'''King's Lynn and West Norfolk''' is a [[Non-metropolitan district|local government district]] with [[Borough status in the United Kingdom|borough status]] in [[Norfolk]], England. Its council is based in the town of [[King's Lynn]]. The district also includes the towns of [[Downham Market]] and [[Hunstanton]], along with numerous villages and surrounding rural areas. The population of the district at the 2021 census was 154,325.<ref>{{cite web |date=2022-06-28 |title=How the population changed in King's Lynn and West Norfolk: Census 2021 |url=https://www.ons.gov.uk/visualisations/censuspopulationchange/E07000146/ |access-date=2023-08-28 |work=ONS |publisher=Office for National Statistics}}</ref>

Part of the borough lies within the [[Norfolk Coast AONB|Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty]]. The borough lies on the coast, facing both [[The Wash]] to the west and the [[North Sea]] to the north. The neighbouring districts are [[North Norfolk]], [[Breckland District|Breckland]], [[West Suffolk District|West Suffolk]], [[East Cambridgeshire]], [[Fenland District|Fenland]] and [[South Holland District|South Holland]].

==History==
The district was created on 1 April 1974 under the [[Local Government Act 1972]], covering seven former districts which were all abolished at the same time:<ref>{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The English Non-metropolitan District (Definition) Order 1972|year=1972|number=2039|access-date=17 November 2023}}</ref>

*[[Downham Rural District]]
*[[Freebridge Lynn Rural District]]
*[[Hunstanton]] Urban District
*[[King's Lynn]] [[Municipal Borough]]
*[[Marshland Rural District]]
The new district was initially named "West Norfolk" reflecting its position in the wider county.<ref>{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The English Non-metropolitan Districts (Names) Order 1973|year=1973|number=551|access-date=31 May 2023}}</ref> The district was awarded borough status on 30 January 1981, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor. The name of the borough was changed later that year, becoming "King's Lynn and West Norfolk" with effect from 14 May 1981.<ref>{{cite book |title=Alteration of Areas and Status of Local Authorities 1980–1982 |date=1982 |publisher=Department of the Environment |location=London |pages=9–10 |url=https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20221201180331mp_/https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/lgbce/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/11373/bulletin80-82.pdf |access-date=8 December 2023}}</ref>

The Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk provides [[Non-metropolitan district|district-level]] services. [[Non-metropolitan county|County-level]] services are provided by [[Norfolk County Council]]. Much of the borough is also covered by [[civil parish]]es, which form a third tier of local government.<ref>{{cite legislation UK|type=act|act=Local Government Act 1972|year=1972|chapter=70|access-date=31 May 2023}}</ref><ref name=electionmaps>{{cite web |title=Election Maps |url=https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/election-maps/gb/ |publisher=Ordnance Survey |access-date=21 September 2023}}</ref>

===Political control===
The council has been under [[no overall control]] since the [[2023 King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council election|2023 election]], being run by a coalition of most of the independent councillors, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens with informal support from Labour.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Johnston |first1=Kris |title=Independent councillor Terry Parish named new leader of West Norfolk Council at 2023 annual meeting |url=https://www.lynnnews.co.uk/news/new-era-ushered-in-as-independents-take-control-of-council-9313424/ |access-date=6 December 2023 |work=Lynn News |date=19 May 2023}}</ref>

The first election to the council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority alongside the outgoing authorities until the new arrangements took effect on 1 April 1974.

;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 elections are run at different times across the country with King's Lynn and West Norfolk's typically being in early Spring and bi-annually.

===Premises===
