Local Government Review


The independent Boundary Committee for England is looking at how one or more single, all-purpose councils - known as ‘unitary authorities’ - could replace the existing ‘two-tier’ system of county and borough/district councils. In England, there are currently two-tier areas (like Norfolk and Suffolk), and unitary authorities (like Peterborough and Southend).

The Boundary Committee has put forward two draft proposals for the future of councils in Suffolk: two unitary councils covering Suffolk, or one unitary council for the whole of Suffolk.
