Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils

Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils have answered the challenges facing local government by developing a new way of delivering council services; Working Together.

In the last six years, we have achieved £13m cumulative savings by delivering our services with a joint Chief Executive and a fully integrated staff structure. We now have a shared vision and outcome based approach which marks a fundamental shift for both councils, and presents the opportunity to move from simply Working Together, to working as one Council. This would not only support the delivery of our new shared vision but also protect our public services by providing long term financial security for the new council.

The main office for Babergh and Mid Suffolk it is Endeavour House, in Ipswich.
