The council's East Suffolk Strategic Plan identifies five areas which we believe will be really important for East Suffolk over the next four years – economic growth, value for money, digital transformation, our environment and enabling communities. Our Enabling Communities Strategy explains what we mean by ‘enabling communities’ and how we want to work differently and better with our communities to improve the environment, economy and social aspects of the area to make services – and life – better for everyone.

Under the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monuments Act 1953 Historic England compiles a register of “gardens and other land” situated in England that appear to be of special historic interest. The main purpose of this Register is to celebrate designed landscapes of note, and encourage appropriate protection. It is hoped that drawing attention to sites in this way will increase awareness of their value and encourage those who own them, or who otherwise have a role in their protection and their future, to treat these special places with due care.
