North Haven - The best option
The Business Case for the proposed North Haven unitary authority is available in the Business Case section of this website.
The independent Boundary Committee for England has published its new draft proposals for patterns of unitary local government in Suffolk.
They are essentially the same patterns as earlier:
- A two-unitary council model consisting of an Ipswich and Felixstowe unitary authority, ‘North Haven’ (lead authority Ipswich Borough Council) and a Suffolk Rural authority (lead authority Suffolk County Council)
- A single unitary Suffolk council
However, the Boundary Committee now wants Lowestoft to remain in Suffolk. This is a decision supported by Ipswich Borough Council.
The Boundary Committee's proposal would provide strong and effective strategic leadership, empower communities, deliver value for money services and be affordable. You can read more about why we are asking you to support change and establish two new unitaries in Suffolk in this leaflet:
The full Boundary Committee proposal and consultation responses can be accessed through the Suffolk Structural Review pages on their website.
