Council Services: Who does what?
In Suffolk, amenities and services are taken care of by three tiers of government:
- County Council – Suffolk Country Council
- District Council – East Suffolk Council
- Town or Parish Council – Saxmundham Town Council
Each Council has its own responsibilities and budgets to spend. Often it can be difficult to know which Council does what. If you have a question or a problem to solve, you need to know who to contact or where to go for help.
