What will happen to jobs if the Secretary of State implements new unitary councils in Norfolk?
It is too early to say. A change to any pattern of unitary government will mean new staffing structures. In previous reorganisations roughly 85 per cent of all staff have transferred automatically to a new council, and have carried on doing the same job. Those jobs which are most at risk tend to be the most senior roles – especially those of chief executives, directors and other senior managers, We have been working closely with UNISON to prepare. The city council will be seeking to ensure maximum protection and ease of transfer for all staff.
