I think alternative ways of working is needed if this bid fails Norwich will be the only city of its size without a voice. Both Exeter and Ipswich were granted unitary status yesterday, both far smaller urban areas. The simple fact is a district council is not the suitable forum for a major regional city. One of the reasons Broadlands council tax is low is they use many facilities in Norwich but don't contribute being underbounded is itself a problem when collecting tax revenue. An additional bonus is we would have a small chance of running this FINE city on extended boundaries something we will probably not manage in the next 50 years otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-18983768024933234322007-07-26T10:35:00.000+01:002007-07-26T10:35:00.000+01:00Just answered the question many people in Broadlan...Just answered the question many people in Broadland have been asking, are Labour doing this for power!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-40371046676337318142007-07-26T10:01:00.000+01:002007-07-26T10:01:00.000+01:00A unitary Broadland-City eh?

If that was the case then the Tories would be in majority control and the City would again be run by the rural Tory landowning clique. For me, Unitary is about the city and only the city. If we sell out and take in chunks of rural Norfolk - i.e. NOT Helles. TSA. Sprowston et al - then I will tear up my Labour membership card.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-972813694195966032007-07-26T08:43:00.000+01:002007-07-26T08:43:00.000+01:00Maybe Broadland Council should launch a Unitary bi...Maybe Broadland Council should launch a Unitary bid on expanded boundaries and take in Norwich. They are a far better council on so many fronts and might even teach the Greens a bit about effective recycling!<BR/><BR/>On a more serious point didn't the DCLG letter to Norwich City Council question 'the reliability of the financial data' So £300,000 spent and the figures don't add up!
