The Greater Norwich Growth Board (GNGB) has announced significant investments in 13 projects across Broadland, Norwich, and South Norfolk. This funding, derived from pooled Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) receipts, aims to enhance local infrastructure and improve the quality of life for residents.
Projects include substantial improvements to Sweetbriar Marshes, Wherryman’s Way, and Broadland Country Park, as well as significant investments in local libraries and community spaces. The GNGB is also funding improvements to public parks and green spaces, such as Rothbury Park, Buckenham Ancient Woodland, and Lion Wood.
A major investment in Diss will see the development of a new leisure facility and public plaza, enhancing the town center and providing new recreational opportunities for residents. Additionally, the GNGB is supporting improvements to local infrastructure, including road networks and cycle paths.
Councillor Sue Holland, Leader of Broadland District Council and Chair of the GNGB said:
“This is the latest list of projects we are putting forward to benefit from our unique fund of pooled CIL receipts and is tangible evidence of the benefits that our communities receive from planned growth in the Greater Norwich area. “It’s really exciting to see so many ambitious and forward thinking projects being supported and this investment will ensure that critical infrastructure is delivered that makes real and lasting improvements to the lives of our residents. I would like to congratulate everyone for their work in getting these projects off the ground.”
