Setting the scene
Sustainable Diss 2030 Chapter 2 Setting the scene
Download the booklet (1 Mbyte) and its cover, including map, here.
This section, from pages 6 – 10 of the booklet, gives an overview of a sustainable Diss in 2030, under the headings:
- Historic town centre
- Diss Sustainability Park
- Diss Eco-industrial estate
It explains how the transition to sustainability came about, not through enlightenment but through necessity. It explains how a renewed sense of community enabled people to live reasonable lives with much less energy use and much less money.
After reading the booklet, please vote in our polls giving your view of the main points, and then add your comments below.

The ’setting the scene’ section starts to sketch out sustainable living in a future Diss, which is much less consumerist (lots of used and second hand goods), much more social and cultural, and much more sound environmentally.
