The shifting balance of power at North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) is up for review at a full council meeting.

Tonight's (Wednesday, November 15) gathering at NNDC's main offices in Holt Road, Cromer, is the first full meeting of the council since the latest resignations from the council's ruling Conservative Party group.

All together eight councillors have left the Tory team lead by Tom FitzPatrick since June, the latest being Simon Hester, ward councillor for Priory.

However, following the resignations - many of which were made due to concerns over leadership - the council now consists of 24 Conservatives, 17 Lib Dems and seven members of a newly formed Independents group.

This shifting balance of power means the council has to re-allocated positions on committees and working groups to make sure they are politically balanced.

Among the councillors expected at tonight's meeting is Douglas Smith, who represents Sheringham North ward, despite having moved to Tunbridge Wells in Kent at the end of August.
