Parish Council
Although the site is still in its early stages and content will continue to be developed, it already provides a helpful overview of the work underway to establish the new combined authority for Norfolk and Suffolk. The website sets out background information on the devolution process, governance arrangements, and the next steps towards formal implementation.
As the MCCA develops, additional information will be added, including updates on key milestones, details of the proposed functions and responsibilities, and opportunities for councils to stay informed.
Councils are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the site and check back regularly for updates and supporting materials.

On 5 February 2025 it was announced that Suffolk is on the new fast-track Devolution Priority Programme (DPP) resulting in an election of a Mayor (covering Suffolk and Norfolk) in May 2026.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has started a consultation on this matter which we would like to bring to your attention. The deadline is 23.50 on 13th April and the easiest way to submit a representation is online at: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/norfolk-and-suffolk-devolution
