Over 250 concerned residents descended on Thetford Town Council to voice their concerns over the proposed HMO development in Barnham, but with capacity limited to just 120 people, many were left locked outside. The unprecedented turnout highlights the strength of public feeling surrounding the controversial plans.
This video captures the atmosphere inside and outside the council meeting, the concerns raised by local residents, and the growing debate over HMOs, local infrastructure, community impact, and whether the voices of ordinary people are being heard.
As opposition continues to grow, this meeting could prove to be a significant moment in the future of Barnham and the wider Thetford area.
What do you think?
Are local communities being listened to?
Should developments like this face greater public scrutiny?
Was limiting attendance fair when so many wanted to attend?
