Watch families walk on road INCHES away from lorries to get to theme park – as campaigners slam ‘NO other option’ --[Reported by Umva mag]

FAMILIES have been filmed walking just inches away from heavy vehicles while trying to get to a theme park – amid “no other available options”. The footage, showing a large family using the road in Norfolk, was posted to YouTube by Dean Bailey, who set up his channel ‘Dinosaur Danger’ to highlight how many visitors walk down the main road.

Dean has posted several clips of the B1535, showing families walking down the road amid traffic. He has slammed local authorities for permitting the expansion of the theme park without building a new route to it. Dean told the Eastern Daily Press: “This is a very busy road and there are families walking straight down the middle of it while trucks go flying past. “I have seen so many accidents and it’s only a matter of time before someone is killed.” Broadland Council gave the greenlight for ROARR! in Lenwade to expand by 25% to bring in 200,000 extra yearly visitors. Buses from the city drop passengers in Norwich Road, but those choosing to travel by foot have to walk along the B1353. Norfolk County Council had suggested a pathway to go through the Royal Norwich Gold Club, but an agreement was not reached, the EDP reports. Broadland Council’s Peter Bulman, who represents the area, said: “It’s very much needed but no one seems to want to fund it. I’ve argued quite vociferously for this over the years. “We’re at an impasse because this is a private enterprise and should not be subsidised by the public purse, but no one wants to cough up the money or give up their land.” A Norfolk County Council spokesperson told The Sun: “We sought to secure a footway between Norwich Road and the dinosaur park in 2022, but that was not possible as it would have required land owned by others. “Our safety team continuously reviews accident records and will suggest improvements to roads based on this data and according to priorities and funding. “We will continue to monitor the situation, at this site and across the county, and will take further action as required. Safety on our roads is a priority.” YouTubeMore footage from the Dinosaur Danger YouTube channel shows lorries using the road[/caption]
