“Thank you very much for your document on Great Yarmouth on which I congratulate you. It reads and looks very well. Despite the challenges that your paper rightly identifies, Great Yarmouth has some splendid buildings, and the sensitive refurbishment of those can do nothing but good for the town ”

kind words from those we have already inspired…
“What a breath of stimulating air […] impressive ideas.
One point […] moving cast iron sheds (Winter Gardens) is not an impossible issue and I have been involved in several like the Floral Hall of Covent Garden. One recent move was of a listed shed at Brooklands Museum. The Winter Garden at Great Yarmouth has already been shifted from Torquay. But I sense Gt. Y needs far more than a restored Winter Garden to draw in people tomorrow. St Austell did this well with the Eden Project 30 years ago but what is the next big idea. Perhaps an interactive new centre for how we are to eat in the future.
And what can the dynamic new economy of Cambridge do for Gt. ?”

“Brilliant … it captures your passion and vision. I really like ‘Catch the Tide’ which acts as an appealing exhortation. A very compelling read and v best luck with it – not half as bonkers as I first surmised. Congratulations”

“My personal belief is that VR will thrive in the next ten years and has the largest potential for growth with companies moving to remote working. All of those sectors you mention will have massive growth in the next ten years and having Yarmouth turn into a thriving tech hub would be the best thing that ever happened for it. The people there are definitely smart enough, if there is work available for them there then that might also encourage people to stay there or even return there after University. I think with the cost of London always increasing and the new wave of house price increases, you will get more and more students returning to their homelands after university and in Norfolk the houses are affordable so having jobs available too would genuinely encourage growth.”
