Suffolk Minerals & Waste Local Plan Issues & Options Consultation
What
As an initial stage of the preparation of the Suffolk Minerals & Waste Local Plan, Suffolk County Council is inviting comments upon the Issues & Options Consultation.
The Issues & Options Consultation document discusses the proposed changes to be made to the existing minerals and waste policies, and invites the submission of information in support of proposed sites for minerals extraction and wastemanagement.
Which of the proposed sites will eventually be included in the draft plan will not be known until the summer of 2017 after they have been carefully assessed. Sites that are already included in the existing plans, but which have not already come forward, will need to be resubmitted for consideration as well.
The accompanying Sustainability Appraisal document assesses the relative merits of the different issues and options.

Police station opening hours
As Suffolk Police move closer towards implementing the new local policing model on 4 April 2016, some front counters at police stations across the county will have reduced opening hours over the coming weeks.
As part of the Suffolk Local Policing review, from 4 April 2016, front counters at police stations in Ipswich , Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft will be open to the public and the remainder will close. All police stations will remain operational with local officers working from these bases and patrolling within communities. Police will still be available 24/7 via the intercoms provided outside all police stations.
A number of front counter staff are being redeployed throughout the organisation, meaning some front counters may on occasion work to reduced hours. Daily opening hours can be confirmed by ringing 101. Police can be contacted at any time in an emergency on 999 or on 101 for non-urgent matters.
From 4th April 2016, police stations can be visited in: Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft. These front counters will be open Monday- Friday 9-5 and Saturday 10-6.
