Following the previous Devolution update published on the 7th January 2025, Suffolk County Council held an extraordinary meeting on 9th January of councillors, and a meeting of its Cabinet, to debate and then decide on whether or not to put Suffolk forward for the government's new devolution and reorganisation programme.
