Thanks to the Government, North Norfolk had to spend £600,000 on Local Government Reorganisation...
...and now they've changed their mind.
So, Secretary of State: where's our £600,000⁉️

Settle a debate between my wife and I - who’s more famous:
Stephen King
Or
JK Rowling
Importantly - it’s not who you like more, the question is; who’s more famous?
