Have five years of changes to Norwich roads put motorists off driving in the city?

In recent years, Westlegate, Tombland and Golden Ball Street have all been regenerated, along with Ber Street, Rouen Road and Finkelgate.

Trump tries to change focus of border debate
Jonathan Lemire and Darlene Superville, Associated Press Updated 10:07 pm, Friday, June 22, 2018 Now Playing: President Donald Trump is highlighting the plight of Americans whose loved ones were killed by people who entered the country illegally. (June 22) Media: Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is trying to cast doubt on wrenching tales of migrant children separated from their families at the border. He's dismissing "phony stories of sadness and grief" while asserting the real victims of the nation's immigration crisis are Americans killed by those who cross the border unlawfully. Trump is being bombarded with criticism condemning the family-separation situation as a national moment of shame. And he is firing back, sometimes twisting facts and changing his story but nonetheless highlighting the genuine grief of families on the other side of the equation. window._taboola = window._taboola || []; _taboola.push({ mode: … [Read more...] about Trump tries to change focus of border debate
Trump advises GOP: Quit wasting time on immigration.
Lisa Mascaro and Zeke Miller, Associated Press Updated 9:59 pm, Friday, June 22, 2018 Now Playing: President Donald Trump told his fellow Republicans in Congress to "stop wasting their time" on immigration legislation until after the November elections.

On Capitol Hill on Friday, the mood was gloomy, particularly among the more centrist Republicans who have been pushing the party's immigration compromise. That bill would provide $25 billion for … [Read more...] about Trump advises GOP: Quit wasting time on immigration.
