Broadland, Administrative district in Norfolk, England
The district of Broadland spans 552 square kilometers north and east of Norwich, incorporating a network of inland waterways and fertile agricultural lands.
Established in 1974 through the Local Government Act 1972, Broadland merged sections of the former Blofield, Flegg, St Faith's, and Aylsham Rural Districts.
The district maintains 65 civil parishes, each with local councils managing community affairs and organizing traditional Norfolk celebrations throughout the year.
The Horizon Centre at Broadland Business Park serves as the headquarters for the district council, which operates under a coalition of Liberal Democrats, Labour, and Greens.
In 2013, Broadland received recognition as the locality with the lowest violent crime rate across the United Kingdom.
