Local Fire Safety Support for a Growing Essex Market Town
Great Dunmow combines its historic market-town character with continuing residential and commercial development. The town centre around the High Street contains independent shops, restaurants, public houses and professional businesses, while community buildings and local services support a growing population. Historic and older properties can sit alongside more recently constructed developments, meaning the layout, construction and fire safety arrangements can vary considerably from one premises to another.
The wider Great Dunmow area includes locations such as Great Easton, Little Dunmow and Takeley, with its proximity to Stansted Airport also contributing to local employment and commercial activity.
