Anyone interested in making a leap into local politics can find out if they've got what it takes at an upcoming information session.

North Norfolk District Council is hosting the event to let prospective candidates know about the difference they can make to communities, and tell them about the council's varied work in housing, licensing, economic development, tourism, culture, health, environment, coast and electoral services.
