A Message from the
Town Mayor of North Walsham
As Mayor of North Walsham for the past four years, 2019-2023, I am again privileged and honoured
to write the introduction for the latest edition of the Town Guide. On behalf of the Town Council
I offer our heartfelt thanks and sincere appreciation for everyone involved in the collation,
production and publishing of this official guide to North Walsham.
The last year has seen considerable change in the town with huge amounts of regeneration work
and projects being undertaken. The town now has a state of the art bus interchange on New
Road with electronic displays and bespoke bus shelters, the public conveniences on the New
Road carpark have been renovated and a new block built on the Vicarage Road car park. Power
supplies have been installed on the Memorial Park to support events and fairs. The town centre has
been rejuvenated with pedestrian friendly access and limited vehicular movement between 10am
and 4pm. The Market Place has been revitalised with power supplies and benches installed, this
together with the redevelopment of the Church Approach has transformed the town for the better
and reflects its status of being the largest market town in North Norfolk.
We continue to be supported by amazing volunteers that freely give their time and effort in
making the town the success it is. On behalf of the residents of North Walsham I would like to
express our thanks to all of the individuals and groups that contribute to our great town: North
Walsham in Bloom who always brighten up our Town, the Christmas Lights group, North Walsham
Funday, North Walsham Good Neighbours are all pivotal in the success of the town. North Walsham
Play have successfully completed the new Skatepark and play equipment on the Trackside park
and provided facilities for the youth that are second to none. The Phoenix Group has started
its program of providing youth and community projects and will also undoubtedly contribute
amazing facilities to the youth of North Walsham.
This guide is packed with useful information, articles and contact numbers, and lists local
businesses and facilities. It is a reflection of the community spirit and efforts that people put into
making North Walsham such a great place to live.
