Weird that #SizewellC says in this paid for content they've two contractors taking on the Link Road and 2 Villages ByPass "to ensure we deliver them on schedule" but there's still v little sign of activity and communities have not been informed what's happening.... #StopSizewellC

It's still not clear whether/when work will start again on the #SizewellC Link Road after a change in contractors, but it's been very quiet for many weeks now. Meanwhile there is a big hole in what was once Pretty Road and Theberton's route to Saxmundham is barred #StopSizewellC
