REALISTIC REEPHAM
Campaigning on behalf of our residents to keep Reepham special

Reepham is a special place…
We believe that any development in our lovely town should be appropriate and sustainable
Realistic Reepham was formed in 2011 to give residents a voice: we are ordinary people who live here and want to see Reepham thrive. Our intention is to promote awareness of the huge changes that threaten our beautiful Georgian town and surrounding countryside and landscapes, which once destroyed will be gone forever. We're not against new housing, but do oppose huge and unnecessary development on the scale being proposed.
We are in favour of realistic and sustainable development that will provide economic, social and environmental benefits that are consistent with the local character of the town and surrounding landscape.
We support building a smaller number of houses on existing brownfield sites or other suitable areas within the existing settlement limit, based on the views of the Town Council, residents, traders, local businesses and community groups.
