Responding to the government’s decision to reinstate local elections in Suffolk in May 2026, Councillor Matthew Hicks, Leader of Suffolk County Council, said:
“The decision on whether or not to postpone local elections rests entirely with Government. We have been clear about that from the start.
“We have not been privy to the legal advice they reference. However, throughout this process, ministers and civil servants have consistently expressed confidence in their position. That makes the current situation all the more surprising.
“Local councils across the country are experiencing whiplash as major government decisions shift repeatedly and without warning. This uncertainty makes it almost impossible to plan effectively, deliver stability for residents, or provide clarity for our staff and partners.
“There is now a significant question mark over the government’s wider agenda for devolution and local government reorganisation. Certainly, as we previously set out in our letter to ministers, this makes delivering one new unitary council for Suffolk more difficult, and three nigh on impossible.
“Our priority in Suffolk remains to deliver reliable services, protect residents, and ensure our communities are not disadvantaged by national uncertainty.”
