The public have had its say on plans to bring a cinema and new restaurants to Great Yarmouth town centre.

Among the suggestions put forward in the borough council's masterplan are for a multiplex and leisure complex on part of the King Street car park and to move the market further north in the market place, creating a new event and performance space.

Over the three-week consultation on the draft plan the council received about 140 responses – double that received during the initial consultation.

'The draft Masterplan illustrates how Great Yarmouth's unique and historic central spaces can evolve over the coming years to strengthen the whole town centre as a commercial and cultural hub, meeting the needs and aspirations of communities and the challenges all town centres face,' he said.

'This important Masterplan is by no means finalised and the borough council would like to thank everyone who took part in the consultation on the draft. All of the feedback is valuable and we are pleased that so many individuals and organisations have kindly shared their views and insights,' he added.

The council is currently collating the consultation responses, which will be considered by councillors and officers as work continues to shape the final vision.
