The Government has directed that all counties throughout the country must transition to a single tier of local governance.  Norfolk have both a County level and District level councils and must move to a single Unitary Authority Council.  There is a demanding timescale for the change.  The reorganisation will undoubtedly bring challenges but will hopefully streamline the governance process and put local people more in control of local matters.

​

The proposal is that Norfolk and Suffolk will combine as a single Strategic Authority with an elected Mayor.  Each County would then consist of one or more Unitary Authorities.  The structure of these authorities is under discussion.
