  • Council Size Proposal for a Future Council for West Suffolk Submitted
    Council Size Proposal for a Future Council for West Suffolk Submitted on behalf of Forest Heath District Council and St Edmundsbury Borough Council In September 2017, Forest Heath District Council (FHDC) and St Edmundsbury Borough Council (SEBC) agreed a business case that supports the formation of a single district-tier Council for West Suffolk. This business case has now been submitted to the Secretary of State, who, under s.15 of the Cities and Local Government Devolution Act 2016, has the power to issue an Order to create the new Council. The business case and associated appendices is available at http://svr-mgov-01:9070/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=3649&Ver=4 That Order will include those ancillary matters necessary to bring the new Council into being. One of the most important aspects is the number of Councillors necessary to operate the new council. Whilst this decision will be made by the Secretary of State, we consider it important that we submit our views, as the current District and Borough Councillors for West Suffolk, on the number of Councillors we believe the future Council should have. This paper covers: - Background to West Suffolk as a place - Background to West Suffolk councils - Forming our argument for council size, including: o The governance arrangements of the council o Regulatory decision making o Scrutiny and oversight arrangements o Responsibility to outside bodies o The representational role of councillors o Views of the residents of West Suffolk o How our argument creates a council size - Conclusion About West Suffolk West Suffolk is a growing area.
