Greater Norwich Growth Board approves funding for Green Infrastructure schemes in and around Norwich

Seven green infrastructure schemes, including nature reserves and a cycle route, have been approved as part of the Greater Norwich Growth Programme 2014/15.

They are:

• Opening up Harrison’s Plantation, The Brecks and Boar Plantation in Sprowston to public access
• Enhancing Danby Wood Local Nature Reserve, in Marston Lane, Norwich
• Enhancing Marston Marsh Local Nature Reserve, also off Marston Lane, Norwich
• Improving Earlham Millennium Green, to help it cope with the extra use which will be created once more homes are built at Three Score 
• Improving Norwich’s Riverside Walk, including repairing river banks, new interpretation signs and more seating
• Improving Marriott’s Way from Thorpe Marriott to Norwich, with better signs and improvements to the cycle path
• A health walks project for patients and visitors at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital - to provide connections between the Yare Valley and the wider countryside

The schemes got agreement in principle at the inaugural meeting of the Greater Norwich Growth Board, as part of the annual growth programme for 2014/15.
