The Boundary Committee is currently conducting a review of local government structures in Suffolk and Norfolk.

Mid Suffolk District Council, together with Suffolk County Council, have submitted a concept for a single unitary council for Suffolk. The concept is based on a new radical approach to local governance – One Suffolk - and paints a compelling picture of the future.

Neighbourhood empowerment, strategic leadership and high quality affordable public services are at the heart of our concept and we believe it will deliver a step change for Suffolk citizens. This will address the different challenges that the rural and urban areas of Suffolk face, whilst delivering genuine devolution to neighbourhoods.
