A decade-long cross-county partnership could be over if plans are approved at a council meeting later this month.
Since 2010, Breckland District Council and South Holland District Council in Lincolnshire have shared services and a chief executive, despite being 50 miles apart.
At a meeting of Breckland cabinet on Monday, plans for the future of the partnership were outlined, with ending the arrangement and seeking a new local partner being the preferred outcome.
No indication was given of who the new local partner could be.
Councillor Sam Chapman-Allen, leader of the Breckland council, told the cabinet they had been put in this position due to a combination of the pandemic and the departure of the previous chief executive, Anna Graves, last year.
