Residents asked how £20m of funding should be spent

A questionnaire has been made as part of a consultation

Residents have been asked how £20m should be spent on a town in the next decade.

King's Lynn, in Norfolk, was one of 75 towns to receive funding from the now-defunct Department for Levelling Up.

A consultation has been launched for locals to share their ideas about how the area could be rejuvenated.

Vicky Ethridge, chair of King’s Lynn Town Board, said: "I know there are heaps of opinions out there about things like Debenhams [vacant since May 2020] and the post office and those sorts of things so we're saying please everyone have a look at the questionnaire and fill one in before August 1st."

Vicky Ethridge said she was particularly keen to hear from young people

Councillor Alistair Beales, leader of King's Lynn and West Norfolk Council said: “This additional funding of £20m will help us to realise the town’s potential even further, delivering interventions that can make a tangible difference in King’s Lynn, now, and in the years to come."

The consultation closes on 1st August.
