Norwich City Council members have voted in favour of pursuing unitary status as part of the Government’s efforts to reorganise local government.

The leaders of the council’s political parties unanimously voted to ‘support the creation of a new unitary authority for the Norwich urban area’.

The council will now commission the development of a business case for a new unitary authority, which would be submitted to the Government for consideration.

In a joint statement, the leaders said the move was an opportunity to ‘develop and drive’ investment and growth and provide better services for residents.

The leaders of three councils in Lincolnshire have also proposed reducing the number of local authorities in the county as part of the Government's reorganisation drive.
