When talking about what the next five years hold for Norwich, we asked people what they love about this place. Consistently, there were shared feelings that resonated deeply with me, especially the profound feeling of home. Norwich offers all the advantages of city living while nurturing a genuine and unique sense of belonging. It’s where my roots are, and where I’ve chosen to call home.
I hope everyone shares this bond with Norwich, however I am acutely aware many among us live markedly different lives. Too many residents are grappling with making ends meet, managing their health and feeling connected within our community, and are sometimes therefore missing out on what Norwich has on offer. It is within our collective ability to transform Norwich into the best possible place for everyone.
Our five-year plan has been designed with you, reflecting your hopes, your ideas, and your joint commitment to making Norwich a great place. By committing to your priorities, we are agreeing on a singular path forward towards a future Norwich where everyone belongs, and everyone benefits.
We hope you will join us in this effort. Together we can make Norwich a place that everyone can thrive in.
Cllr Mike Stonard
Leader of Norwich City Council
