Council bosses, who face the need to make millions of pounds of cuts and savings, have delayed publication of budget proposals.
Norfolk County Council announced in June it was predicting a need to save more than £39m next year – or £47.8m, if council tax was frozen.
Council papers published at the end of last week had been expected to detail the thinking around how those savings could be made - but did not.
The council said it decided to delay publication for a month until after the government's comprehensive spending review and budget on October 27.
Andrew Jamieson, cabinet member for finance at the Conservative-controlled council, said: “There are so many pressures and uncertainties this year that it makes sense to wait till the chancellor gives us some more clarity, before we publish our proposals.
“This is a prudent pause, until a clearer picture emerges. I’d rather put clear proposals forward to our taxpayers, instead of proposals which we then have to change in the light of government announcements."
