This is your home. Where you’re raising your family, building your business or putting down roots. You deserve a council that is on your side.

Putting Breckland First means your priorities carry weight in the decisions we take: safer neighbourhoods, town centres worth spending time in, stronger connections between our communities and more opportunities to build a life here.

We’re accountable to you because these decisions affect your everyday life. We want you to feel the difference where it matters most: on your street, in your town or village, and in the future your children can build here.

Every young person deserves the chance to step into work, and we're helping make that happen.

Open Road Norfolk is creating new opportunities for young people to develop practical skills and take steps towards employment at their site in Thetford.

Our £65,000 package of support, has helped provide the training and opportunities young people need to build their confidence, gain qualifications and move towards a brighter future.

By opening doors to opportunity today, we're helping build a stronger future and Putting Breckland First for generations to come.

A job can change a life. The right support can open the door.

We’re backing Breckland residents with the skills, training and opportunities to get into work and go further, because ambition deserves a chance and nobody’s future should stand still.

With more than 1,000 people already supported through The Link in Dereham, we’re investing in brighter futures, stronger families and the workforce our businesses need. That’s Putting Breckland First in action.

Everyone deserves a place to call home.

We're working with housing providers and developers to deliver more affordable homes across Breckland, helping local people access the housing they need.

With phase two at Chalk Meadows in Narborough nearing completion, a further 30 homes will soon be ready, bringing the total number of affordable homes across the development to 70.

Putting Breckland First means working to ensure local people have access to the homes they need, now and in the future.

Every home has the potential to change lives.

From bricks and mortar to front doors opening, affordable homes create opportunities for local people to build a future close to the communities they know and love.

Putting Breckland First means creating homes and thriving communities where local people can put down roots and build a brighter future.

We’re proudly backing Breckland’s wealth creators. The people who take the risks, put in the hours and build businesses that provide livelihoods for families across our district.

Their ambition deserves our backing. That’s why we’re helping businesses invest in new machinery, smarter technology and skilled people, with grants and practical support to turn hard-earned success into the next opportunity for growth.

Because when our businesses succeed, that success reaches into homes and communities across Breckland. More jobs, better prospects and a future people can build right here. We’re determined to make that happen. That’s Putting Breckland First.

We’re supporting Breckland’s businesses to help them grow.

From investing in new equipment to creating jobs and developing skills, our business grants are helping local businesses turn ambition into opportunity.

Peerless Plastics is one example of how funding through the Rural England Prosperity Fund is helping businesses grow and invest in their future.

By investing in local businesses, we’re helping create jobs, strengthen our local economy and Putting Breckland First.

It's the little things that make a big difference to our towns and villages. And we're taking action to look after them.

Through our Pride in Place team, we're putting that commitment into practice, from cleaning up public spaces and repairing street furniture to tackling overgrown greenery.

Because taking pride in our communities means getting out there and making the improvements happen.

That's Putting Breckland First.

We’re tackling neglected buildings, bringing empty spaces back into use and taking action to transform our towns and villages into places people are proud to call home.

That means driving investment, tackling the issues that have been ignored for too long and delivering real improvements that make a difference to people’s lives.

We’re not standing by and watching our communities decline. We’re taking action, delivering change and Putting Breckland First.

Looking to the future doesn’t mean leaving our past behind.

We’re proud of Breckland’s heritage, and we’re investing to protect and restore the historic buildings that give our towns their character.

In Swaffham, investment helped restore the historic building, home to Swaffham Café, including repairs to its roof, guttering and traditional sash windows.

And it’s just one of many restorations being delivered through the Swaffham - A Historic Market Town programme, helping protect the town’s unique character for generations to come.

Our heritage shaped our towns. We’re making sure it remains part of their future. That’s Putting Breckland First.
