Council leaders back ‘Suffolk to the Power of Three’ option as part of local government reorganisation consultation
Suffolk residents, businesses and local organisations are being urged to take part in a once in a generation opportunity to shape how council services are delivered for their local communities.
The Government's statutory consultation on LGR is now open, but people only have until 11 January to respond, so we would be grateful for your help in ensuring that your communities are aware.
The consultation seeks views on the two proposals submitted for Suffolk: the Three Councils for Suffolk case submitted jointly by the district and borough councils, and One Suffolk, submitted by Suffolk County Council.
You can find out more on the Three Councils for Suffolk website, including the benefits of our case for businesses, residents, town and parish councils and for the voluntary and community sector. In addition to our case in full, there are also Q&As which may help you respond to queries from residents. The site also includes a link to the One Suffolk website to ensure awareness of both cases.
We are also raising awareness through social media and would be grateful for your help by following, liking and sharing our posts.
In addition, leaflets and postcards have been produced for councillors to share within their communities and networks (artwork attached to the email to clerks for their information).
Should you wish to receive any of these materials, please let us know via your district councillor, or by contacting Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils’ communication team direct.
