Yours South Lynn is East Anglia's Millennium Community. Many of the principles being piloted by the programme have become a part of the ideas contained in the UK government's Sustainable Communities Plan.

What is a Home Zone?

The Home Zone concept was pioneered in the 1970s in the Netherlands. Since then many countries have successfully transferred the core concepts and created their own safe areas.
Home Zones are an attempt to strike a balance between vehicular traffic and everyone else who uses the street - pedestrians, cyclists, business people and residents.

What was the land previously used for?
