Future Norfolk
Government to implement three unitary model in Norfolk
In March 2026, the Government confirmed that it wishes to proceed with the three unitary model for Norfolk. This means that, from April 2028, the current, county, district, city, and borough councils will be replaced with three new unitary authorities - East Norfolk, West Norfolk, and Greater Norwich. This is the proposal backed by the Future Norfolk partnership of local district councils.
