Moving Thetford Forward

Thetford is about to see big changes over the next 15 years, we will see -

• 6,000 more homes
• 5,000 new jobs created. 

The town centre and other parts of the town will also see major investment and at the same time we will take special care to protect important historic assets.

Thetford - Historic past, Healthy Future!

The Moving Thetford Forward team wants to ensure that local residents and businesses have a say in the development of the town and will ensure interested parties are kept up to date with progress through this website.

Preferred Options Consultation 23rd February to 3rd April 09

This consultation stage has now closed. I hope you found the draft plans and ideas interesting, and many thanks to all those who took time to write to us.

We are currently going through all your comments, including over 700 completed questionnaires from Secondary School students! 

If you want another look at the draft proposals they can be found below.

What happens next

• We will assess your responses
• We have more studies to complete on transport, energy and water over the next year
• We will then take on board the responses and the study findings and then in early 2010, we will hopefully have a final version that we will submit to an independent examiner - there will be another round of consultation then.
