GTDP Community Sub-Group
The GTDP Community Sub-Group was part of the Greater Thetford Development Partnership — an advisory body set to oversee the Thetford Sustainable Extension and other developments in the Town. Despite the GTDP having no formal powers, it is likely to have a lot of influence over the direction of the upcoming developments in Thetford. No local community groups are directly represented on the Board, and instead their input comes via a Community Sub-Group, whose chairman sat as a non-voting member of the main Board. The Sub-Group was disbanded by the GTDP Board in July 2019.
The Community Sub-Group comprised one representative from each of the three local parish and town councils (Thetford, Croxton, and Brettenham & Kilverstone), a representative from the Thetford Business Forum, and four co-opted community representatives. These representatives were selected from an open application process in February 2016.
