Say NO to pedestrianisation of Norwich Street, Fakenham

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

A trader on Norwich Street wants to pedestrianise the street, which means it would be closed to traffic. I Believe this would harm our beautiful town
As a Trader on Norwich Street we have proof that when the road was closed a few years ago, our takings went down considerably.
I believe that is people can't drive thru the heart of our town, they will bypass it and this would do considerable harm to our town
