West Norfolk will be a unitary authority area scheduled to be created in Norfolk, England, as part of ongoing local government reform. It will be formed from three existing districts: Breckland, King's Lynn and West Norfolk, and part of South Norfolk.[1] The first councillors will be elected in the 2027 West Norfolk Council election in May 2027, and the new authority will assume full powers in April 2028.[2]
