If this was for the public's benefit, wouldn't there be infrastructure built that would enable less travel. If it was for control, then cameras and restrictions would be created. It is obviously the latter.

26 mins in,good idea but breckland council will f off with the money and use it on the councillors own villages.

glyn, you come across as a good chap. the plan is a pretty picture abeit from a helicopter. the residents of thetford have time and time again been screwed over by breckland council and flagship. i would urge caution if you are trying to build your reputation and are banking on these guys to deliver. it could well cause you reputationable damage.

14 minutes people dump things there as breckland council thought it would be a good idea to charge people to use the local dump. then they can't work out why it costs more to to clear up the flytipping.

11 minutes in promoting sport and leisure. the local tennis club closed years ago, a charity owns the land all it needed was maintenance. thetford town hockey club is about to close. breckland council is selling it down the river.

9 minutes in. this is laughable, you can't get to the forest as there is a main dual carriageway there. the bloke has never walked around there 😂😂😂

6 minutes in. peoples lives shouldn't be decided by you winning a competition glyn. peoples lives are not trophies. they are human beings. you don't live in thetford, there is nothing for you to lose, it doesn't effect you or your family but everything to gain for yourself.

The guy talking about the abbey estate is an utter moron, clearly clueless and clearly doesn't live on the abbey , have spent 4 decades here he clearly is wrong on just about every level, The community will be destroyed when you displace and add 50% to it !!!! We don't want the shitty *links* We drive because we need too, this rediculous plan has negatives and losses to many *many* people this is being inflicted on , we don't want this, we keep saying it and it's being done DESPITE NOT WITH the residents... ...

Hi Hugh and team I'm a consultant flood risk assessor and would like to say that these slides are just what are needed so as to allow all LPA's to achieve consistency in their approach to FRA reports across England - thanks. I have some comments: The first comment I'd like to make is in relation to the suggested Condition at 38:43 on the video. You are indeed wholly correct in respect to the six tests under NPPF:56 (which many LPA officers are not as it happens) however points 3 and 5 (flood proofing and emergency planning) while I agree are 100% required these items, I'd suggest, are not currently enforceable (being one of the six tests) under the T&CP Act. Flood proofing measures: There is no possible way for a LPA to "in practice, detect a contravention" and furthermore, the only information of such measures is currently no more than the Government's "General Advice" as per the widely cited "Improving the flood performance of new buildings" and Ciria guidance. It don't believe it to be possible to enforce "general advice" or "guidance". This is however controlled under the Building Act 1984, as amended by Section 40 FWM Act 2010, making it not "Relevant to Planning". Hence, I'd suggest Point 3 actually fails the NPPF:56 tests and could not be lawfully applied. Emergency planning (flood plans and text services etc): Again, I fully agree with the rationale here and always recommend such measures however, as with the last point, such measure cannot be enforced under the T&CP Act hence Point 5 would also fail the six tests. A LPA could not, in practice, detect a contravention. I'm not wholly convinced that Point 4 could be enforced under the T&CP Act either. There is no contravention possible when part of that which is sought ("Precisely") is "identification" and also there is no lawful definition of "safe haven" in respect to the T&CP Act. I have found very subjective definitions as to what qualifies as "safe" haven - and there lies the problem, all too subjective. Points 3, 4 & 5 should be only an informative on any Approval in my opinion. And a point regarding LLFA's: My understanding is that these currently have no "Authority" whatsoever on Minor or Non-major development. They are empowered only as Statute consultees in respect to the T&CP Act on Major development with surface water drainage implications (as of 15th March 2015) so as to provide "technical advice" - but have no powers in respect to fluvial flood risk for such applications. Any comments currently made by a LLFA to a LPA in respect to flood related matters where they have no lawful Authority can be nothing more than requests rather than Requirements. All to often I see comments where a LLFA "Requires that...." on Minor or Non-major development. On such developments the LLFA officers are no more than the FRM team or similar offering guidance only. Finally, on the last point of freeboard. +600mm is without question where single storey sleeping accommodation is required. However, the issue arises with variations to this in many a SFRA, with some SFRA very out of date. These do however form part of the Evidence Base for an application to be assessed against and it's therefore a very hard win to get a developer to raise more than the +300mm typically cited in the SFRA reports. Personally, I think such reference to freeboard should be removed from all future SFRA reports and placed wholly within PPG, for consistency sake if nothing more.

Very interesting. Fiance and I bought in 2021 near the stow. I wasnt too familiar with Harlow being an Enfield native, but its fascinating to the such history around our new home.

Henry Moores 'The Family' - now in the Civic Centre was placed there because vandel youths kept lnocking off the heads. However, though its now safe from vandelism its not being seen from the way Moore wanted it to be seen. Yes, it looks great close up but Moore wanted it to be seen from 100 / 200 yards away. Sadly this isnt possible due to the barbarian vandels in the town.

Very interesting little film…My parents relocated to Harlow in 1960 when I was 10 years old….I went to Latton bush school and left home in 1968 with 10 O levels and 2 A levels to make my own way in the world……I have nothing but admiration and fond memories for the planners a creators of Harlow New Town. Almost all my friends lived in Council housing which for its time was excellent…. The schools ,environment, shopping and public amenities were very good indeed. It was such a tradgedy that this excellent social model was un picked in the 80’s during the massive sell off of “council housing” …if some of that early ethos has survived and is now being nurtured that is excellent news!

You lot talk a load of gobbkedy gook!! Hoping to bore everyone into dis interest. You have meetings about meetings and use a liad if unnecessary words. You don't actually explain anything ot say what is important - so what about cars? Driving? Are you going to close roads and restrict driving? We don't want 15 minute neighbourhoods!! We want freedom to come abd go as we please! We don't want yo stick to our lical area for all our need. You lot need sacking

We will not comply. We will never ever let you imprison us like this. You know where you can shove your 15 mimite city

Shocking, that this agenda is even pushed....no thanks i do not consent 👊🏾

It's part of the world economic forum's great reset plan, the ultimate plan of claus himmler mengler schwarbs and bill gates is to deplete the world's population to 1 billion consisting of Chinese and Japanese people as they are used to being controlled this is going to be done by introducing viruses proxy wars and restrictions on utilities and this comes from a page of claus himmler mengler schwarbs industrial revolution great reset plan

I hope you consult people, because the implications of this agenda it's part of claus himmler mengler schwarbs 4th industrial revolution world economic forum's great reset plan for total population control and enslavement alough it sounds good what is next is central bank digital currency which will be used to control what you do say and what you do and spend on and will be stopped if you say or do anything they dislike carbon credits social credit score and meat made from insects and vegetable protein

2:09 So you're anticipating more lockdowns! Speechless.

If you want to constrain people to a zone, provide the functionality inside the zone, so they don't want to leave. As the zone gradually improves, people will tend to use it. Don't just block it off FFS... If you need to block off anything, you have failed already. Even if the council planners are right (they are very wrong), and their plans are carried out perfectly (this is impossible except in a powerpoint presentation), the zones will be full of problems, and anomalies. These can be addressed, and if their theory is sound, then gradually a 15min zone may develop(maybe). Yes that would be nice, but the fact that these planners cannot see that, and the only way they can think of to get it to slightly work it to lock people in demonstrates the whole concept is a failure. Just blocking everything off from day one will engender mistrust, pushback and ultimately failure. This has been a half baked series of dubious ideas from the beginning.

We don’t want it. We are not at all interested. You’re going to burn on Hell for your involvement.

What a joke. They engage with 750 people across the Borough every year and think that gives them a representation of the residents views of the Council. What a deluded bunch of 💩💩💩💩

We seem to have a bunch of eco nutjobs running our Council. Their ideas and data is complete BS. This is about control and taking away our freedom to travel, not environment improvement. If the UK sank into the sea tomorrow it would have negligible impact on climate change. These people pushing their ideas in the Town Hall are totally out of touch with the Boroughs residents.

Will you be stopping movement?

Why is this the first I have heard of this

It underpins the removal of the right to freedom of movement. In a single word: Control. Ordinary people give up their rights while the oligarchy fly their private jets. Funny that the proposed solutions never effect the elite, no?

They are trying to isolate you and take your freedoms a little bit at a time. Read the book 1984. It’ll all make sense.

Nobody is excited about these proposals. There will be a revolution.

you all need to start warning these councilors they work for us ,, vote them out at the next elections ,,,,,,,,,,,

you keep saying "we " do you speak for all the residents or just those enforcing the restrictions on us all ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Garden cities were an apparent success, in their time. However, society has changed very significantly over the intervening years, and what was relevant and workable around a century ago is not appropriate today without very fundamental changes to every bodies lifestyles. Much as many of us would love to wind the clock back it is a pipe dream. To attempt to retrospectively apply these principles to current well established communities is lunacy.

COP? You mean that meeting where 1000's of the worlds richest people all fly their private jets and limousines to tell us we have to reduce Carbon or we will all die? Hmmm... what's that smell? Oh right, it's bullshit

Have they gone insane every person in uk will be against this

Hell no I will not live in Nazi Germany

These the kind of people that will help you till it kills you

Sounds like a Dystopian nightmare to me!!! You’ll enjoy yourselves and live heathy lives …..in exactly the way we till you too. Does No one else see the madness of these climate change zealots?

Where is webinar forest and do the townsfolk know what you are doing?

Why are you people doing this? No one believes in it or wants it. You must be very thick skinned.

I presume you have first consulted this area and got a feel for whether this what the people of this area want?

How generous that we'll be getting 20 minute neighbourhoods instead of 15 minute cities in the communist people's Republic of Victoria! A concentration camp without barbed wire fences where the barbed wire is actually in the cameras that watch your every move! Satan is working overtime at the moment!

There is no climate crisis. Getting to Net Zero by 2050 would cost $9.2 trillion a year globally (McKinsey). That's not going to be good value for money. That's nearly one-tenth of global GDP. That money would be better spent on a myriad of things including educating the fifth of humanity who are illiterate and represent a 7% annual loss to the world's economy. Any country that attempts it will be indebted or impoverished. Example: For the UK to reach net zero by electrification of its transport fleet and heating system, it will require a tripling (as a minimum) of its current electrical generation capacity among other things. This will essentially require the UK consuming all of the current global supply of copper and other rare metals for the next 25 years. The cost will be unaffordable and the skilled manpower levels unattainable. And that is just to eliminate the 1% of the global CO2 emissions that the UK is responsible for. So times that by 100 for the Earth. Imagine the damage done from all that resource extraction! And for what? Maddeningly, there is no climate crisis. The Earth was warmer in the recent and distant past.

Places are not interested, it’s the WEF who are telling you lot what to do.

I will not comply. Never

You 4 panelists are out of your fricking minds, I for one don't fall for anything you all are saying, you 4 have hidden Agendas and are not telling the whole truth are Yous? I hear something more sinister is hidden behind the nice talk, and who the hell are yous to even dictate what people can do, where they can go, and how far, and you, Iain White, I will request an interview with you to discuss this matter. I live in Hamilton New Zealand, born and breed here, I disagree with your decision.

And no survey was done, and we didn’t know any funding from us the tax payers was put to this, nor were we told about the 3 suburbs and their trial.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tF5spyudTYA.html This video explains why we don’t want it and perhaps why the world doesn’t and maybe even a better solution to the “climate change” issue… 1 quick win could be all the leaders of the world, the UN and every other person and organization claiming to care - STOP USING YOUR PRIVATE JETS! They’re actually the number one issue preventing the environment to start stabilizing.

This is not what the people of Victoria want

Just a great shame that developers are building high rise dense tower blocks in Welwyn Garden City ruining the town, the ethos and our beautiful garden city

Thank you for this Graham 👍🙏🙏
