Local government in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk is expected to be re-organised in 2026/27.  City and Borough Councils will be abolished and a structure set up which will create three authorities – one each for the south, middle and north of the area.  Each of the three will have its own Chief Executive and there will be a Mayor for Essex who will have control of the Local Plan.
