MULBARTON

August 2024

​​​

South Norfolk Council, working in collaboration with Mulbarton Parish Council, were recently successful in achieving funding, through an application to the Pride in Place Community Grant, to commission a feasibility study to look at the community facilities in Mulbarton and specifically the various uses of the village hall site.
This work will investigate the current challenges and benefits of the site, understand and document the current and future needs, wants and issues for user groups/ the local community and consequently consider various options for the site, including potential operating models and recommended facility mixes and building provision.
An important part of the feasibility work is to consult with local user groups and organisations, as well as the wider community. Your views and feedback are an important element of this work and we would like to invite you to provide your views via a short online questionnaire, which should take less than 5 minutes to complete. A link to the questionnaire is provided below. Please click on this link to complete the survey:
We very much hope that you will take the time to contribute to this study by completing the survey, which will remain open until 2 September 2024.
