Background

History

The district was formed on 1 April 2019 as a merger of the two previous districts of Suffolk Coastal and Waveney. The two councils had previously been working in partnership since 2008. Although it has the same name, the modern district covers a smaller area than the former administrative county of East Suffolk, which was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. Under upcoming local government reform plans, the district is scheduled to be replaced in 2028, with its area split between the new Central and Eastern Suffolk and Ipswich and South Suffolk unitary authorities.
