• Our Correspondence with Government

  At the meeting of Full Council on 23 November 2022, councillors unanimously passed a motion to raise issues of water quality with Government and Anglian Water. As a result, in January 2023, the Chairman of East Suffolk Council wrote a letter to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Therese Coffey MP, to urge action to protect our water systems and engage with all stakeholders to work together to improve water quality. We received this reply from Defra. The chairman also wrote a letter to Anglian Water to urge action to reduce sewer discharges, improve water quality checks, equip sites with functioning monitors, improve communications with the council and reduce surface water run-off to prevent sewers from being overwhelmed.

• Strategic engagement

  Many new connections and significant generation infrastructure are required to deliver net zero carbon emissions in the UK by 2050. The resources and conditions in East Suffolk and East Anglia for fixed foundation offshore wind and interconnectors make this area favourable to developers. East Suffolk Council is concerned about the significant number of projects which might seek to be accommodated within the district as a result. Through engagement with developers individually and collectively, the council has and continues to seek to minimise the harm and adverse impacts on the environment and communities from projects, whilst ensuring that any benefits are maximised. Simultaneously, East Suffolk Council is also engaging on a more strategic level.
