One of the three Labour councillors on a Norfolk council has resigned - and her seat will remain vacant until next year's elections.

Breanne Cook, who has represented Sprowston Central on Broadland District Council since 2019, has stepped down citing a "change of personal circumstance".

In her resignation letter to the Labour Party, she said she was moving to north Norfolk for work.

Ms Cook, a former social worker, opened The Pied Wagtail in Holt, a gift and wellbeing shop, earlier this year.

She said in her resignation letter: "It has been a pleasure to serve on Broadland District Council and to serve the residents of Sprowston Central. I wish my successor the best of luck."

Because elections are planned for Broadland District Council in May next year, the council will not hold a by-election before that date.

Her resignation means the political make-up at Conservative-controlled Broadland District Council is now 29 Conservatives, 12 Liberal Democrats two Labour members, two Greens, one independent and one vacancy.
