Norfolk and Suffolk Mayoral Combined Authority Website Goes Live

A website has been launched for the new Norfolk and Suffolk Combined Authority: www.norfolksuffolk-cca.gov.uk.

Under the Government’s devolution priority programme Norfolk and Suffolk have been offered the transfer of powers and funding from Whitehall, to enable decisions on jobs, skills, transport and housing to be taken in Norfolk and Suffolk.  There is also an investment fund for 30 years, to spend on local priorities.

The combined authority would be made up of the mayor, plus councillors from Norfolk and Suffolk. They will take responsibility for a range of functions and funding, including:

  • Local transport
  • Skills and jobs
  • Housing development
  • Economic growth and regeneration
  • Environment and climate change
  • From 2027 – taking on police and crime commissioner and fire and rescue authority functions
