identify issues within Aylsham following the announcement that two new large developments are proposed in the Greater Norwich Local Plan.
​
The final strategy document will be presented to the Town Council in September 2023. The Traffic Group has now been disbanded.

Traffic Survey
