Why would East and West be best?
Unitaries in East Suffolk, West Suffolk and North Haven would:
- save you money by combining services, cutting duplication;
- represent the unique identities of your part of Suffolk;
- ensure your Council Tax is invested in where you live;

- listen to your parish and town councils, residents' groups and other community organisations;
- help those at the heart of your communities to get involved in local decision-making and provide some services themselves;
- work with businesses to create jobs and increase prosperity;
- use our wide experience and local knowledge to solve problems quickly;
- bring in the funds for affordable homes, regeneration schemes, local investment;
