Local Government Reorganisation: What it Means and Why it Matters to You
Advertisement
A free Q&A event featuring an expert panel to help local people understand the options being considered for Local Government Reorganisation.
As major changes are being proposed for how local councils operate in Suffolk, residents and businesses in Haverhill are invited to a special public event on Tuesday 29th July to understand what’s happening—and why it matters.
The evening will open with a welcome from Henry Wilson, CEO of REACH and Chair of ONE Haverhill, and will be chaired by Roy Graham, trustee of Reach Community Projects.
Colin Poole, Town Clerk of Haverhill Town Council, will provide a clear, factual overview of devolution and the story so far—particularly what the changes could mean at a local level.
We then have two guests to present different perspectives: Councillor Richard Rout, Portfolio Holder for LGR at Suffolk County Council, will explain the County Council’s case for a single unitary authority for Suffolk, and Councillor Cliff Waterman, Chair of West Suffolk District Council, will outline the District and Borough Councils’ vision for two or three unitary authorities.
Then it's over to you! The second half of the evening will be dedicated to audience questions and comments, offering a valuable opportunity for those who live and work in Haverhill to gain a better understanding and share reflections.
