A major shake-up of local councils in Norfolk and Suffolk is a "once in a generation" chance to secure money to breathe new life into rivers and to restore nature, charity bosses say.

Nature organisations say the creation of new councils and a mayor for the two counties needs to go hand in hand with cash and powers to protect habitats at risk and to clean up rivers.

Bosses at Norfolk Wildlife Trust, Suffolk Wildlife Trust, Norfolk Rivers Trust, the River Waveney Trust and the RSPB, have sent an open letter to council leaders, MPs and local government minister Jim McMahon urging nature to be an integral part of the new set-up.
