Reepham might look pretty on a postcard but the reality is that it is poorly-served by public transport and remote from employment centres. Any future developments sanctioned in the town will only add to the use of cars. Although it has basic infrastructure, the doctors' surgery and schools are over-stretched with no apparent prospect of expansion in the foreseeable future. It makes no sense to the local community for councillors to be considering allocating additional site for housing estates in the town when there are already two large committed sites which have yet to be progressed in any meaningful way.
