Guide for prospective councillors
Overview of services
Norfolk County Council is the local authority for Norfolk. We provide a wide range of services for people who live, work, do business or visit here. These include Children's Services (such as schools), Adult Social Services, Highway Maintenance, Waste Disposal, Libraries, Museums, Fire and Rescue, Economic Development, Trading Standards and Public Health. Most of these services are provided entirely by the County Council and Councillors have full decision-making powers over them. In some cases, for instance, museums and some highways matters, we act in co-operation and by consulting others.
As a prospective candidate, the County Council Plan will be of interest to you. The Plan contains key information about the Council's objectives, how we resource and deliver them, and how we are performing.
