A Devolution Deal for Suffolk

Suffolk County Council has been invited to apply to be part of the government's devolution priority programme.
Empowering Suffolk's Future

It's part of the government's English Devolution White Paper, which seeks to devolve powers and funding from central government to local leaders and Mayors - whilst at the same time reorganising existing council structures in two-tier areas like Suffolk.

This would simplify and streamline council structures so it's easier for residents to understand and save taxpayers money.
