Proper planning requires proper consideration of a communities ‘Green’ needs – in order to preserve their rural identity in our part of the world and, more generally, preserve local physical and mental wellbeing.

Having supported the local community previously in raising their concerns about the lack of green space in the town, I am therefore delighted to see Breckland Council, Dereham Town Council and the aboutDereham Partnership, along with partners, spearheading a marvellous ‘Green Revolution’ to combat the town’s historic lack of such spaces.

Our children need space to play, and our communities a strong connection to the natural environment.
