So many people told me during the county elections campaign that they didn’t want the 3 unitary configuration of Local Government Reorganisation.
It carves off South Norfolk 3 ways, pulls Hethersett, Little Melton and Bawburgh into Greater Norwich putting their village identities at risk and creating a much higher council tax demand.
While the other two unitaries are left with the largest cohort of elderly residents (adult social care costs), deprivation, and hundreds of miles of rural roads with very little income to support them.
The biggest business rate income generating areas would all be taken by Norwich.
While unitary councils can be of benefit to communities the governments choice of 3 for Norfolk is plainly wrong. It simply doesn’t meet the criteria it set either in number of residents, keeping district boundaries in place, creating equally financially stable unitaries and ease to set up.
Should we sit back and accept our fate or challenge it? You, the public, had no choice in this, and neither did we as a council. We were told it would happen and had to come up with the best way to divide the county up. 3 unitaries is not it. We put forward an option for 2 with 1 as an acceptable alternative. Never 3.
If it goes ahead we have to live with this decision for decades, at crippling costs to all of us.
We’ve analysed the data and know what this means, Norwich never proved the 3 was financially prudent, there are no figures to support this model, only the data our analysts produced which show it to be a dreadful decision.
