Babergh and Mid Suffolk DCOur democratic services team are super-heroes. They meticulously anticipated, designed and simultaneously executed a bespoke development programme for our councils. This is particularly exceptional as it focused on supporting our largest intake of new councillors (52%) and reflected seismic political change – Mid Suffolk DC becoming the first majority ‘Green’ council in the northern hemisphere and Babergh DC adopting an innovative coalition agreement of leadership rotating between three political parties each year. This comprehensive programme ensured a smooth transition of power for our communities and enabled immediate delivery of change for our residents by the councillors they elected.
