Plans to give Norfolk and Suffolk greater powers have been scrapped by the new government.

Ministers say the devolution deal agreed with the last government was not ambitious enough.

Under the plans, both counties would have received between 16 m and 20 m a year to spend on infrastructure and other projects.

News has been greeted with fury by council leaders with one calling it a 'slap in the face'.
