Keep Norfolk Local
The government is considering proposals to abolish local councils within Norfolk and replace them with one or more mammoth, “unitary” councils covering the whole of Norfolk and parts of Suffolk. If any of these proposals were to go ahead, they would lead to the creation of one of the largest unitary councils in Britain.
This council would be a vast and remote bureaucracy – twice the size of Luxembourg – with each councilor serving thousands of electors. It would be impossible for councilors to get to know their local residents. More importantly, it could lead to higher council taxes, lost jobs and reduced services.
