Message from the Leader


 

Local Government Review


 

The long summer break is here, but the work continues in Forest Heath!

We have planned a superb summer programme for younger people and their families and you can find out more on this website's pages for younger people.

The serious work continues too with our gathering of your views on local government re-organisation.  You can find out more on this website on the local government review page.

The Boundary Committee has proposed two unitary councils in Suffolk - one covering Ipswich and Felixstowe and one covering rural Suffolk (without Lowestoft).  The other option that finds "merit" with the Boundary Committee is for one unitary council for all Suffolk (minus Lowestoft).

It is the Boundary Committee that is consulting on its ideas, but we are seeking views to help inform our reply which needs to be submitted by 26 September.

We have written to you asking for your preferences from a list that includes the Boundary Committee's ideas.  We need your views by 31 August so please watch out for the consultation leaflet and letter.
