Initiatives
The Society is represented on the Borough Council’s Conservation Areas Advisory Panel
(CAAP). An example of our input via CAAP and regular meetings with council officers is the
adoption of the new green and gold colour scheme of Hunstanton’s street furniture.
The Society also regularly works with King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council and is
involved with its review of Hunstanton’s conservation area that will be passed to public
consultation. It is concerned with recommending appropriate changes and identifying
elements that should be afforded special protection in the interests of preserving
Hunstanton's Heritage in perpetuity.
