Norfolk announced as priority area for new powers and funding Norfolk is set to receive new powers and funding following a Government announcement, with the County being a key focus for devolution and local government reform. Ministers are aiming for a devolution deal that covers both Norfolk and Suffolk, including the creation of an elected mayor. They also plan to replace the existing "two-tier" system, where key services are shared between county and district councils, with unitary authorities. For more details on the story so far, including the Government's devolution white paper and answers to frequently asked questions from the Local Government Association, visit www.norfolk.gov.uk/devolution. You can also watch our video explaining devolution and local government reform. In addition, we have responded to the Government request for an ‘Interim Submission’ of our views for Local Government Reorganisation.  The link to this is:​
