What’s good and bad about Dereham?
This was the question councillors considered at the annual parish meeting of Dereham Town Council on Thursday, in which members discussed how best to invest in the town s future.
It comes as Breckland District Council launches a new survey for residents as part of their ‘Future Breckland: Thriving People and Places’ project.
Consultants have been appointed to design “town delivery plans” for Dereham, Watton, Attleborough, Swaffham and Thetford.
Breckland council hopes that their recommendations will leave the district “in pole-position to leverage new external funding”.
LOCKDOWN is hard, and we are all missing a trip to the pub. With restrictions seemingly carrying on until the spring, we have put together our list of five Malvern pubs we can t wait to go back to once they re-open. 1: The Nag s Head - Malvern Situated at the foot of the Malvern Hills, the Nag s Head is one of the best watering holes in the area. An independent proper pub, the atmosphere and service offered makes it a welcome rest stop for walkers on their way down from the hills. In December, it was named in the Good Pub Guide s best 10 pubs in the country. Prestigious recognition for one of Malvern s most popular pubs.

A solicitor has warned a Norfolk council that it signed off on a planning application with “fundamental flaws” and that there are “strong grounds” for the permission they gave to be quashed in court.
It is understood Breckland council has now pulled the application from the planning committee meeting it was due to be discussed at on Monday, December 14, and the item has been deferred until 2021.
The letter warns that an agreement signed by Breckland “indisputably failed” to provide enough outdoor playing space on-site, but outline permission was still given to the developers.
