East Suffolk Council

East Suffolk Strategic Plan

‘Our Direction 2028’ is our Strategic Plan and presents the council’s key ambitions and priorities for the next four years. Our aim is to promote a bright, green, open, free, and fair future for all East Suffolk, and our priorities are:

This reflects the political ambitions of the Green, Liberal Democrat and Independent administration and sets the path we are embarking on together, collaboratively, for the four years until 2028. The council wants to work with and empower communities and individuals to conserve what we love about our district, improve services where we need to and adapt to our changing environment - ensuring the district is in the best place possible in 2028.

In delivering this plan, we recognise the importance of the solid foundations that are critically important to any successful local authority. We will continue to provide excellent quality services for our residents and will always listen - engaging with you whenever possible.

Our Direction 2028 sets out the themes and priorities for East Suffolk Council across the next four years. However, it is also important that we are then seen to deliver against these priorities, ensuring real, tangible outcomes for all our communities.

Therefore, we will develop an action plan to measure exactly what we are doing and what we have achieved. It will be clear and transparent, reflecting our determination to make a genuine difference.
