Key Features
Shaping our Neighbourhood together
The Sudbury Town Neighbourhood Forum is dedicated to addressing the community issues that matter most to our residents. Our commitment is to foster a vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Through active community engagement and comprehensive planning, we aim to tackle the challenges facing our neighbourhood while preserving its unique character and improving the quality of life for all.
Preserving Open Spaces
Our green spaces are vital for recreation, relaxation, and the overall wellbeing of our community. We are committed to preserving and enhancing these areas, ensuring they remain accessible and enjoyable for future generations. Our updated Neighbourhood Plan will include policies to protect these cherished spaces from overdevelopment and neglect.
Enhancing the Public Realm
The quality of our public spaces, such as streets, parks, and community areas, plays a crucial role in creating a welcoming and vibrant neighbourhood. We are focused on improving the public realm by enhancing pedestrian pathways, increasing green spaces, and ensuring that our town is clean and well-maintained. These efforts aim to foster a sense of pride and belonging among residents.
Supporting Local Shops and Services
Sudbury Town’s High Street is the heart of our community, providing essential services and local employment. We aim to support and promote a diverse range of shops and services that cater to the needs of all residents. By encouraging a variety of businesses and controlling the proliferation of betting shops and fast-food outlets, we strive to maintain a balanced and thriving local economy.
Improving Access and Movement
Ensuring that our neighbourhood is easily accessible for everyone is a top priority. We are working on improving pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure, enhancing public transportation options, and addressing parking issues. These initiatives aim to create a more connected and accessible community, reducing reliance on cars and promoting healthier, more sustainable modes of transport.
Promoting Sustainable Development
With the increasing pace of local development, it is crucial to promote sustainable practices that reduce environmental impact. Our updated Neighbourhood Plan will advocate for green building techniques, energy efficiency, and environmentally-friendly transportation options. These measures will help ensure that new developments contribute positively to our community and environment.
Conserving Neighbourhood Character
Sudbury Town is known for its unique historical architecture and vibrant local culture. We are committed to conserving these defining characteristics while allowing for thoughtful and respectful development. Our Plan will include guidelines to ensure that any new buildings or modifications are in harmony with the existing aesthetic and cultural fabric of our neighbourhood.
Addressing these community issues requires the active participation and support of all residents. Here’s how you can get involved:
