In July 2018, both South Norfolk and Broadland Councils agreed to move forward with a collaborative partnership. On 2 January 2019, our two teams became a single paid service and we continue to move towards becoming one officer team, serving two autonomous Councils.
Our staff are committed to providing high quality, customer-focused services by working efficiently and in partnership.
Our Corporate Management Leadership Team includes our Managing Director and Directors. They support elected Members to set the strategic direction of South Norfolk Council and Broadland Council and ensure we can continue to provide services that lie at the heart of our communities and that matter locally to you.
