Mr B S Glaydon Thetford 19 Policy TH 25 Disagree Mr David Westobt Thetford 19 Policy TH 25 Comment Mr DM Hall Thetford 19 Policy TH 25 Disagree Not in favour of this proposal. The existing bus station should be retained and the facilities modernised. I understand that current plans do not include indoor cover or free access to toilets for waiting passengers. If true, the plan is ridiculous. If Thetford is truly to be a town then any bus interchange should be no less that that at Bury St Edmunds. But why not think big and aim for that at Norwich? The desire for the existing bus facilities that exist within the Bridge Street car park to be improved is noted. However the existing site is constrained, by adjacent buildings (one of which Agree that further consultation on is listed), flood zones (along the river frontage) and by the the new proposed bus interchange existence of a scheduled ancient monument. Without significant and existing riverside site is urgently demolition of buildings the existing facilities can not be improved required in advance of Town Centre to provide a high quality interchange of sufficient capacity to masterplan work to aid local cater for the planned growth and regeneration of the town. If understanding of what is being building demolitions occurred to achieve a suitable site assembly for a new bus interchange the regeneration potential of this important town centre site and the opportunity it provides to significantly enhance the river frontage and wider revival of the town centre would be comprised. proposed and why an alternative option of retaining the existing bus facility is not an appropriate way forward to achieve the regeneration of this key town centre site. The proposals being developed for the new Bus Interchange on land off Minstergate and St Nicholas Street will provide a high quality and covered passenger waiting facilities and public toilets that will be maintained by Thetford Town Council. It is understood that the Town Council does not charge people to use it's public toilets. No further action. The wishes of the people of Thetford are not being ignored.

Mr E Leeder Thetford 19 Policy TH 25 Disagree Mr Ed Chambers Thetford Town Council Norfolk 19 Policy TH 25 Agree Mr G Harwood Thetford 19 Policy TH 25 Disagree Mr J Epton Thetford 19 Policy TH 25 Disagree Mr John Kitson Thetford 19 Policy TH 25 Disagree Absolutely ridiculous.

Supported. That said, the Committee emphasises the need for there to be conveniently located dropping-off points in the central area of the town. The routes taken by local services need to be reviewed, so Support for the new Bus Interchange is noted. The proposals for that re-location of the existing facility does not result in passengers the new interchange, and in particular works to Minstergate/St being inconvenienced by virtue of having to walk further to reach the Nicholas Street, take into account the needs of those using the central shopping area. town bus services. No further action. The proposed new bus interchange is inadequate for a town of this size. It is in the wrong place, it will cause traffic problems and become and safety hazard. Ridiculous suggestion putting pedestrian lives at risk with oncoming buses. If want to incorporate Cosy Carpets building, transfer the town museum into it. I join the chorus of disapproval of the choice of the Minstergate bus station site. Out on a limb from the central area, its approach through the junction of St Nicholas Street and Minstergate, proximity to increasing numbers of shoppers and cramped site entrance, can best be described as unwise, at worst possibly awkward and potentially dangerous. With the apparent demise of the Forum project, an entirely fresh look needs to be taken at Riverside. Bridge Street has historically been the avenue into Thetford town centre right from coach and horse days. If the Anchor is structurally sound then use it as a bus station with proper facilities, waiting rooms, cafe, toilets information tourist centre - even a new home for the Dad's Army centre. Retain and improve the bus circulation by doing away with the grey cottage next to the Chinese restaurant and the first floor link to the Anchor. The proposed new Bus Interchange is of sufficent capacity to cater for the planned growth of the town. The desire for the existing bus facilities that exist within the Bridge Street car park to be improved is noted.
