A NEW SURVEY HAS BEEN LAUNCHED BY SUFFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL
It’s fairly well known that we strongly believe that replacing Suffolk’s six local authorities with a single new council would be smarter, simpler, and better for our County. We’ve arrived where we have because early figures show it’s the only way to save money, improve services, and keep your Council Tax as low as possible — but that doesn’t mean our proposal is the finished product. ...
Of course, a key part of this work is finding out what people think about the state of local government in Suffolk – and what their hopes are for the future. After all, it’s your council tax and services, so what you think is vitally important.
That’s why we’ve launched a public survey today — to help us develop our proposals in a way that directly addresses your concerns. The survey only takes about 10 minutes to complete and can be done online at www.suffolk.gov.uk/devolution, by emailing devolution@suffolk.gov.uk, or by calling ☏ 0345 603 1842, where one of our helpful Customer Service Team can help you to complete the survey. ...
This survey will help us to develop our plan so that we can be confident it addresses the issues that matter most to you. I’d therefore encourage you to take a moment to have your say. It’s open for eight weeks – until 4th August, 2025.
