The final plans for Norfolk electoral boundary changes will see thousands of people waking up in new or renamed wards.
The three areas that will see the most radical changes are Melton Constable in North Norfolk, Fincham in West Norfolk - both of which will no longer exist - and Hethersett in South Norfolk, which will be in a new ward.
Other areas will see bits split off into other wards, for example, North Walsham West and Erpingham would be split, with North Walsham West combine with Mundesley and a separate Erpingham ward.

From getting the controversial Norwich Northern Distributor Road Western Link built, to helping drive the county s recovery as the impact of coronavirus eases, Conservative leader Andrew Proctor said voters had put their trust in his party to deliver.
And he said that one of the key issues in his in-tray is to make sure Norfolk does not miss out on government money to the so-called red wall areas in the north of England - when it comes to the government s levelling up agenda.
