The Government’s public consultation on Local Government Reorganisation is now closed. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to share their views and opinions. This is the biggest change the county has seen in over 50 years and it’s important that the voices of Suffolk’s residents are heard.
While we don’t have a confirmed timeline for the Government’s decision, we will be providing further updates through the One Suffolk channels as soon as we receive them.

One Suffolk is Suffolk County Council’s response to the call from Government to reorganise local councils and bring everything under one council for the whole county. That means one point of contact, one set of priorities, and one place to go when you need information.
This isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about doing more with what we have. One Suffolk will deliver:
Councillor Richard Rout, Suffolk County Council’s cabinet member for devolution and local government reform, explains everything you need to understand about the One Suffolk proposal.
The proposal sets out the vision for One Suffolk – a streamlined approach to local government designed to deliver better services, improved efficiency, and stronger communities.
To help you understand what this means for Suffolk, we’ve created a range of resources that explain the proposals in detail and what they could mean for residents, businesses, and local councils.
If you believe in One Suffolk, help others understand why. Talk to your neighbours, show your support online, and spread the word. Let’s build something smarter, simpler and better together.
The Government’s public consultation on the future of councils in Suffolk has now closed – we want to thank everyone who took the time to respond. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape Suffolk’s councils and it’s important to make your voice heard.
Community leaders from the worlds of business, health, social care, agriculture and tourism have thrown their support behind One Suffolk – a proposal to replace Suffolk’s six councils with just one unitary council delivering all local and county-wide services.
Hear from the Voices of One Suffolk about why they believe a single authority is the best option for our county.
