SNUB or Stop Norwich UrBanisation is a non-profit organisation based around Norwich, United Kingdom,[2] whose aim is to stop the urbanisation of Norwich and its surrounding villages, such as Rackheath, Salhouse, Wroxham and Postwick.[3]
The work of SNUB has received national coverage on BBC Radio 4's Farming Today programme [3][4] and they have also received local coverage on television programmes such as BBC One's Politics Show,[5] BBC One's Look East,[6] ITV's Anglia Tonight[7] and a BBC One Norwich North By-Election Special;[8] and in local newspapers, such as the Eastern Daily Press[9] and the Norwich Evening News.[10]
In March 2012, after a successful legal challenge at the High Court, they announced that the actor Martin Shaw would become their official patron.[11] In a press release, he announced that he was "simply furious and upset by your plight and that of all of us who wish to live in quiet and peace. I will be your Patron and keep fighting".[11]
Rackheath Eco-town
[edit]SNUB have worked alongside some local residents in protesting against the proposed Rackheath Eco-town, as they claim the plans are flawed and will lead to massive overdevelopment of the area.[7][12]
An official petition on the 10 Downing Street petitions website was created by SNUB, and had nearly 300 online signatures (as of June 2010),[13] and a paper petition with over 3000 signatures.[14]
Norwich Northern Distributor Road
[edit]SNUB opposed the Norwich Northern Distributor Road which some objectors called the "Road to Nowhere", as it no longer is planned to link up to Taverham and the A47.[15]
