The Borough of Great Yarmouth is a local government district with borough status in Norfolk, England. It is named after its main town, Great Yarmouth.

History

The borough was formed on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, as a merger of the former county borough of Great Yarmouth, along with part of Blofield and Flegg Rural District, and also part of the Lothingland Rural District in East Suffolk.

The amendment to include five parishes from Lothingland RD in Norfolk was made by Anthony Fell, MP for Yarmouth, at committee stage.[2]

In the 2016 Referendum on the issue, 71.5% of Great Yarmouth voted to leave the European Union, the 5th highest such leave vote in the country.

Politics

{{see also|Great Yarmouth local elections}}

Elections to the borough council are held in three out of every four years, with one third of the currently 39 seats on the council being elected at each election.

Historic overall control of council by party group
  • Conservative: 1973 to 1980, 1983 to 1986, 2000 to 2012, 2016 to date
  • Labour:1990 to 2000, 2012 to 2013
  • No overall control by one group of councillors in other years

As of the end of April 2018, councillors have these denominations:[3]

{{party colour|Labour Party (UK)}}{{party colour|Conservative Party (UK)}}{{party colour|UKIP}}{{party colour|independent}}
PartyCouncillors
Labour Party 10
Conservative Party 21
UKIP 5
Tribune Party 2
UK Youth Parliament

Although the UK Youth Parliament is an apolitical organisation, the elections are run in a way similar to that of the Local Elections. The votes come from 11-18 year olds and are combined to make the decision of the next, 2 year Member of Youth Parliament. The elections are run at different times across the country with Great Yarmouth's typically being in early Spring and bi-annually.

The current Member of Youth Parliament for Great Yarmouth is Cameron Hodds MYP[4][5][6].
