Welcome to the latest edition of your Transforming Breckland magazine I

n this edition of Transforming Breckland we are highlighting some of the exceptional work taking place every day to help residents, local businesses, and our environment, thrive and prosper.

One of our major priorities this year has been developing our Inspiring Communities programme (pages 8 and 9), where £1million has been invested to support projects offering local solutions and making a life-changing impact. We have also risen to the challenge in delivering more emergency housing for residents by investing £1.8 million in developing Elm House in Thetford (page 10). Whilst in October we invested over £98,000 supporting local groups (page 6) delivering innovative projects to help protect the environment, and support residents make more sustainable choices in their everyday lives.

Residents shaping the future of Breckland’s market towns Feedback from local people is helping to shape the future of each of our local towns for decades to come.

As part of the “Future Breckland” programme, one of the most ambitious forward-looking projects of its kind nationally, we’ve been listening to what people think is best about their town, as well as what the future should look like. As part of a year-long conversation with the whole District, your comments are shaping the plans for Breckland’s and its five Market Towns to help shape an ambitious, but achievable, vision for the future.

Engagement activities and events will be running until March 2022, and we will be publishing new information and draft ideas for comment on our website. Get involved and find out more at www.breckland.gov.uk/ Future-Breckland

The RSPCA PawPrints Gold Award goes to Breckland Council

Breckland Council’s ongoing commitment to protecting animal welfare has seen us pick up another prestigious award from the RSPCA, the fourth gold award in as many years.

The animal charity issued the council with its latest award at the RSPCA 2021 PawPrint Awards, which recognises the council’s exceptional care and provision when dealing with stray dogs, re-homing and promotional work around the microchipping and neutering.

The latest award complements further investment Breckland has made this year by investing in a new Animal Welfare Officer, who is inspecting animal breeders, kennels, catteries and pet shops (see page 11).

Making a real difference in animal welfare

Breckland Council has invested in a new role to protect animals. Our new Animal Welfare officer has been busy inspecting animal-related businesses and breeders across the district, ensuring they are following the law and properly caring for their animals.

As a nation of animal lovers, it is great to see that the vast majority of local animal businesses take their responsibilities very seriously. But our officers are out and about to help keep standards high and tackle things like unlicensed puppy farms and other illegal activity. If need advice or want to report a concern you have about a pet shop, animal breeder, horse riding centre, dog kennel, or cattery, please email licensing.team@breckland.gov.uk

We inspect 92 food premises each month

What’s your favourite restaurant’s score on the door?

We have a wide range of amazing restaurants, takeaways, cafes, and food suppliers across the district and Breckland Council inspects all of them to check their food-handling processes and how well they are following food safety law.

We then give each business a rating out of five and, if necessary, advice on how they can further improve to keep customers safe. But do you know what rating your local takeaway has been given? Or your favourite restaurant? Look out for the 0-5 rating sticker on their door or check our website for details: www.breckland.gov.uk/food-business/nfhrs

Supporting our Armed Forces Community Breckland Council fully upholds and supports the Armed Forces Covenant which means we have policies in place to ensure those who are serving, have served in the armed forces and their families are treated with fairness and respect.

Protecting Swaffham’s heritage and designing its future We’re working with Historic England and a range of other experts to deliver the Swaffham High Street Heritage Action Zone project, which will protect Swaffham’s historic high street while further enhancing the town for residents and visitors.

Our consultants will be engaging in public consultation for our Swaffham Town Centre Masterplan. Look out for these opportunities in the town, on our website, and on our social media We’re also finding ways to preserve the character and architectural importance of Swaffham’s oldest buildings and creating opportunities for building owners to access support to repair some of the town’s oldest buildings and reinstate some beautiful, traditional features.

This is an exciting project for Swaffham and has been made possible after we secured £380k from Historic England and ring-fenced around £200k of Breckland Council money for the town.

£5,000 grant supports Yaxham playpark The Yaxham under-13s playpark has been supported with a £5,000 grant from Breckland Council.
