County Leader outlines priorities

In a speech this week County Councillor Mark Bee, Leader of Suffolk County Council, outlined his priorities for the authority over the next two years.

Councillor Bee said; “Good quality, value for money services, protection of the most vulnerable and keeping council tax down – this is what the people of Suffolk want me to do and I am determined to deliver it for them.“To do this we need to think differently to think radically about how we operate in the future.”

He continued; “One of the key ways in which we can achieve this is to break down the barriers across the public sector and work in partnership removing duplication. I would like to see a single gateway for public services delivering joined up local government.

“A perfect example of this is public buildings. Working together with my fellow leaders across Councils in Suffolk and other public sector organisations including the police and fire service we will be looking to share accommodation, use space more efficiently and improve the services we are able to deliver.

“It’s about delivering what people need, not what we want to provide.”
