Market Place Dereham
In September 2025, Norfolk County Council asked for your feedback on proposed improvements to Dereham's Market Place. The aim of the scheme is to improve how buses serve the town, including the capacity, safety and accessibility of the busy bus stops, as well as reducing congestion in the town centre area for everyone. These changes will make it easier for people to cross the Market Place and reach shops, amenities, and bus services.
The consultation is now closed. View the outcome of the consultation.
Next steps
The works are planned to take place from 12 January 2026 and are expected to take 10 weeks to complete, weather permitting. Read full details of the work being carried out.
