Time is running out for voters to share their views on proposals for new council ward boundaries across north Norfolk.

A public consultation by the independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England closes on January 30.

The commission's draft recommendations propose that North Norfolk District Council should have 40 councillors in the future - eight fewer than the currently.

The proposals mean councillors would represent seven two-member wards and 26 single-member wards across the district.

Commission chairman Professor Colin Mellors said: 'We are keen to hear local views about our boundary proposals before we finalise them in April.

'We want to make sure ward boundaries across north Norfolk reflect the identities and interests of local communities as well as delivering electoral fairness for voters. 'This is your last chance to have your say before we finalise the recommendations.'
