The town has already made its views very clear on the bus station<br />
issue. Just listen and understand the depth of feeling.<br />
Leave the bus station where it is and model it on a decent on such<br />
as Mildenhall. Keep the open aspect down by the river.<br />
I am a user of the coaches and buses and I am opposed to the<br />
relocation of the bus station to Minstergate because of the confusion<br />
it will cause the traffic travelling on London Road. I live in Earl's<br />
Street and it takes me 5 minutes or more to get out of the street.<br />
Have you made a study of this?<br />
Stupid place to put a bus station. Most of the people I know or have<br />
spoken to want the Anchor incorporated into a new bus station that<br />
we can be proud of. Listen to the residents of Thetford for once<br />
please.<br />

An assessment has been completed in support of the proposed<br />
Bus Interchange on land off Minstergate and St Nicholas Street.<br />
The assessment shows that the new facility will not adversely<br />

The desire to have a bus interchange that the people of Theford<br />
can be proud of is noted and is something that the project team<br />
working on delivering the new facility on land off Minstergate / st<br />
Nicholas Street seek to achieve. The desire for the existing bus<br />
facilities that exist within the Bridge Street car park to be<br />
improved is noted. However the existing site is constrained, by Agree that further consultation on<br />

I have read that there has been some local opposition to the<br />
proposed move of the bus station. However, for the reasons given in<br />
the draft plan, a move to the Minstergate area seems entirely<br />
sensible. I therefore support this proposal. Support for the new Bus Interchange is noted. No further action.
