Empowering Suffolk's Future - Have your say on proposed devolution deal for Suffolk

Suffolk County Council has been invited to enter into a new style of devolution deal with the Government – the County Deal.

Suffolk County Council and the Government have signed a proposed, in principle, devolution deal which would transfer certain powers and funding from the Government to Suffolk. It would mean more decisions about Suffolk’s future being made in Suffolk, rather than nationally.

If the proposed deal is finalised, Suffolk would receive new decision-making powers and greater local control of funding in areas including adult education, regeneration and transport, as well as control of a new investment fund worth £480 million over the next thirty years.
