A former Reform UK MP - who is now serving as an independent - has set up a new political party.
Rupert Lowe, who represents Great Yarmouth, has launched Great Yarmouth First which he says will "solely" promote the interests of his constituency.
The new party is yet to register with the Electoral Commission and Lowe said the group needed to establish itself first.
According to Lowe, 500 residents had already joined and he had funded a year's membership fees for these first 500 people.
Conservative Carl Smith, leader of Great Yarmouth Borough Council, denied the main parties had let down the town.
He pointed to about £300m that had been invested into the area since 2019, including the Herring Bridge crossing which opened in February 2024.
"Rupert Lowe seems to think that people feel the main parties are letting them down. Well I certainly don't feel that," said Smith.
Smith highlighted the new marina centre, the regeneration of the Winter Gardens and the conversion of the Palmers building into a library and university campus.
Lowe set up his own political movement, Restore Britain, earlier this year.
He had been suspended by Reform UK in March, after allegations he made threats of physical violence against then party chairman Zia Yusuf.
The Crown Prosecution Service later said there was insufficient evidence for a "realistic prospect of conviction".
