Government is committed to delivering a devolution deal to every area which wants one by 2030 – because we know how transformative empowered local leadership can be.

We have been working closely with leaders in Norfolk since the signing of the £600 million Norfolk County Deal. I would like to take this opportunity to commend Council Leader Kay Mason Billig for her continued efforts to secure the best possible deal for Norfolk and its residents.
