There are now - finally - some temporary traffic lights on the William Frost Way crossing, but what's really going on?

Just what is going on with the William Frost Way crossing?

Work on providing a walking and cycling route across the A47 Longwater junction and the adjacent William Frost Way started in July this year. We look at what happened next

Good to see the vegetation on the Dereham Road cycle track finally cut back. They've done a good job in clearing the vegetation well back from the path edge - by at least a metre - and have then cleared away the overgrown grass back to the original edge of the path.

Temporary traffic lights have FINALLY been put up on the William Frost Way crossing at Longwater.

Still no news on when the toucan crossing will be open.

Norwich Cycling Campaign claimed the sentence was evidence that "...killing a cyclist through distraction does not carry meaningful consequences."

"Distracted driving is deadly, and sentencing must reflect that reality": Driver who killed cyclist on dual carriageway after "flurry" of phone activity avoids jail

Shayne Hill was given a 12-month suspended jail term and a 12-month driving ban by Judge Anthony Bate after admitted death by careless driving in the 2022 incident that took Cheryl Tye's life
