Norfolk County Council Local Member Fund
Norfolk County Council's Local Member Fund is a scheme
that provides each elected councillor with an annual pot of money to
spend on small highways and environmental projects in their
division. The scheme started in 2017-18 with annual allocation of
£6,000 per councillor for highways projects. In 2021-22, the
allocation was increased to £10,000 and the remit of the
scheme was widened to also include environmental projects. In
2023-24 the allocation was increased again to £11,000.
Thetford is covered by two Norfolk County Council Divisions:
Thetford East and Thetford West. Each Division has a single elected
Norfolk County Councillor. Details of how they have spent their Local
Member Fund allocations over the past years are given below.
