Fakenham Town Centre Enhancement

High-quality natural materials and fine detailing encourage people to linger in Fakenham Town Centre's market square. Designed by North Norfolk District Council.

A quietly understated redevelopment of a small Norfolk market town square, this town centre enhancement is an integrated scheme which highlights the best of the town's character, in particular the fine buildings surrounding the market place and square.

This successful scheme has eliminated street clutter and installed surfaces which despite their variety and block size, are smooth underfoot and do not present problems for walkers, children in buggies, disabled or elderly people or cyclists.

Extensive seating positioned to catch the sun, trees, artwork, numerous well signed pedestrian routes through the area and lack of litter all contribute to an attractive, convenient and comfortable environment for shoppers and residents of all ages.

It is a place where they can linger safely, have informal meetings and conversations, relax, and where young people can also meet and skateboard.
