Local Government Reorganisation

Contribution

It is apparent to absolutely everyone that this local government reform is now a shambolic, incompetent mess. I just want to put on record how much time, as well as money, has been spent by councillors and council officials right across Norfolk, where this has been a massive, monumental distraction, not for months, but for years. The independent Local Government Association says: “There is no excuse for the Government’s mishandling of this process.” Does the Secretary of State agree?
