Lingwood & Burlingham Parish Council

Norfolk County Council launched a survey on Facebook last week via their Facebook page re the park and ride services in Norwich.

You may not all be on Facebook so attached is a screenshot of the page and the link.  Hopefully it is possible to complete the survey without a Facebook log in,

The survey relates to all park and ride sites.

The survey completion date is 16 December.
