The town serves the rural hinterland of both Forest Heath and Breckland, some of which is classed as a rural priority area. Brandon was traditionally known as the crossroads where the routes between the ancient settlements of Kings Lynn, Bury St Edmunds, Swaffham and Newmarket converge. This enviable geographical position, once the source of wealth, employment and importance is today seen as one of the reasons for Brandon’s decline and loss of direction. Brandon today, like any other town, has its issues, some of which are unique: Brandon has a higher than average population of people aged 60 yrs or over and is somewhat regarded as a retirement destination. 64% of residents in a recent survey live in bungalows. It has a higher than average percentage of households consisting of one pensioner living alone. Because of the elderly population, there is a higher number of deaths than average per 1,000 residents. The majority of people who are disadvantaged through poor health feel that their needs are not adequately catered for. Educational attainment is below average. 40% of children who attended Methwold High School obtained 5 ‘GCSE’ passes in 2003 compared to the Suffolk average of 57% and the average point score at A Level is also below the Suffolk and national average. Only 10% in Brandon East achieved a level 4/5 qualification (first degree of above) compared to 20% nationally. 37% of people aged 16-74 yrs have no qualifications at all compared to the national average of 29%. Brandon is in the top quintile of most deprived wards in Suffolk for housing deprivation. Rental from private landlords or letting agencies is high, probably due to the high number of transient military personnel who live in these areas. Unemployment is less than the national average but the skills base is low. Almost double the national average are employed in public administration or public defence posts due to the large USAF military airbases nearby. The airbases employ a large number of the population both directly and indirectly and any removal of the airbases would impact significantly upon Brandon’s economy. There is concern about the town centre with empty shops and vandalism. In a survey undertaken in 1999, 44% of residents considered that their quality of life is worse than 10 years ago. There was a higher level of domestic violence recorded than in other areas of Suffolk and burglary Page 2 A Profile of Brandon rates are higher than average in Brandon. Fear of crime is high especially around the Warren Close estate and Market Hill. A significant amount of racial harassment has been reported, especially against the polish community There is concern by residents for the environment especially the pollution from traffic and noise pollution from low flying aircraft. Brandon’s environment however, is to be envied. It is surrounded by many acres of unspoilt forest and clay and chalk downlands. The environment is a major attraction and is considered locally to be the most important feature of the area.

Although it is not possible to allocate Social Grade precisely from information collected by the 2001 Census, it provides a good approximation of Social Grade.

  • Suffolk's Framework for Growth
    Suffolk’s Framework for Growth 1 Foreword Suffolk’s local authorities are working together to address our residents and businesses’ future needs and deliver our growth plans in an inclusive and integrated way. Responding to the Government’s ambitions to increase the nation’s overall prosperity and recognising past growth has not always benefitted all communities equally, our Framework sets out how we will utilise Suffolk’s potential to ensure we plan and achieve the growth that is right for us and our communities. A Framework provides a mechanism to bring together work across teams; including local planning, economic development, skills, and housing; alongside our partners at the University of Suffolk, Suffolk Chamber of Commerce and New Anglia LEP. It sets out how we are working across our administrative boundaries and with our key partners to deliver our physical development (homes, employment sites, public and private buildings) in a way that matches our communities’ aspirations for growth and ensures we can match this with the investment in our infrastructure both now and in the future. The Framework includes links where you can find further, more detailed information. It builds on our conversations with Government, our partners and our communities, which started with our proposals for devolution and have been built on through our responses to both the Industrial Strategy and the Housing White Paper. It will provide the mechanism for monitoring our successes and realigning work that is not achieving the outcomes we anticipate. This Framework has been agreed by all Suffolk Local Authority Leaders and the joint Suffolk Growth Portfolio Holders (GP/H).

  • Six Circular Cycle Routes Starting from Thetford
    Six Circular Cycle Routes Starting from Thetford Base map cartography (c) OSM Foundation, CC BY-SA. Map data (c) OpenStreetMap Contributors, ODbL. Thetford Town Circular (10km; town roads and cycleways) A 10km circular route around the town. Mostly on quiet roads and smooth off-road cycleways. There is one 200m section on the A1066, where you could walk along the pavement instead, and one rough section along Joe Blunt’s Lane. High Lodge Loop (25km; quiet roads and forest tracks) From the centre of Thetford, follow Sustrans Route 30 on quiet roads north via Croxton to Santon Downham, then take forest tracks to the High Lodge Forest Centre. Return to Thetford via forest tracks and then alongside the Little Ouse river. Harling Road Loop (33km; quiet roads, one short busier section) From Thetford, take Sustrans Route 13 north to East Wrethem, then cut across via Illington to Harling Road Station. Continue via Roudham to Bridgham, and then return to Thetford along Sustrans Route 30. The route is completely on tarmacked roads. There is one slightly busy section of about 1.5km on the B1111 down to Harling Road. Barnham and Knettishall Loop (40km; quiet roads, one off-road section) Leave Thetford on the new cycleway alongside the A11, and then take the C633 to Barnham. Continue east to Knettishall Heath, and then return following Sustrans Route 13. It’s awkward to get to the start of the A11 cycleway from the town centre, as there is no cycle path along most of London Road. The route is all tarmacked apart from a 2km off-road section along Bridgham Lane.

  • Council Size Proposal for a Future Council for West Suffolk Submitted
    Council Size Proposal for a Future Council for West Suffolk Submitted on behalf of Forest Heath District Council and St Edmundsbury Borough Council In September 2017, Forest Heath District Council (FHDC) and St Edmundsbury Borough Council (SEBC) agreed a business case that supports the formation of a single district-tier Council for West Suffolk. This business case has now been submitted to the Secretary of State, who, under s.15 of the Cities and Local Government Devolution Act 2016, has the power to issue an Order to create the new Council. The business case and associated appendices is available at http://svr-mgov-01:9070/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=3649&Ver=4 That Order will include those ancillary matters necessary to bring the new Council into being. One of the most important aspects is the number of Councillors necessary to operate the new council. Whilst this decision will be made by the Secretary of State, we consider it important that we submit our views, as the current District and Borough Councillors for West Suffolk, on the number of Councillors we believe the future Council should have. This paper covers: - Background to West Suffolk as a place - Background to West Suffolk councils - Forming our argument for council size, including: o The governance arrangements of the council o Regulatory decision making o Scrutiny and oversight arrangements o Responsibility to outside bodies o The representational role of councillors o Views of the residents of West Suffolk o How our argument creates a council size - Conclusion About West Suffolk West Suffolk is a growing area.
