In response to Breckland Council delivering a new Town Plan for Dereham, the town council and aboutDereham have set up a working group to agree on a common approach.
The group, which is made up of four town councilors, four aboutDereham members and is chaired by the mayor, Stuart Green, has created an unofficial list of desirable outcomes it would like to see.
People in Dereham have formed a group to ensure a “town delivery plan” soon to be drawn up by the district council is done “with” them and not “to” them.

A Norfolk town’s heritage trust is looking for space to store some of their larger items - including the town’s original 1954 sign.
“We’re full up, so we badly need more space,” said Dereham Heritage Trust chairman Trevor Ogden at a meeting of the town council, who added that they needed somewhere dry but not necessarily warm.
