JOINT STATEMENT ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT REORGANISATION (10th June 2025)
A joint statement issued by six councils in Norfolk, including King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council.
“Our comprehensive vision for a three-unitary model for the county will deliver significant benefits for our communities — including improved public service outcomes, enhanced local economic growth, and stronger democratic representation.
“Naturally, we need some time to fully review the figures and assumptions made in today’s report and we are committed to working collaboratively with Government, local partners, and communities to shape a model that is both ambitious and achievable.
“We do not agree that a single unitary approach is best for Norfolk as, by contrast, our ‘three’ model would enable a tailored approach to local economies and housing, recognising the distinct characteristics and needs of each area. We believe it is important to maintain the strength of local democracy by ensuring decision-making is made by elected officials closely connected to their communities, celebrate the unique strengths of different areas and provide services which best meet those local needs, and ensure the organisations providing services are sustainable and adaptable to the emerging needs of tomorrow.
“Our proposal puts Norfolk people and places at the heart of local services while also being financially strong.”
